The Final Stage of the DP World Tour’s mammoth Qualifying School is finally over.

The 108-hole marathon started last Friday and has come to a gut-wrenching close after Wednesday’s finale was postponed due to severe weather in the Tarragona area of Spain.

Only the top 20 and ties from a 156 player field secured full tour cards for the 2025 season, so there was elation, relief, despair and heartbreak across the INFITIUM resort on Thursday.

Edoardo Molinari, a three-time DP World Tour winner and Luke Donald’s invaluable Ryder Cup assistant, earned his playing rights straight back after a disappointing season in 2024.

The Italian veteran won the six-round shootout by one shot at 29-under-par.

It was a brutal ending, however, for two Brits in Tarragona.

Eddie Pepperell missed out on his card in excruciating circumstances. The popular Englishman was hovering in and around the top-20 throughout his final round, but missed an eagle putt on the 18th which left him one shot short of the mark. A double bogey on the 15th derailed Pepperell’s hopes.

Pepperell will still be in line for some starts in 2025, but has now lost his fully exempt status.

Scotland’s David Law also finished one shot shy after a final round 68.

Other notable players who missed out on full membership for next season included tour winners Stephen Gallagher, Marc Warren and Chris Wood.

Here are the 21 players who have just secured their DP World Tour status for 2025…
