English duo Tom Lewis and Ben Schmidt, Ryder Cup Europe vice captain Edoardo Molinari and Scotland’s Ryan Lumsden are among the 20 players to have secured DP World Tour cards for 2027 via Q-School.
England’s Lewis, who secured his place in the field by winning a play-off at the second stage earlier this month to earn alternate status, finished tied for fourth alongside Ivan Cantero.
Scotland’s Lumsden carded a third 68 of the week over the lakes course to earn his DP World Tour card for the first time, and England’s Schmidt earned his playing rights for the second time in three years.
Spaniards Jose Luis Ballester and Rocco Repetto Taylor shared victory at the final stage of DP World Tour Qualifying School.
Seven players – Cameron John, Dabid Nyfjall, Lumsden, Paul Beauvy, Jansen Preston, Philipp Katich and Matteo Cristoni – will be DP World Tour rookies in the 2027 season.
Molinari is the oldest of the class of 2026 graduates at 45, with France’s Paul Beauvy the youngest at 23.
Germany’s Philipp Katich shot a bogey-free 62 and only made Monday’s 72-hole cut on the number.
“I really didn’t think I had a chance today,” said Katich.
“I actually can’t believe it. It was a big goal of mine to play in Australia [at the start of the season], now I can play the whole season on the DP World Tour which is even better.”
