At the LPGA Q-School, top international players battle over 90 holes of stroke play for just 25 tour cards — five Germans are in the mix.
When the final stage of LPGA Q-School kicks off at Magnolia Grove Golf Club in Mobile, Alabama, it’s all or nothing for many players. Over five grueling rounds, only the top 25 and ties will earn the coveted LPGA Tour card. The field is stacked with experienced German pros and rising international stars.
German hopes: Experience meets emerging talent
Germany’s contingent blends tour experience, breakthrough potential, and youthful promise.
Sophie Hausmann arrives with momentum. Three top-10s on the Epson Tour, a victory in the U.S. Women’s Open qualifier, and a major championship appearance highlight her season. With 13 cuts made in 20 Epson Tour starts, she’s one of Germany’s most consistent players and a strong contender for a tour card.
Isi Gabsa, a seasoned pro at 30, also qualified for the U.S. Women’s Open. On the Epson Tour, she made 16 cuts in 19 starts, including one top-10 and four top-20 finishes. Her consistency could be a key asset in the Q-School marathon.
Polly Mack knows the path to the LPGA. She earned her card in 2023 with a T15 finish at Q-School. This season, she made the cut in a third of her LPGA starts and impressed on the LET with a top-10 in Korea and a 12th-place finish in Houston.
Jordan Fischer is transitioning from college golf to the professional stage. Recently turning pro, she enters Q-School with little experience at this level. Whether she can make the leap in this 90-hole test remains to be seen.
Helen Briem is one of Europe’s brightest young talents. Ranked 9th on the LET Order of Merit, she has seven top-10 finishes this season and heads to Alabama full of confidence.
