A pair of British Columbians came close but missed out on earning exempt status at last week’s PGA Tour Americas qualifying school in Prince Edward Island.
That means Kimberley’s Jared du Toit and Chris Crisologo of Richmond will be on the outside looking in when the PGA Tour Americas circuit begins its North American swing with this week’s Explore NB Open in Fredericton...
The top 11 players at the Q-school in Woodstock, PEI earned exempt status and it took a 72-hole score of four-under or better to graduate. Du Toit missed by a single shot, finishing in a tie for 12th spot at three-under.
Crisologo was two shots shy of the magic number and tied for 15th. They both received conditional status, but that is unlikely to get them into any events early in the season. Du Toit is listed as the seventh alternate in the New Brunswick season-opener and is entered in the event’s Monday open qualifier.
Coquitlam’s A.J. Ewart is the lone British Columbian currently fully exempt for the North American swing, which includes nine Canadian events and one tournament in Minnesota. Ewart, who won last year's Elk Ridge Saskatchewan Open, currently stands 13th on the Fortinet Cup points list after playing well in the tour’s six-event swing through South America and Mexico.
Most recently, Ewart tee'd it up at the Explore NB Open that followed the Q-School and missed the cut by one after posting 69,70 (-3) at the Mactaquac Golf Course in Fredericton, NB.
The top 10 players on the points list at the end of the season earn full Korn Ferry Tour status for 2026. Those cards will be handed out following the season-ending Fortinet Cup Championship, which goes Sept. 25-28 at Morgan Creek Golf Golf in Surrey.
