Full list of golfers qualified for Q-school including 3 LIV Golf exiles
Josele Ballester claimed his DP World Tour card for 2027

After successfully securing their spots through Q-School, three former LIV Golf players have earned another opportunity to compete on the DP World Tour.

Former LIV Golf stars Josele Ballester, Byeong Hun An, and John Catlin earned their tour cards by finishing inside the top 15 and tied at Infinitum Golf in Tarragona, Spain. Ballester achieved co-medalist honors and, alongside An, was among just 14 players to post scores in the 60s across all six rounds.

Arriving in his home country as one of Europe's most promising prospects, Ballester built on his momentum after advancing from the first stage of Q-School in early September.

Having moved on from LIV Golf as the circuit is in decline, the Spanish golfer secured full playing rights for the upcoming DP World Tour season on home soil by delivering a 32-under-par performance over six rounds.

"It's super exciting and I am super proud of the job that myself and my caddie did throughout the week," said Ballester, a winner on the Asian Tour and a former U.S. Amateur champion.

"I've been fortunate to compete on the DP World Tour before and have done all right. I know I can do much better than what I have already but I am excited to have that full year, that full calendar to again prove to myself what I am capable of."

Repetto Taylor added: "I think all the pressure that I didn't feel during the week, I felt today.

"I hit some crazy shots and just to be able to bounce back from those bad swings, it feels so so good. I feel like I am getting to a stage [of his career] where I can take more and more, handle those moments of pressure as best I can.

"I am very excited to get back on the DP World Tour and see what I have learned."

The race was tight, evidenced by players like Thomas Schmidt and David Lundgren finishing at 24-under-par and missing out on a card by a single stroke.

In third place was Cameron John. Tipped for a bright future in Europe, John secured his third-place finish after establishing a strong reputation back home in Australia, highlighted by four victories over a two-year stretch on the PGA Tour of Australasia.

All players earned category 18 status, which is a conditional membership category that provides limited playing privileges near the bottom of the tour's priority access list.
