INTRODUCTION

The DP World Tour Q-School consists of three stages; First, Second and Final.

This post covers FINAL STAGE QUALIFYING which is being played at Infinitum Golf in Tarragona, Spain between the 7th-12th November.

My focus remains on the amateur players, the Great British & Irish (GB&I) professionals, any newly turned professionals from abroad and all of the 1st and 2nd Stage Q-School Winners.

Earlier articles have covered the nine FIRST STAGE and four SECOND STAGE events which have led us to this week’s FINAL STAGE.

156 players will battle over six rounds for a top 20 and ties finish and a place on the DP World Tour for the 2026 season.

The Final Results will be added to this article in due course.

More information on the whole 2025 Qualifying School can be found in the Appendix at the end of this article.

COMPETITION AND FIELD 

156 players will play a total of six rounds or 108 holes over Infinitum’s two championship courses; the Lakes which plays 7,001 yards (par 71) and the Hills which is slightly shorter at 6,956 yards (par 72).

102 players, including 7 Alternates, came through the four Second Stage competitions with the remaining 54 being exempted into Final Stage through their recent endeavours on the DP World Tour and HotelPlanner Tour.

36 Great British & Irish (GB&I) players will be competing this week; 25 came through Second Stage with 11 being exempt.

No amateurs have made it through to Final Stage this year.

After two rounds are played on both the Hills and Lakes courses (72 holes) the field will be cut to the leading 60 players and ties. The final 36 holes will then be played on the Lakes Course over the remaining two competition days.

APPENDIX

THE 2025 DP WORLD TOUR QUALIFYING SCHOOL SERIES

The DP World Tour (previously known as the European Tour) Qualifying School was first played in 1976, four years after the European Tour was founded. What started out as a 72 hole test has grown into potentially a 252 hole marathon.

Nowadays there are three stages of stroke play qualifying; First, Second and Final.

The 2025 European Tour Q-School entrance fee has been maintained at £2,750 (2024 & ’23: £2,500, 2022: £2,000, 2019: £1,800) with entries closed on 13th August 2025.

Male amateur golfers who are listed in positions 1-2,000 of the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) or have a handicap index of not more than +2.5 can enter (in 2024 this was +1.5).

Some entrants are exempted straight into Second Stage or Final Stage based on their past results and ranking.

From an amateur perspective, and subject to entering First Stage, exemptions into Second Stage are available to: –

  • the leading 3 entrants as at 13th August 2025 to a limit of 20th place in the WAGR; and
  • the leading 2 entrants as at 13th August 2025 to a limit of 10th place in the Global Amateur Ranking.

FIRST STAGE

First Stage consisted of ten 72 hole stroke play qualifying events.

Around 20% of each field, normally 15-30 players, progress from each event. The actual number of places are confirmed after all the players have teed off on Day 1 of each qualifier.

The DP World Tour introduced a 36 hole cut to First Stage in 2023. Originally it removed players not within 12-shots of the projected final qualifying place but this year this was tightened to 10 shots. The 54 hole cut, where previously only players within 7-shots of the final qualifying place play the final round, has now been removed.

Any ties for the final qualifying place at the end of play proceed too.

Here are links to all of the results from the First Stage events:-

26th-29th August 1. HULENCOURT, BELGIUM (WEEK 1) – Results

26th-29th August 2. THE PLAYERS CLUB, ENGLAND – Results

2nd-5th September 3. HUDDERSFIELD GOLF CLUB, ENGLAND – Results

2nd-5th September 4. HULENCOURT, BELGIUM (WEEK 2) – Results

_________________________________________________

SECOND STAGE

The Second Qualifying Stage consists of four separate 72-hole events with c.72 players competing at each one.

30th October-2nd November 2025

DESERT SPRINGS RESORT, ALMERIA, SPAIN – Results

FORTANALS GOLF CLUB, GIRONA, SPAIN – Results

ISLA CANELA (LINKS COURSE), HUELVA, SPAIN – Results

GOLF LAS PINAILLAS, ALBACETE, SPAIN – Results

There is no cut but players are able to withdrawal after each round if they wish to.

