PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Registration for the 2026 PGA TOUR Americas Q-School opens Monday, Jan. 12, at noon ET, with five Q-School sites offering 40 total cards. The 72-hole qualifying tournaments will be played in March before the PGA TOUR Americas season begins with the 71st ECP Brazil Open, April 16-19.
2026 PGA TOUR Americas Q-School schedule
| Dates | Golf Course | Location |
| March 17-20 | RTJ Highland Oaks | Dothan, Alabama |
| March 17-20 | Country Club of Ocala | Ocala, Florida |
| March 24-27 | The Golf Club at Terra Lago | Palm Springs, California |
| March 24-27 | Sweetwater County Club | Sugarland, Texas |
| March 31-April 3 | Soboba Springs Golf Course | San Jacinto, California |
Approximately 156 players will compete at each of the five sites, with the low 25 qualifiers and any player tied for 25th place earning PGA TOUR Americas membership.
- Finishers Nos. 1-8 from each site will earn membership for the 2026 PGA TOUR Americas season (subject to the second reorder). In the event of a tie for the eighth position, there will be a hole-by-hole playoff immediately following play.
- Finishers Nos. 9-25 and any player tied for 25th place from each site will earn conditional membership for the 2026 PGA TOUR Americas season (subject to each periodic reorder).
Last season, the top performer among the players who earned membership at PGA TOUR Americas Q-School was Dillon Stewart, who won the Bromont Open presented by Desjardins. The 24-year-old Oklahoma State University alum finished 12th on the 2025 PGA TOUR Americas Points List, and he went on to earn Korn Ferry Tour membership for 2026 via a T42 finish at Final Stage of PGA TOUR Q-School presented by Korn Ferry.
The players who emerge from Q-School will join the race for Korn Ferry Tour cards to be awarded to the top 10 players on the season-long PGA TOUR Americas Points List, which will be finalized following the PGA Oceans 4 Tour Championship presented by Scotiabank (Oct. 15-18). Those 10 players will also gain entry into Final Stage of PGA TOUR Q-School in December, providing an additional opportunity to earn PGA TOUR membership.
All PGA TOUR Americas members receive access to PGA TOUR Q-School. Players finishing Nos. 11-25 on the season-long points list will earn direct entry into Second Stage, while all remaining members will be exempted into First Stage, bypassing pre-qualifying.
