In 2026, the PGA Tour will run 21 open qualifiers into its events. That means 21 events -- mostly Monday qualifiers -- where players will have an opportunity to get a potentially life-changing spot in a PGA Tour event.
The PGA Tour has Monday qualifying that feeds into their tournament at what are called open tournaments. They don't have them for their invitational tournaments, The Players, the Signature events, the majors (which they don't run) or the FedEx Cup playoff events.
These qualifiers largely offer four spots into the associated tournament field. However, under new rules that start with this season, three events played before the Masters will only offer two spots through Monday qualifying because of new field-size guidelines.
PGA Tour Monday qualifiers are almost exclusively run by PGA of America sections closest to the tournament host site. While the overwhelming number of Monday qualifiers are held on Mondays, some are held prior to tournament week, particularly for events outside the mainland United States.
These open qualifiers typically have pre-qualifying tournaments that serve as a gateway to the Monday qualifier for those without status.
