These four golfers advanced to the Puerto Rico Open from the final Monday qualifier
These four golfers advanced to the Puerto Rico Open from the final Monday qualifier The slow dissolution of the Monday qualifiers on the PGA Tour continues. On Monday, the final Monday Q for the Puerto Rico Open was held at Wellington National Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, and conducted the PGA South Florida Section and there were four golfers out of the 81 who posted a number who advanced. Connor Creasy shot 9-under 63 to win the qualifier at Wellington National. He had four birdies on the front and five on the back, including on four of his last five holes to finish two shots better than Chris Korte, who carded eight birdies and one bogey. Two golfers – Dawson Jones and Maxwell Sear – each posted 6-under 66s to claim the third and fourth spots. Jones survived a triple-bogey 8 on the par-5 sixth hole thanks to nine total birdies. Sear was bogey-free with six birdies. There was no need for a playoff at this qualifier. Notables who failed to advance to the Grand Reserve Golf Club in Puerto Rico include Ted Potter Jr., John Augenstein, Daniel Wetterich, Jeff Overton, Michael Gligic, Angus Flanagan, James Piot and amateur Miles Russell. There are seven PGA Tour events in all that are waving goodbye to their Monday qualifiers after this year. The previous ones held were for the Sony Open in Hawaii, the WM Phoenix Open and the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches. The next in line are for the Puerto Rico Open, the Corales Puntacana Championship and the Myrtle Beach Championship. All three of those tournaments are opposite-field events. The change in policy relates to field size. The seven tournaments in 2026 that will have no Monday qualifiers will be reduced to 120 players. There are three events – the Valspar Championship, the Texas Children's Houston Open and the Valero Texas Open – that are being reduced to 132 and those three will still have a Monday qualifier but for two spots, not four as before.
