Ewart Medals, Wu Wins Playoff as Five Earn 2026 PGA Tour Cards at Q-School

A rules overhaul that ended ties for cards turned the final berth into a sudden-death playoff.

Overview

  • Canadian A.J. Ewart won medalist honors at 14 under, with Adam Svensson, Alejandro Tosti and Marcelo Rozo sharing second at 12 under.
  • Dylan Wu claimed the fifth card by defeating Ben Silverman on the first extra hole at Dye’s Valley’s 18th with a 20-foot birdie.
  • This Final Stage was the first under new rules awarding only five PGA Tour cards with no ties, alongside broader changes cutting full cards to 100 and Korn Ferry promotions to 20.
  • Players outside the top five received developmental status, with the top 40 and ties earning guaranteed Korn Ferry Tour starts for 2026.
  • The week highlighted the pressure and procedural strains, including Norman Xiong’s disqualification for missing a tee time, multiple withdrawals, and an earlier second-stage site that reverted to 54-hole scores after a weather cancellation.
