What is DP World Tour Q-School Final Stage?
DP World Tour Qualifying School is a three-stage competition giving golfers the opportunity to earn playing privileges on the DP World Tour.
The 2026 qualifying campaign began in August, with 746 players competing across 10 First Stage events in seven countries.
A total of 182 progressed to Second Stage, where 321 golfers competed across four venues in Spain for 80 places at Final Stage.
Those qualifiers join exempt DP World Tour and HotelPlanner Tour players, alongside alternates, to complete the 156-player field.
How does Final Stage work?
The six-day tournament runs from November 6-11 at INFINITUM.
Players complete two rounds on each of the resort's championship courses, The Lakes and The Hills, over the opening four days.
There's then a cut after four rounds, with the leading 60 players and ties progressing to the final two rounds, played exclusively on The Lakes course.
The Hills measures 7,056 yards and is a par 72, while The Lakes measures 7,001 yards and is a par 71.
What are players competing for?
The leading 15 players and ties earn playing opportunities through Category 18 membership for the 2027 DP World Tour season, alongside fully exempt Category 5 status on the HotelPlanner Tour.
Players finishing outside the top 15 but inside the leading 40 and ties receive Category 9 HotelPlanner Tour status.
Those further down the leaderboard who make the cut receive Category 13 status.
Players missing the 72-hole cut can still earn HotelPlanner Tour membership equivalent to Category 15.
Players to watch
There are several familiar names in the field, including nine-time DP World Tour winner Pablo Larrazábal, former Final Stage champion Edoardo Molinari and former BMW PGA winner Byeong Hun An.
Former LIV Golf players Thomas Pieters, Jose Luis Ballester and Luis Masaveu are also among the notable names looking to secure DP World Tour playing opportunities for 2027. Pieters is a former Ryder Cup player and six-time DP World Tour winner.
