Dp world tour q-school – 2022 first stage preview & results.

8th October 2022 – Updated

I am following all of the amateur players as well as the Great British & Irish professionals  through the 2022 DP World Tour Qualifying School series.

Qualifying School was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic so makes a welcome return this year. Entries closed on 17th August 2022.

In November 2021 the European Tour was renamed as the DP World Tour.

As in previous years Q-School will consist of three stages, First, Second and Final. More information on the 2022 Qualifying School can be found in the Appendix at the end of this article.

This article covers FIRST STAGE QUALIFYING which started on 30th August and ended on 8th October 2022. Additional articles will be written for the  SECOND STAGE and FINAL STAGE in due course.

Final Stage will be played at Infinitum, previously known as Lumine Golf Club, on 11th – 16th November where 156 players will battle over six rounds for a top 25 and ties finish and a place on the DP World Tour for the 2023 season.

FIRST STAGE

First Stage consisted of nine 72 hole stroke play qualifying events split into six Sections, A, B, C, D, E and F.

Each event had a 54 hole cut where only players within 7-shots of the final qualifying place at that point contested the final round.

Here are a summary of the results focussing on the players I am interested in: –

THE 2022 DP WORLD TOUR QUALIFYING SCHOOL SERIES

The DP World Tour (previously known as the European Tour) Qualifying School was first played in 1976, four years after the European Tour was founded. What started out as a 72 hole test has grown into potentially a 252 hole marathon.

Nowadays there are three stages of stroke play qualifying; First, Second and Final.

The 2022 European Tour Q-School entrance fee is £2,000 (2019: £1,800).

Male amateur golfers with a handicap below 0.4 (i.e. scratch) and who have appeared in positions 1-2,000 of the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) in 2022 can enter.

Some entrants are exempted straight into Second Stage or Final Stage based on their past results and ranking.

From an amateur perspective the leading 5 entrants to First Stage as at 17th August 2022 to a limit of 20th place in the WAGR are fast-tracked straight into Second Stage.

First Stage consists of nine 72 hole stroke play qualifying events split into six Sections, A, B, C, D, E and F.

Around 20% of each field, normally 15-30 players, progress from each event. The actual number of places are confirmed after all the players have teed off on Day 1 of each qualifier.

A 54-hole cut, where players need to be within 7 shots of the final allocated qualifying place, reduces the field for the final round. Ties for the final qualifying place at the end of play proceed too.

SECOND STAGE

The Second Qualifying Stage consists of four separate 72-hole events.

There is no cut.

The actual number of places available for Final Stage are again confirmed after all of the players have teed off on Day 1 of each event. Sudden death play-offs are held to resolve ties at this Stage.

3rd – 6th November 2022

ALENDA GOLF, ALICANTE, SPAIN

EMPORDÀ GOLF, GIRONA, SPAIN

 – Emporia has been added to the schedule for the first time since hosting Final Stage in 2000, 2002 and 2003.

DESERT SPRINGS RESORT, ALMERIA, SPAIN

LAS COLINAS GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB, ALICANTE, SPAIN

FINAL STAGE

The Final Qualifying Stage consists of 108 holes on the Lakes and Hills Courses at Infinitum, previously known as Lumine GC, in Tarragona, Spain. Infinitum / Lumine replaced PGA Catalunya Resort in 2017 and will be hosting Final Stage for the third time this year.

The Tour has entered a new 3 year contract, covering 2022-24, with the Spanish venue to stage the Finals.

156 players will play two rounds over each of the Lakes and Hills Courses. After these 72 holes the field will be cut to the leading 70 players and ties who will play a final 36 holes.

The leading 25 players (plus those tied for 25th place) in the Final Stage competition will earn Full Membership of The DP World Tour (and Challenge Tour) for the 2023 season. On average between 2014-19 the medalist has received 27 European Tour starts whilst the 25th qualifier has garnered 18.

Those who make the 72 hole cut but finish outside the Top 25 will also earn a membership category, albeit a lower one, on the DP World Tour (and Challenge Tour).

Players who miss the cut will be eligible for membership of the Challenge Tour.

Every player is ranked according to their finishing score, card count backs assisting in this process, and this ranking matters when it comes to future playing opportunities.

11th – 16th November 2022

INFINITUM, TARRAGONA, SPAIN

2022 LET Q-School comes to an end

A total of 23 players, from 14 countries, secured full 2022 Ladies European Tour category 11 membership after five rounds of Final Qualifying

American Gabriella Then produced a blistering final round of 67, six-under-par, to win the Final Qualifier at LET Q-School by four shots.

The 26-year-old has spent two weeks at La Manga Club getting to know the North and South Courses as she came through Pre-Qualifying in a tie for 10 th place.

The USC graduate had a consistent week in the Final Qualifier with rounds of 70 (-1), 73 (E), 68 (-3) and 71 (-2) to put herself on six-under-par and in a share of third place heading into the final round on the South Course.  

