Should any of these 11 players be one of the top five and ties to successfully secure 2025 PGA Tour membership at this week's PGA Tour Q-School in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, they will certainly have earned their card. That's because they will have advanced through each stage of Q-School — Pre-Qualifying, First Stage, Second Stage and Final Stage. The 11 players are Drew Doyle, Luke Gifford, Jake Hall, John Houchin, John Houk, Cameron Huss, Dawson Jones, Owen Stamper, Andi Xu, Lance Yates and Runchanapong Youprayong. Also, the field includes 14 PGA Tour winners, including five-time champion Nick Watney. The others are Sangmoon Bae (2 wins), Ryan Brehm, Austin Cook, Tyler Duncan, Tommy Gainey, Lanto Griffin, Garrick Higgo, Martin Laird (4), S.Y. Noh, Sean O’Hair (4), Scott Piercy (4), Chez Reavie (3) and Richy Werenski.
