German hopefuls Rosenmüller and Paul fall short as five players secure PGA Tour cards at the Q-School Final Stage in Florida.
The Final Stage of the PGA Tour Q-School presented by the Korn Ferry Tour took place from December 11 to 14, 2025, at Dye’s Valley Course and TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. With only five PGA Tour cards available due to a format change, the competition was fiercer than ever.
After four grueling rounds with no cut, five players emerged with full PGA Tour status. Canadian A.J. Stewart topped the leaderboard with rounds of 66-67-67-66, totaling 266 strokes and 14 under par. The 26-year-old had already shown promise earlier in 2025 on the PGA Tour Americas, recording ten top-ten finishes, a runner-up, and seven top-25s.
A.J. Stewart: ‘I came here to win’
“I came here to win a golf tournament,” Stewart said after his victory. “It wasn’t just about finishing top five or top 25. I wanted to prepare to win. It feels amazing to have done it. It’s like the saying goes: ‘Aim small, miss small.’ I try to approach every tournament with the mindset of winning. If you set your goals too low, you won’t reach your full potential.”
Joining Stewart on the PGA Tour are fellow Canadian Adam Svensson, Argentina’s Alejandro Tosti, and Colombia’s Marcelo Rozo, all finishing tied for second at 12 under par. Svensson, 31, is no stranger to the PGA Tour, having played 159 events since 2019 and winning the RSM Classic in 2022.
Playoff drama for final PGA Tour card
The final PGA Tour card was decided in a playoff between Canada’s Ben Silverman and American Dylan Wu, both finishing at 11 under. Wu clinched the last spot with a birdie on the first playoff hole.
Germany’s Thomas Rosenmüller and Jeremy Paul came up short. Rosenmüller finished T20 at seven under par, while Paul struggled throughout the event and ended T139 at seven over. His only bright moment came on Friday with a 67, but it wasn’t enough to climb the leaderboard.