It was a hot start for the American with three birdies in four holes on her front nine and she continued that form with three more birdies on the back nine to seal the victory.

The 2011 PING Junior Solheim Cup winner said:

“I was just taking it one shot at a time, so I had no idea where I stood, and I was very surprised.

“I had some really good moments on the front nine. I gave myself a lot of great birdie chances and was keeping it steady, and on the back nine when the wind picked up, I kept playing my shots and giving myself chances.”

Then stopped playing golf in August 2019 after failing to make it through the first stage of LPGA Tour Q-Series but decided to pick up a golf club at the start of 2021 and has restarted her professional career.

She continued:

“It feels amazing, I can’t believe that this is happening right now! This is my first time playing in Spain and playing in Europe, so I’m excited for next year.”

Pettersson's qualifying form continued

Sweden’s Lisa Pettersson, who finished top of Pre-Qualifying last week , grabbed second place on eight-under-par having shot rounds of 73, 71, 67, 70 and 72 this week. The 26-year-old said:

“I’m very happy and tired, it’s been two very long weeks. I didn’t know what to expect coming in, I’ve never played on the LET so I didn’t know what the competition was going to be like.

“After last week I had some expectation on my game. I tried to go out and not look at the leaderboard and take one shot at a time and it worked. I came here with the goal of securing a card so I’m very happy with it, I’m super excited to be playing on the LET next year.”

France’s Agathe Laisne ended the tournament in third place on seven-under-par having shot a final round of 72 (-1).

The two-time LET Access Series winner said:

“I’m very happy, it feels like a Christmas gift, I’m very proud of myself as the good work with my team paid off, so I’ll definitely enjoy the holidays.”

France’s Manon Gidali and over-night leader England’s Meghan MacLaren finished in a share of fourth place on five-under-par with Czech amateur Sara Kouskova in sixth.

One shot further back was Sweden’s Linn Grant and Germany’s Sophie Hausmann were T7 with Spaniard Paz Marfa Sans, Wales’ Becky Brewerton and Switzerland’s Anais Maggetti rounding out the top 10.

LPGA and LET members for 2022

It’s worth noting that Linn Grant from Helsingborg and Agathe Laisne from Paris, both 22-years-old are now members of the LPGA and LET for 2022. A pretty impressive feat in their first year as a professional!

Talk about a grind: Linn Grant and Agathe Laisne earned both their @LPGA and @LETgolf cards in the last three weeks. They played 13 competitive rounds, on 5 different courses, in two countries, almost 5,000 miles apart, and all in 18 days. That's pretty impressive stuff. — Monday Q Info (@acaseofthegolf1) December 20, 2021

German amateur Sophie Witt finished 12 th alongside Spain’s Marta Sanz Barrio and Finland’s Emily Penttila, with Elena Hualde (Spain), Charlotte Liautier (France), Ines Laklalech (Morocco) and Hazel MacGarvie (Scotland) in T15 on level-par.

Italy’s Virginia Elena Carta ended the tournament on one-over-par as did Germany’s Leticia Ras-Anderica, France’s Anne-Charlotte Mora, Sweden’s Josefine Nyqvist and Scotland’s Laura Beveridge.

A total of 23 players secured Category 11 membership for 2022 while 28 players clinched Category 15 membership.

DP World Tour announces Qualifying School venues for 2022

3.31pm 21st April 2022 - Course Development

The DP World Tour Qualifying School is to return for the first time in three years in 2022, with a schedule which includes six new venues and a return to INFINITUM , venue for this week’s ISPS Handa Championship in Spain, for its dramatic finale.

Following three successful editions of the Final Stage at INFINITUM, one of Europe’s premier golf and leisure facilities, the stunning resort in Spain’s Catalonia region will play host to the Qualifying School finale for the next three years following an extended agreement with the DP World Tour.

Hopefuls from across the globe will be given the opportunity to compete for a spot on the DP World Tour in 2023, through the three stages of the famous Qualifying School.

The Qualifying School will break new ground in 2022 by visiting Australia for the first time with a maiden visit to Rosebud Country Club in Victoria, while five further new venues in Europe have been added to the schedule.

Rosebud Country Club , Portugal’s Montado Hotel & Golf Resort and Denmark’s Lyngbygaard Golf will all make their long-awaited debuts in 2022 after the Qualifying School was cancelled in the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

English venue Mottram Hall and Haugschlag , in Austria, will also make their Qualifying School bows in 2022, while Empordà Golf, in Spain, has also been added to the schedule for the first time since hosting Final Stage in 2003, 2002 and 2000.

The DP World Tour Qualifying School will visit 14 venues from August to November and gives players – professional and amateur – the opportunity to earn their place on Europe’s top tier for the 2023 season.

The five venues making their Qualifying School debuts will all act as First Stage venues, with Rosebud Country Club making history as the first Australian venue to hold a Qualifying School event. First Stage will take place across nine venues in total, including returning locations in England, France, Italy and Sweden.

