Spain's Josele Ballester and two other former LIV Golf players are among the 20 golfers who earned DP World Tour status for 2027 after the final round of qualifying school on Wednesday.
Ballester, South Korea's Byeong Hun An and John Catlin were among the 20 players who finished in the top-15 plus ties following six rounds of qualifying.
Ballester, 23, finished tied for first at 32-under at Infinitum Golf in Tarragona, Spain. He joined LIV Golf in June 2025 and played for countryman Sergio Garcia's Fireballs GC team. Ballester played collegiately at Arizona State and is a former winner of the U.S. Amateur (2024), European Amateur (2023) and Spanish Amateur (2020).
An, 35, tied for eighth place at 28-under. He joined LIV Golf in January as the new captain of the Korean GC team. He is a two-time winner on the European circuit with victories at the BMW PGA Championship in 2015 and the Genesis Championship in 2024.
'Found a new job,' An posted on X. 'DP World Tour, here I come.'
Catlin, 35, tied for 14th place at 25-under. He made his LIV Golf debut in June 2024 as a substitute for the injured Charles Howell III on Crushers GC. He has collected three wins on the European tour and seven on the Asian tour.
LIV Golf announced last week that it was shutting down operations after failing to procure the necessary financing to continue without the support from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.