The actual number of places available for Final Stage are again confirmed after all of the players have teed off on Day 1 of each event. Sudden death play-offs are held to resolve ties at this Stage.

FINAL STAGE

The Final Qualifying Stage consists of 108 holes on the Lakes and Hills Courses at Infinitum Golf, previously known as Lumine GC, in Tarragona, Spain.

7th-12th November 2025

INFINITUM, TARRAGONA, SPAIN

Infinitum replaced PGA Catalunya Resort in 2017 and will be hosting Final Stage for the seventh time this year. No Q-School was held in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A new 3 year contract through to 2027 was announced on 12th November 2024 which will see the Tarragona venue continue to stage the Finals.

156 players will play two rounds over each of the Lakes and Hills Courses. After these 72 holes the field will be cut to the leading 60 players and ties who will play a final 36 holes. The top 65 have progressed in previous years.

The leading 20 players (plus those tied for 20th place) in the Final Stage competition will earn Conditional Membership of The DP World Tour (and fully exempt status on the HotelPlanner Tour) for the 2026 season. In 2024 the medalist had 28 tournament playing opportunities whilst the 20th qualifier has just 9.

Those who make the 72 hole cut but finish outside the Top 20 will also earn a membership category, albeit a lower one, on the DP World Tour (and HotelPlanner Tour).

Players who miss the cut will be eligible for membership of the HotelPlanner Tour.

Every player is ranked according to their finishing score, card count backs assisting in this process, and this ranking matters when it comes to future playing opportunities.

DP World Tour Q-School – 2025 Second Stage Preview & Results

Posted on by

26th October 2025 – Last Updated 6th November 2025

I am following all of the amateur players as well as the Great British & Irish (GB&I) professionals through the 2025 DP World Tour Qualifying School series.

Q-School consists of three stages; First, Second and Final.

This article covers SECOND STAGE QUALIFYING which was played in Spain on 30th October-2nd November.

An earlier article covered the FIRST STAGE, which was played between 26th August and 10th October 2025, whilst an additional one will be penned prior to the FINAL STAGE commencing.

Final Stage will be played at Infinitum Golf in Spain on 7th-12th November where 156 players will battle over six rounds for a top 20 and ties finish and a place on the DP World Tour for the 2026 season. In previous years the top 25 and ties earned playing privileges.

Additional background on the 2025 Qualifying School can be found in the Appendix below.

img_2805

SECOND STAGE

The Second Qualifying Stage consisted of four separate events played at Desert Springs Resort & Golf Club, Isla Canela Links, Golf Las Pinaillas and Fontanals Golf Club, all in Spain.

72-holes of stroke play were played. There were no cuts but players were able to withdrawal after each round if they wished to.

Sudden death play-offs were held to resolve ties for the final spots at this Stage with alternates also determined to deal with any future Final Stage withdrawals.

The DP World Tour initially allocated 95 places in the Final Stage event to the competitors. 7 alternates were subsequently called up to Final Stage meaning 102 players ultimately progressed from Second Stage.

287 players competed including 66 from Great Britain & Ireland – 23.0% of the overall field. There were also 8 players at Second Stage who were still amateurs.

The leading three (it was two in 2024) amateur entrants, who were Dominic Clemons (ENG), Charlie Forster (ENG) and Kristian Hjort Bressum (DEN), to a limit of 10th place in the Global Amateur Pathway Ranking (GAPR) as at 13th August 2025 were exempt from First Stage. Clemons and Hjort Bressum both turned pro in October 2025 and Forster did so ahead of his Second Stage event.

The other amateur First Stage exemption, relating to the leading three amateur entrants to a limit of 20th place in the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) as at 13th August 2025, was not utilised this year.

24 GB&I players were successful across the fours sites.

No amateurs progressed although two recently turned pros Matteo Cristoni (ITA) and Kristian Hjort Bressum (DEN) did qualify.

APPENDIX

THE 2025 DP WORLD TOUR QUALIFYING SCHOOL SERIES

The DP World Tour (previously known as the European Tour) Qualifying School was first played in 1976, four years after the European Tour was founded. What started out as a 72 hole test has grown into potentially a 252 hole marathon.

Nowadays there are three stages of stroke play qualifying; First, Second and Final.

