Professional golfer Jack Cope has taken a significant step forward in his career by earning exemption from the First Stage of the DP World Tour Qualifying School (Q-School).
This exemption secures Cope direct entry into the Second Stage, reflecting his consistency and success on the Clutch Pro Tour Tier 1 throughout the 2025 season.
Finishing inside the top four of the Clutch Pro Tour Tier 1 Order of Merit as of the August 13th entry deadline, Cope bypasses the demanding First Stage—a four-round challenge held across multiple European venues—saving time, resources, and energy as he prepares for the tougher tests ahead.
“This exemption is a massive step forward for me,” said Cope. “It allows me to focus my preparation fully on the Second Stage, where the competition is fierce, and the opportunity to progress towards the DP World Tour is real. I’m excited for the challenge and grateful for the support I’ve received throughout this season.”
By advancing directly to Second Stage, Cope positions himself strongly for a potential run at Final Stage, where successful players secure a coveted DP World Tour card and full playing rights for 2026.
