Q-School contests

The Minor League Golf Tour Q-School contests give players the opportunity to earn PGA, Web.com, or Champions Tour status by winning events that create a similar atmosphere to Qualifying School. In April 2009 The Minor League Golf Tour offered to pay the entry to PGA Tour Qualifying School to the leading money winner of a series of events. Brett Bergeron and Justin Peters won the 2009 contests, with Peters going on to earn conditional Nationwide Tour status for 2010. Justin Peters has a tour record 28 victories. The contest winners for 2010 included golf instructor Jim McLean's son Jon McLean, Steve LeBrun, Dustin Cone, Brian Anderson, and Sunny Kim.[2]
