35 players claim 2023 Asian Tour cards at Q-School

Golf in uae, golf in uae world.

Germany's Dominic Foos who plays out of The Els Club Dubai amongst the lucky few

Sport - Golf - Asian Tour Q-School Graduates

Australian Jack Thompson graduated with first class honours today at the Asian Tour Qualifying School after winning the Final Stage by two shots from countryman John Lyras and China’s Bai Zhengkai, as he closed out with a five-under-par 66 for a five-round total of 22 under.

Bai returned a 65 while Lyras, who started the day sharing the lead with Thompson, shot a 68 at Lake View Resort and Golf Club in Hua Hin, Thailand.

American Michael Maguire (65) and Ye Wocheng (69) from China shared fourth, four back from the winner.

A total of 35 players out of 77 starters secured right of passage onto the Asian Tour this year.

Nine players, tied on eight under, competed in a sudden-death play-off for the last two cards which eventually went to Thomas Power Horan from Australia and England’s Ben Jones, after they both birdied the first.

Remarkably, 24-year-old Thompson made it into this week’s event by claiming the final qualifying berth at the First Stage Qualifying Section C tournament at Blue Canyon Country Club in Phuket, Thailand, at the start of the month.

Sport - Golf - Jack Thompson

Said Thompson: “This is great, I guess it hasn’t really sunk in yet. It has been a long week, I have been here for a fair few days now, it’s a relief and it’s just nice to win. There is always concern coming into an event if you can do it or not.”

Bai Zhengkai said: “This is great. I played Korn Ferry Tour 2020 to 2021, DP World Tour and Challenge Tour last year, and this year I’ll be trying the Asian Tour.

“Feels nice. I played well the last few days, feeling good and getting more familiar with the course and attacking more pins, and I think I had a pretty good week.”

A special mention to Dominic Foos. The German who bases himself in Dubai and plays out of The Els Club, Dubai had a glittering amateur career. After winning several junior amateur tournaments in Germany and internationally, Foos turned professional in 2014.

Foos played on the Challenge Tour in 2015 and won the Gant Open in August at the age of 17 years, 347 days – making him the youngest winner in Challenge Tour history.

Not long to wait for all the graduates as the first tournament on the 2023 Asian Tour schedule is the PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers at Royal Greens Golf and Country Club, February 3-6.

Asian Tour Q-School returns with five first stage events including one in the USA, leading to Final Stage in Hua Hin next January

asian golf tour qualifying school

The Asian Tour Qualifying School will return after a break of nearly two years, giving players from all over the world the opportunity to secure playing privileges for the Asian Tour’s 2023 season.

The Asian Tour has seen a recent resurgence with several new highly lucrative tournaments added to its tournament schedule. However, the playing membership has not seen a reshuffle since the 2020 season with members who secured playing rights that season retaining their status through the end of the 2022 season. The Qualifying School was not staged in 2021 and 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Final Qualifying Stage, which will see the top-35 finishers earn Asian Tour cards, will take place at Lakeview Resort & Golf Club in Hua Hin, Thailand, from January 18-22; 2023. This will be preceded by five First Stage Qualifying events, including a first in the United States.

The United States stage will take place at Oakcreek Country Club in Arizona on November 15-18, 2022, and will mark the first time the Asian Tour has visited the country.

The four other first stages will all be held in Thailand - at Blue Canyon Country Club’s Canyon Course in Phuket (December 7-10); Blue Canyon’s Lakes Course (January 4-7, 2023); Thana City Country Club in Bangkok (January 11-14, 2023); and Springfield Country Club in Hua Hin (January 11-14).

Entries into the First Qualifying Stage will be on a first come first served basis, with the top-placed finishers progressing to the Final Stage.

The Final Qualifying Stage will be played over five rounds. The top 140 (and ties) after 36 holes will progress to rounds three and four, followed by another cut to the top 70 players (and ties) after 72 holes. The top 35 players after 90 holes will be ranked accordingly for the 2023 season.

“The Asian Tour Qualifying School is the gateway to the Asian Tour and a critical component of our platform," said Cho Minn Thant, Commissioner and CEO, Asian Tour: 

“The fact that we are able to hold the Qualifying School once again after a lengthy break is a strong indicator that the Asian Tour is fully back on track and well and truly in position to follow through with the most exciting period in our history.  The Asian Tour is committed to providing a multi-tier platform for professional golfers, with the Qualifying School being an integral part of this,” he added.

Tour Q-School Heading to Australia and US

asian golf tour qualifying school

Singapore: The highly anticipated 2024 Asian Tour Qualifying School is set to be held across six different venues in three countries over a span of five months, starting in September.

