The European Tour Qualifying School is an annual golf tournament which enables professional golfers to gain a place on the European Tour and its official development tour, the Challenge Tour.
The European Tour Qualifying School is held in three stages, with the final stage being played over six rounds at PGA Golf Catalunya in Spain. The top 25 players win their card on the European Tour, and those finishing outside the top 25 gain a place on the Challenge Tour, with those making the cut being ranked in a higher exemption category.