The 2025 European Tour Q-School entrance fee has been maintained at £2,750 (2024 & ’23: £2,500, 2022: £2,000, 2019: £1,800) with entries closed on 13th August 2025.

Male amateur golfers who are listed in positions 1-2,000 of the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) or have a handicap index of not more than +2.5 can enter (in 2024 this was +1.5).

Some entrants are exempted straight into Second Stage or Final Stage based on their past results and ranking.

From an amateur perspective, and subject to entering First Stage, exemptions into Second Stage are available to: –

  • the leading 3 entrants as at 13th August 2025 to a limit of 20th place in the WAGR; and
  • the leading 2 entrants as at 13th August 2025 to a limit of 10th place in the Global Amateur Ranking.

FIRST STAGE

First Stage consisted of ten 72 hole stroke play qualifying events.

Around 20% of each field, normally 15-30 players, progress from each event. The actual number of places are confirmed after all the players have teed off on Day 1 of each qualifier.

The DP World Tour introduced a 36 hole cut to First Stage in 2023. Originally it removed players not within 12-shots of the projected final qualifying place but this year this was tightened to 10 shots. The 54 hole cut, where previously only players within 7-shots of the final qualifying place play the final round, has now been removed.

Any ties for the final qualifying place at the end of play proceed too.

Here are links to all of the results from the First Stage events:-

26th-29th August 1. HULENCOURT, BELGIUM (WEEK 1) – Results

26th-29th August 2. THE PLAYERS CLUB, ENGLAND – Results

FINAL STAGE

The Final Qualifying Stage consists of 108 holes on the Lakes and Hills Courses at Infinitum Golf, previously known as Lumine GC, in Tarragona, Spain.

7th-12th November 2025

INFINITUM, TARRAGONA, SPAIN

Infinitum replaced PGA Catalunya Resort in 2017 and will be hosting Final Stage for the seventh time this year. No Q-School was held in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A new 3 year contract through to 2027 was announced on 12th November 2024 which will see the Tarragona venue continue to stage the Finals.

156 players will play two rounds over each of the Lakes and Hills Courses. After these 72 holes the field will be cut to the leading 60 players and ties who will play a final 36 holes. The top 65 have progressed in previous years.

The leading 20 players (plus those tied for 20th place) in the Final Stage competition will earn Conditional Membership of The DP World Tour (and fully exempt status on the HotelPlanner Tour) for the 2026 season. In 2024 the medalist had 28 tournament playing opportunities whilst the 20th qualifier has just 9.

Those who make the 72 hole cut but finish outside the Top 20 will also earn a membership category, albeit a lower one, on the DP World Tour (and HotelPlanner Tour).

Players who miss the cut will be eligible for membership of the HotelPlanner Tour.

Every player is ranked according to their finishing score, card count backs assisting in this process, and this ranking matters when it comes to future playing opportunities.

DP World Tour Q-School – 2025 First Stage Preview & Results

Posted on by

26th August 2025 – Last Updated 10th October 2025

I am following all of the amateur players as well as the Great British & Irish (GB&I) professionals through the 2025 DP World Tour Qualifying School series.

Q-School consists of three stages, First, Second and Final.

This article covers FIRST STAGE QUALIFYING which starts on 26th August and ends on 10th October 2025.

Additional articles will be written to cover the SECOND STAGE and FINAL STAGE in due course.

Four Second Stage events will be played in Spain on 30th October-2nd November.

Final Stage will be played at Infinitum Golf in Spain on 7th-12th November where 156 players will battle over six rounds for a top 20 and ties finish and a place on the DP World Tour for the 2026 season. In previous years the top 25 and ties earned playing privileges.

Additional background on the 2025 Qualifying School can be found in the Appendix below.

FIRST STAGE

This year First Stage consists of ten 72 hole stroke play qualifying events.

The number of players who advance from each First Stage tournament is based on field size and calculated on a pro rata basis (c.20% from each tournament progress). All players who tie for the last qualifying position also advance to the Second Stage.

