These 48 golfers earned Korn Ferry Tour status at PGA Tour Q-School
Todd KellyAll the attention on Sunday at PGA Tour's Q-School Final Stage was the top-five finishers. Only the top five would earn PGA Tour cards for the 2026 season.
These are the fortunate five, with Wu earning the fifth and final card after surviving a playoff against Ben Silverman.

The cutoff to earn a paycheck this week was the same as those who earned a KFT card, with those top 40 plus ties all cashed a check for $6,000.
Furthermore, there was still something for everyone who reached the Final Stage but came up short of the cutoff for a PGA Tour card or Korn Ferry Tour status.
According to the PGA Tour:
All remaining finishers: Conditional membership for the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season and subject to the reshuffle (first reshuffle occurs after sixth event); membership on PGA Tour Americas for the 2026 season and subject to the reshuffle (first reshuffle occurs after sixth event).
