2024 PGA TOUR Q-School presented by Korn Ferry: Tournament Information

Applicants not exempt to First, Second or Final Qualifying Stage shall participate in Pre-Qualifying.  Field sizes at each tournament location are scheduled to be approximately 78 applicants with no reduction (cut) of field.  In the event the number of Pre-Qualifying entries exceeds the number that can be accommodated by the currently scheduled Pre-Qualifying tournament locations, a wait list (by time & date received) will be implemented. Withdraws prior to the Pre-Qualifying Stage deadline will be filled by players on the wait list and assigned to the site applicable to the withdraw in order. Applicant must accept assigned site or be removed permanently from the wait list.  Approximately 225 qualifying positions plus ties will be available for Pre-Qualifying contestants to advance to the First Qualifying Stage.  The number of applicants advancing from each Pre-Qualifying tournament location will be on a pro rata basis (i.e., approximately the same percentage from each tournament location will advance), and such number will be announced during Pre-Qualifying.  All applicants tied for the last qualifying position at the conclusion of play at each tournament location will advance.  Successful Pre-Qualifying applicants will be assigned their First Qualifying Stage tournament location in the order of the applicant’s preference based on Pre-Qualifying finish position.  A blind clinical draw will be conducted by PGA TOUR to determine the order that successful Pre-Qualifying applicants with the same finish position are assigned First Qualifying Stage tournament locations.  Ties among those earning a First Qualifying Stage position at the same Pre-Qualifying tournament location will be broken for the purpose of making First Qualifying Stage assignments by matching individual stipulated round scores in descending order beginning with the last round.  Ties remaining after a match of rounds will be broken by matching individual hole scores from the 18th hole of the last round backwards.  The entry fee includes green fees, practice balls on all official practice and qualifying round days and liability insurance coverage covering certain liabilities that may arise as a result of the applicant’s presence at the Pre-Qualifying tournament location.