The DP World Tour introduced a 36 hole cut to First Stage in 2023. Originally it removed players not within 12-shots of the projected final qualifying place but this year this has been tightened to within 10 shots. The 54 hole cut, where previously only players within 7-shots of the final qualifying place play the final round, has now been removed.

In 2025 761 (2024: 808) players competed in First Stage. This included 185 (199) players from GB&I (24.4%) and 76 (76) amateurs (10.0%).

In 2025 175 (2024: 190) progressed to Second Stage. 46 (50) were from GB&I and 12 (10) were amateurs.

Here is a chronological list of the ten events showing the entries / results of the GB&I and amateur players that I am following: –

APPENDIX

THE 2025 DP WORLD TOUR QUALIFYING SCHOOL SERIES

The DP World Tour (previously known as the European Tour) Qualifying School was first played in 1976, four years after the European Tour was founded. What started out as a 72 hole test has grown into potentially a 252 hole marathon.

Nowadays there are three stages of stroke play qualifying; First, Second and Final.

The 2025 European Tour Q-School entrance fee has been maintained at £2,750 (2024 & ’23: £2,500, 2022: £2,000, 2019: £1,800) with entries closed on 13th August 2025.

Male amateur golfers who are listed in positions 1-2,000 of the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) or have a handicap index of not more than +2.5 can enter (in 2024 this was +1.5).

Some entrants are exempted straight into Second Stage or Final Stage based on their past results and ranking.

From an amateur perspective, and subject to entering First Stage, exemptions into Second Stage are available to: –

  • the leading 3 entrants as at 13th August 2025 to a limit of 20th place in the WAGR; and
  • the leading 2 entrants as at 13th August 2025 to a limit of 10th place in the Global Amateur Ranking.

FIRST STAGE

First Stage consists of ten 72 hole stroke play qualifying events.

Around 20% of each field, normally 15-30 players, progress from each event. The actual number of places are confirmed after all the players have teed off on Day 1 of each qualifier.

The DP World Tour introduced a 36 hole cut to First Stage in 2023. Originally it removed players not within 12-shots of the projected final qualifying place but this year this has been tightened to 10 shots. The 54 hole cut, where previously only players within 7-shots of the final qualifying place play the final round, has now been removed.

Any ties for the final qualifying place at the end of play proceed too.

SECOND STAGE

The Second Qualifying Stage consists of four separate 72-hole events with c.78 players competing at each one.

30th October-2nd November 2025

DESERT SPRINGS RESORT, ALMERIA, SPAIN

ISLA CANELA (LINKS COURSE), HUELVA, SPAIN

GOLF LAS PINAILLAS, ALBACETE, SPAIN

FORTANALS GOLF CLUB, GIRONA, SPAIN

There is no cut but players are able to withdrawal after each round if they wish to.

The actual number of places available for Final Stage are again confirmed after all of the players have teed off on Day 1 of each event. Sudden death play-offs are held to resolve ties at this Stage.

FINAL STAGE

The Final Qualifying Stage consists of 108 holes on the Lakes and Hills Courses at Infinitum Golf, previously known as Lumine GC, in Tarragona, Spain.

7th-12th November 2025

INFINITUM, TARRAGONA, SPAIN

Infinitum replaced PGA Catalunya Resort in 2017 and will be hosting Final Stage for the seventh time this year. No Q-School was held in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A new 3 year contract through to 2027 was announced on 12th November 2024 which will see the Tarragona venue continue to stage the Finals.

156 players will play two rounds over each of the Lakes and Hills Courses. After these 72 holes the field will be cut to the leading 60 players and ties who will play a final 36 holes. The top 65 have progressed in previous years.

The leading 20 players (plus those tied for 20th place) in the Final Stage competition will earn Conditional Membership of The DP World Tour (and fully exempt status on the HotelPlanner Tour) for the 2026 season. In 2024 the medalist had 28 tournament playing opportunities whilst the 20th qualifier has just 9.

Those who make the 72 hole cut but finish outside the Top 20 will also earn a membership category, albeit a lower one, on the DP World Tour (and HotelPlanner Tour).

Players who miss the cut will be eligible for membership of the HotelPlanner Tour.

Every player is ranked according to their finishing score, card count backs assisting in this process, and this ranking matters when it comes to future playing opportunities.
