2025 LPGA Q-Series Final Qualifying final results: Prize money payout, leaderboard, who earned LPGA status



The 2025 LPGA Final Qualifying final leaderboard is headed by winner Helen Briem, with the German player winning the four-round marathon on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Magnolia Grove -- the Crossings Course and Falls Course -- in Alabama.

Briem won the 72-hole event on 13-under total, good enough for a one-shot win over Soo Bin Joo.

In total, 31 players earned LPGA status for 2026. Players finishing in positions 1-25 and ties earned LPGA Tour status in Category 15, giving them entry into most full-field LPGA events. Players who finished outside that top 25 and ties have status on the Epson Tour in 2026 in Category C.

  1. Helen Briem

The cutoff to get an LPGA card for 2026 was 5-under 281 and better. A total of 111 players from a starting 115 completed the tournament.

Briem won the $15,000 winner's share of the $150,000 purse.

LPGA Final Qualifying recap notes

Final Qualifying was scheduled to be a five-round competition with a cut after 72 holes. However, in the end, it was a 72-hole event, with all players getting two rounds on each course. Magnolia Grove (Crossings and Falls Courses) hosted the entire event.

This is the latest iteration for Final Qualifying, which had been known as Q-Series and had replaced the third-and-final stage of LPGA Q-School. The final stage was previously eight rounds in the first four years, turning to six last year and a scheduled five this year.

There was to be a cut after four rounds to the top 65 and ties to make it a little easier to get the field through the difficult final round to maintain status. However, with the weather situation, the whole field was afforded the oppportunity to play all four rounds.
