The PGA Tour Q-school is the only chance for the golfers to earn the Tour card. The top five and ties on the 2024 PGA Tour Q-school final qualifying will earn full status on the PGA Tour next season and the remaining golfers on the leaderboard will find a place at the Korn Ferry Tour or the PGA Tour Americas based on their positions on the qualifying tournament.
