Sydneysider Harrison Endycott is returning to the PGA Tour on a winning note, finishing top-qualifier by an impressive four shots in the storm-affected Q-School final at Ponte Vedra in Florida.
Endycott, 27, posted a final round, three-under 67 on the Dye’s Valley’s course at TPC Sawgrass for a 15-under-par total to secure the top spot among the five leading players who will now join the 2024 PGA Tour.

The Aussie, who honed his game at the Avondale GC in the northern suburbs of Sydney, enjoyed the third-round lead and was never headed over the final thanks to five birdies and just two bogeys, regaining full playing rights just weeks after ending his rookie PGA Tour year at 139th on the money list, 14 places shy of holding onto his card.
Endycott’s 2023 season-ending finish would have earned him a limited ‘must play where he has to’ schedule but that’s all changed as he heads to a well-earned Christmas celebration knowing he can pretty much play where he can in season 2024.
As well, Endycott securing his PGA Tour card helps vindicate his decision to purchase a house in Nashville, Tennessee,
The American Trace Crowe (67) finished second on 11-under with countryman Blaine Hale Jnr (71) third at nine-under and the duo of Mexican Perada Raul (69) and American Springer Hayden (69) sharing fourth place on eight-under to secure the prized top-five places.
