The journey to the PGA Tour intensifies this week as the first stage of Q School, presented by Korn Ferry, commences on October 20, 2026. Aspiring professionals will compete in 72-hole qualifiers nationwide, battling for a limited number of spots in subsequent stages.

The ultimate goal for these golfers is to reach the Q-School finals at TPC Sawgrass from December 10-13.
Ultimately, only five players will earn the coveted PGA Tour cards for the 2027 season. Among the hopefuls are 36 residents from Florida's First Coast and Georgia's Golden Isles, including former PGA Tour members and decorated high school players, all eager to achieve their professional dreams.
