Overview
- The four-day event runs January 8–11 at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida, offering a $1.5 million purse, three full‑season wild cards, and 2026 International Series exemptions for the top‑10 and ties.
- The format features 72 holes with score resets after Rounds 1 and 2, top‑20 and ties advancing each time, and Round 3 scores carrying into Round 4 with playoffs to break ties.
- Reported entries range from about 83 to 87 players representing 23–24 countries, with names such as John Catlin, Ollie Schniederjans, Chris Wood, Alex Levy, Anthony Kim, and Pablo Ereno.
- Miguel Tabuena opted for Promotions over PGA Q‑School, secured a Round‑2 bye via his International Series standing, and says the structure gives him a better shot at a league spot.
- Under PGA Tour policy, competing in the unauthorized event triggers a one‑year ineligibility for PGA‑sanctioned tournaments, a restriction Tabuena acknowledges could delay a Q‑School bid by up to two seasons.
