Players from all over the world have started their journey into the PGA Tour National Qualifying Tournament - otherwise known as Q-School.  The goal...advance through as many as four tournaments to earn a PGA Tour card for the 2012 season.

The first three stages - pre-qualifying, first stage and second stage - consist of 72-hole tournaments. The pre-qualifying stage, which is for players with no prior history of competition, took place in mid-September.

Business gets serious with the opening of the first stage; which is held on 13 different courses across the country in mid-October.  A predetermined number of players from each first stage event advance to one of the six second-stage venues in mid-November.  The second-stage survivors then move on to the all-important final stage at PGA WEST in LaQuinta, California.  The final stage, held November 30 - December 5, will challenge the best-of-the-best over six straight days of intense golf.

Every player who reaches the final stage will receive some degree of status on the Nationwide Tour, but (in the end) the real prize is to finish in the top 25.  ONLY the low 25 and ties are exempt on the PGA TOUR for next year.
