LIV Players Headline Loaded DP World Tour Q-School Final

Fifteen DP World Tour cards for next season will be decided when the Final Stage of Q-School begins Friday at Infinitum Golf in Spain, where a 156-man field will play six rounds over the marathon finale. As many as 80 players advanced through Second Stage qualifying last weekend to reach it.

Which LIV Golf players are in the field?

More than a dozen current or former LIV Golf League players are entered. The headliners are 2022 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship winner Thomas Pieters, 2024 Genesis Championship winner Byeong Hun An and 2025 BMW Australian PGA Championship winner Elvis Smylie, all entering through Category C, reserved for past Race to Dubai Ranking Tournament winners whose eligibility expired at the end of the 2025 or 2026 seasons.

Doyeob Mun is the only other active full-time LIV player in the Final Stage. Four former LIV golfers are also trying to earn their way back to full DP World Tour status: Frederik Kjettrup, Jinichiro Kozuma, Kieran Vincent and Kalle Samooja, who won the 2022 Porsche European Open before later competing on LIV.

Which other notable names are playing?

Spanish prospects Jose Luis Ballester and Luis Masaveu, who advanced through a playoff on Monday, are also in the field, alongside established DP World Tour names such as Ross Fisher, Pablo Larrazabal, Marcel Siem and 2024 Q-School champion Edoardo Molinari.

Larrazabal, a nine-time DP World Tour winner across 19 seasons, is seeking a 20th consecutive card after a difficult year, while Siem, the tour's most experienced active player, failed to finish inside the top 10 all season in 2026.
