It's getting towards that time of year again when professional golfers face immense pressure as they look to secure a place on the DP World Tour for 2027 during the Final Stage of Qualifying School at INFINITUM on Spain's Costa Dorada.
From November 6-11, 156 players will compete for one of just 15 coveted cards for the 2027 season.
Now in its eighth year at INFINITUM, this year’s Final Stage will see players contest six rounds across 108 holes, with a cut after 72 holes trimming the field ahead of a decisive closing 36 holes. The resort has hosted Final Stage every year since 2017, aside from a two-year pause during the pandemic, and a three-year agreement signed in November 2024 secures its position as host through to 2027.
The Costa Dorada has produced some memorable finishes in recent years. Last November, South Africa’s Zander Lombard set a new INFINITUM Q School record, closing out a remarkable 13-shot victory at 37-under-par to secure his card for the 2026 season. In doing so, he followed Edoardo Molinari (2024), Freddy Schott (2023) and Simon Forsström (2022) in earning a place on the DP World Tour with victory at the resort.
Players will once again be tested across two of INFINITUM’s championship layouts: the Greg Norman-designed Lakes course and the Alfonso Vidaor-designed Hills, which has recently undergone a multi-million-euro, two-phase renovation led by Dave Sampson of European Golf Design.
Highlights of the newly completed Hills renovation include a reimagined opening hole and a dramatic island-green-style 18th set against a striking quarry backdrop, while drought-resistant grasses on the fairways reduce water use across the course.
The decisive closing 36 holes will be played on the Lakes course, which itself completed a €1.5 million renovation in 2024.
Joaquín Mora Bertrán, Deputy General Manager at INFINITUM, said: "Hosting Final Stage for an eighth consecutive year is a huge source of pride for everyone at INFINITUM. It comes at a particularly special moment, with players set to experience the newly renovated Hills course in tournament conditions for the very first time. We know how much this week means to the players competing for their cards, and we can't wait to welcome them to INFINITUM."
Gary Butler, DP World Tour Qualifying School Director, said: "INFINITUM has become synonymous with Final Stage, and its consistency as a venue is a huge asset to Qualifying School. With two outstanding courses and a real test of golf across six rounds, it’s the perfect stage for players to earn their DP World Tour card for 2027."
Golf remains at the heart of the INFINITUM experience, with the Lakes, Hills and nine-hole Ruins course offering 45 holes of championship golf. Beyond the fairways, the resort is renowned for its award-winning Beach Club and collection of premium real estate, while its idyllic Mediterranean coastline setting makes it one of Europe’s most sought-after golf and lifestyle destinations.