Apart from its regular destination in Thailand, the Asian Tour Qualifying School will also be staged in the United States for the second straight year and is set to make a welcome return to Australia following a 17-year lapse.

The First Stage of the Qualifying School will consist of six events, with the first to be played ‘Down Under’ at the Mt Derrimut Golf & Community Club in Victoria from September 26-29, while the Soboba Springs Golf Club in California will host the next stop from November 7-10.

Thailand, which has such a strong association with the Qualifying School, will stage the ensuing events, at Grand Prix Golf Club, Kanchanaburi from December 12-15, and Pattana Sports Resort, Chonburi from December 19-22.

The final two First Stage qualifiers will be played simultaneously from January 9-12 at the Phoenix Gold Golf Bangkok and Grand Prix Golf Club.

Each event will be played over four rounds, with the top-placed finishers earning places in the Final Qualifying Stage to be played in Thailand from January 16-20. 

The top-35 will earn their cards for the 2024 Asian Tour season with the venue for the final qualifying stage to be announced in due course.

“The Asian Tour added a new Qualifying School site in the United States for the first time last year and we received immediate interest with the site filling up in a matter of days. It made complete sense to look at other regions from which we typically see a large number of entrants. Australia was the natural candidate,” said Cho Minn Thant , Commissioner and CEO, Asian Tour.

“A First Stage Qualifying event being played in Australia reflects increased interest in the Asian Tour and our need to broaden Qualifying School’s reach. It also demonstrates the strong bond we have always enjoyed with Australia’s talent pool year in and year out. This way we can help lessen the burden if travelling for Stage 1.”   

The Final Qualifying Stage will be played over five rounds. The top 140 players (and ties) after 36 holes will progress to rounds three and four. The top 70 players (and ties) after 72 holes will play in the decisive final round, which will be held on January 20. At the conclusion of 90 holes, the top 35 will be ranked accordingly for the 2024 season.

Many of the Asian Tour’s most successful golfers have ascended through the Qualifying School including Thailand’s Thongchai Jaidee (1999) and Kiradech Aphibarnrat (2009), Australian Scott Hend (2007), and American John Catlin (2018).

Asian Tour Qualifying School: Day Four

More changes at the top of the leaderboard at the Asian Tour Q School and good news for Englishman Ally Mellor who leads with Colombia's Eduardo Herrera

asian golf tour qualifying school

More changes at the top of the leaderboard at the Asian Tour Q School and good news for Englishman Ally Mellor .  The man from the Isle of Wight shot a 1 under par 72 to move into joint first place with Eduardo Herrera of Columbia and Daisuke Maruyama of Japan.  They are all 7 under for the tournament.

Meanwhile, John Parry of Harrogate who led after two rounds dropped down to tied 6th and the best move by a Brit came from Andrew Marshall from Sutton-in-Ashfield, a regular on the European Tour until this season, whose 69 shot him up to tied 9th.

Mellor’s progress has been the most impressive out in Thailand. "I was really consistent despite it being a lot windier today. I am quite happy with my performance. I've been here for two weeks since the First Stage. I am trying to play down the pressure and take it a step at a time. I'm still adjusting to the heat but I'm looking forward to tomorrow," said Mellor.

And there lies the problem for Europeans playing regularly in Asia – the temperature and the humidity.  I played two rounds in Singapore in November a couple of years ago and it was unbelievable. There were locals dressed in four layers of linen to keep out the sun and I was barely able to walk 18 holes in the thinnest golf shirt and shorts I could find.

Pinehurst No. 2

LIV Golf has devised a qualifying tournament and relegation system that will come into play for the 2024 season

1437735563

Patrick Smith/LIV Golf

MAYAKOBA, Mexico — LIV Golf has revealed the format of qualifying school for its 2024 season, with major champions from the past five years, as well as winners of PGA Tour and DP World Tour events in the 12 months prior, among those given exemptions to bypass the first of four rounds.

The 72-hole stroke-play qualifier, called the “LIV Golf Promotions Event,” will be held sometime in November after the LIV Golf League’s second season finishes in Saudi Arabia on Nov. 5.

“The LIV Golf Promotions Event will ensure there is an open player pathway for golfers from across the ecosystem to gain exemption into the LIV Golf League,” LIV officials wrote in materials seen by Golf Digest.

