At the LPGA Q-School, top international players compete over 90 holes of stroke play for just 25 coveted tour cards.
When the final stage of the LPGA Q-School tees off at Magnolia Grove Golf Club in Mobile, Alabama, it’s all or nothing for many players. Over five grueling days and 90 holes of stroke play, only the top 25 and ties will earn their LPGA Tour card. The field is stacked with experienced German pros and rising international stars.
German Contenders: Experience Meets Ambition
Germany sends a diverse group of players combining tour experience, breakthrough potential, and raw talent.
Sophie Hausmann arrives in form, with three top-10 finishes on the Epson Tour, a win at the US Women’s Open qualifier, and a solid major appearance. With 13 cuts made in 20 Epson Tour starts, she’s among Germany’s most consistent players and a strong candidate for a tour card.
Isi Gabsa, a seasoned pro since 2023, also qualified for the US Women’s Open. Her 2025 Epson Tour season includes 16 cuts in 19 starts, one top-10, and four top-20 finishes. Her consistency could be key in this marathon Q-School.
Polly Mack earned her LPGA card in 2023 (T15) and made the cut in a third of her LPGA starts this season. She also 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 pro ranks. Recently turning pro, she enters Q-School as a relative newcomer to elite competition. Whether she can adapt to the 90-hole pressure remains to be seen.
Helen Briem, one of Europe’s top young talents, currently ranks 9th on the LET Order of Merit with seven top-10 finishes this season. She heads to Alabama with confidence and momentum.
Austria’s Emma Spitz Eyes the LPGA
Austria’s Emma Spitz, 25, is another strong contender. Ranked 19th on the LET Order of Merit, she boasts five top-10s this season, including a third-place finish at the Tenerife Open.