Empordà Golf , which is located in Girona and hosts the Empordà Challenge on the European Challenge Tour, returns to the DP World Tour Qualifying School schedule as a Second Stage setting, along with three other Spanish venues; Alenda Golf , Desert Springs Resort and Las Colinas Golf & Country Club.

Mike Stewart, DP World Tour Qualifying School Director, said: “We are delighted to welcome all six new venues to the DP World Tour Qualifying School family. Each and every venue on our Schedule is worthy of hosting the Qualifying School and will provide our players with the true test they need to prove they have what it takes to capture a DP World Tour card for the 2023 season.

“As a global Tour, we are thrilled to be able to host a First Stage event in Australia at Rosebud Country Club. DP World Tour Qualifying School gives an opportunity to professionals and amateurs alike to achieve their dream of earning a DP World Tour card and to extend the opportunity to players in the Asia-Pacific region is an exciting development.

“We are looking forward to returning to INFINITUM, with whom we have enjoyed a long and successful partnership, for at least the next three years and we are excited to experience the improvements they have made to both the golf courses and the venue as they enter this new chapter.”

Agustin Garcia Pascual, chief business officer at INFINITUM, said: “We have built a strong and successful relationship with the DP World Tour and are delighted to welcome back the Final Stage of Qualifying School in 2022. Signing a three-year partnership affirms our commitment to Qualifying School and will allow us to showcase the developments we have made at INFINITUM as we look to start a new chapter and build on the success of hosting the event from 2017 to 2019.

“Our Hills and Lakes layouts – the latter of which is playing host to this week’s ISPS Handa Championship in Spain – will provide a fitting finale, as well as a stern test, for Qualifying School hopefuls and we look forward to six days of fantastic golf later this year.”

The three-stage competition culminates at INFINITUM from November 11-16, 2022, where 156 players will compete over six rounds in a bid to fulfil their DP World Tour dreams.

Hopefuls from across the globe will be given the opportunity to compete for a spot on the DP World Tour in 2023, through the three stages of the famous Qualifying School.

The Qualifying School will break new ground in 2022 by visiting Australia for the first time with a maiden visit to Rosebud Country Club in Victoria, while five further new venues in Europe have been added to the schedule.

Rosebud Country Club, Portugal’s Montado Hotel & Golf Resort and Denmark’s Lyngbygaard Golf will all make their long-awaited debuts in 2022 after the Qualifying School was cancelled in the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic

English venue Mottram Hall and Haugschlag, in Austria, will also make their Qualifying School bows in 2022, while Empordà Golf, in Spain, has also been added to the schedule for the first time since hosting Final Stage in 2003, 2002 and 2000.

The DP World Tour Qualifying School will visit 14 venues from August to November and gives players – professional and amateur – the opportunity to earn their place on Europe’s top tier for the 2023 season.

The five venues making their Qualifying School debuts will all act as First Stage venues, with Rosebud Country Club making history as the first Australian venue to hold a Qualifying School event. First Stage will take place across nine venues in total, including returning locations in England, France, Italy and Sweden.

Empordà Golf, which is located in Girona and hosts the Empordà Challenge on the European Challenge Tour, returns to the DP World Tour Qualifying School schedule as a Second Stage setting, along with three other Spanish venues; Alenda Golf, Desert Springs Resort and Las Colinas Golf & Country Club.

Mike Stewart, DP World Tour Qualifying School Director, said : “We are delighted to welcome all six new venues to the DP World Tour Qualifying School family.

“Each and every venue on our Schedule is worthy of hosting the Qualifying School and will provide our players with the true test they need to prove they have what it takes to capture a DP World Tour card for the 2023 season.

“As a global Tour, we are thrilled to be able to host a First Stage event in Australia at Rosebud Country Club. DP World Tour Qualifying School gives an opportunity to professionals and amateurs alike to achieve their dream of earning a DP World Tour card and to extend the opportunity to players in the Asia-Pacific region is an exciting development.

“We are looking forward to returning to INFINITUM, with whom we have enjoyed a long and successful partnership, for at least the next three years and we are excited to experience the improvements they have made to both the golf courses and the venue as they enter this new chapter.”

Agustín García Pascual, chief business officer at INFINITUM, said : “We have built a strong and successful relationship with the DP World Tour and are delighted to welcome back the Final Stage of Qualifying School in 2022. Signing a three-year partnership affirms our commitment to Qualifying School and will allow us to showcase the developments we have made at INFINITUM as we look to start a new chapter and build on the success of hosting the event from 2017 to 2019.

“Our Hills and Lakes layouts – the latter of which is playing host to this week’s ISPS Handa Championship in Spain – will provide a fitting finale, as well as a stern test, for Qualifying School hopefuls and we look forward to six days of fantastic golf later this year.”

The three-stage competition culminates at INFINITUM from November 11-16, 2022, where 156 players will compete over six rounds in a bid to fulfil their DP World Tour dreams.

Entries for the DP World Tour Qualifying School will open in June. For further details please contact the Entries Department  [email protected] .

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you. For more information, read our guide about staying safe in Russia .