MORE: LIV golfers can still play in the majors, but the number of those eligible might surprise you

Three spots on LIV’s 48-player roster for the 2024 season are up for grabs at the promotion tournament, while the winner of the money list from the Asian Tour’s International Series will bypass the qualifying school and take a fourth promotion spot. With three top-10s in as many starts, including a victory last week, American Andy Ogletree currently leads the International Series money list. LIV Golf partnered with the Asian Tour last year with a $300 million investment that also created the lucrative International Series.

In exchange, four LIV golfers will be relegated following the 2023 regular season. They will be the bottom four players on LIV’s individual points list from the regular season who are not already exempt (under a multi-year contract).

According to LIV Golf, this is how qualifying will work:

The qualifying tournament will begin with an 18-hole Round 1 and have a field comprised of these players: those who finished between Nos. 6-32 of the Asian Tour’s International Series rankings; winners of a variety of top amateur events such as the U.S. and British Amateur championship; entries from players inside the top 200 on the Official World Golf Ranking; and entries from the top 20 on the World Amateur Golf Rankings. The top 20 players and ties advance to the second round.

With scores re-set, the second 18-hole round is where established players and stars from the major tours, as well as the four relegations from LIV’s previous season, will come in. Among those eligible to enter Round 2 are winners of the following tournaments since 2018: the Open Championship, U.S. Open, Masters, PGA Championship and members of teams from the 2023 Ryder Cup and 2022 Presidents Cup. In addition, golfers who finished at Nos. 2-5 of the International Series ranks will be eligible to enter this round.

The top 16 players from Round 2 qualify for the re-set 36-hole final that is Rounds 3 and 4. The top three finishers from there will be given full playing rights for following season on LIV Golf.

LIV’s qualifying school will work in concert with LIV’s relegation system. LIV will have a season-long points standings that awards massive bonuses to the top three finishers (first gets $18 million), but also defines the top 24 who keep their LIV status for the following season if their contract is up at the end of this season. Points are awarded based on a player’s finish at each of LIV’s 13 regular series events, with 40 points given to the winner of that tournament and points regress until 24th place receives one point (there is a tiebreaker for shared finishes).

For players who finish between 25th and 44th in the season standings, they will be put go into a “transfer market” in which other teams may pick them up. Finishers 45-48 will be relegated, although if some of those players are under multi-year contracts, LIV would have to reach higher up in the standings to find the four worst finishers not already exempt.

LIV’s qualifying school categories and format outlined:

Exemption Categories

The following categories will be exempt into the LIV Golf Promotions event at the stage outlined below:

  • Players finishing in positions 2-32 of the 2023 International Series Rankings

All 24 Aussies teeing it up at Asian Tour Q School

asian golf tour qualifying school

Two of this season’s ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia tournament winners are among the 24 Australians teeing it up across two venues of Asian Tour Qualifying School in Thailand starting Wednesday.

Starved of international Q School opportunities amidst the travel restrictions imposed globally the past three years, veterans, rookies and rising amateurs will put their games on the line for the right to play in Final Stage next week and potentially earn a 2023 Asian Tour card.

Led by West Australian Hayden Hopewell, five Aussies advanced to Final Stage last week from Section C and there are seven Aussies and two Kiwis at Section D at Thana City Country Club and there are 17 Aussies and two more New Zealanders competing in Section E at Springfield Royal Country Club.

Among the Aussie contingent are current season champions Tom Power Horan ( pictured, left ) and Aaron Wilkin ( pictured, right ).

Ahead of the resumption of the 2022/2023 season with TPS Victoria from January 26, Power Horan and Wilkin are both seeking to advance their careers on to the international stage.

Power Horan won a second Gippsland Super 6 title prior to the Christmas break while Wilkin’s maiden Tour win came with a playoff triumph at the Queensland PGA Championship at Nudgee.

Riding the confidence of a second Portsea Pro-Am win just last week, Peter Wilson is chasing a return to tournament play in Asia as is fellow Victorian James Marchesani, who had three top-five finishes on the PGA China Tour in 2019.

Other Aussies looking to take the step onto the global stage include John Lyras, Blake Collyer, Brett Rankin, Matias Sanchez, Charlie Dann and Doug Klein while Dylan Perry is hoping to add to the Japan Golf Tour card he regained at Q School in December.

A three-time winner on the PGA China Tour in 2018, Nick Voke leads the Kiwi charge which includes 2022 Australian Amateur runner-up and world No.49 amateur James Hydes.

A disturbing new problem is sweeping American schools: Students are using artificial intelligence to create sexually explicit images of their classmates and then share them without the person depicted even knowing.

Natasha Singer, who covers technology, business and society for The Times, discusses the rise of deepfake nudes and one girl’s fight to stop them.
