It is the PGA qualifying tournement to enter the PGA tour. Based on how many new PGA players the tour will allow for the new year one must finish in that group.
Possibly 10 players can get on tour from the qualifying so the top ten scorers will make it. Finish lower and you are out for another year.

Q-school is a 6 round tournament that usually has the cut at the top 30...
u can qualify for q-school after you've graduated college on a golf scholarship....
its very tough competition, and if you dont make it you'll have to wait till the next year to qualify again...
if you are wanting to qualify for the PGA tour, Nationwide tour, or any other pro tour you have to make it through q-school
GOOD LUCK!!!! ^_^

Q-School: PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament
The PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament - better known as Q-School - was first played in 1965, and John Schlee was the first winner. The tournament has been played annually ever since, with two tournaments (Spring and Fall) played in 1968-69 and 1975-81.
Each year, the tournament results in a certain number of golfers earning PGA Tour cards - membership in and playing privileges on the tour for the following PGA Tour season. The tournament also awards, in its final stage, status on the Nationwide Tour to participants who fail to earn PGA Tour cards.
PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament Format:
The PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament is actually a series of tournaments, beginning with first stage qualifiers played at numerous locations around the U.S. Golfers who make the grade at the first stage advance to second stage qualifiers. And golfers advancing out of the second stage move on to the Final Stage - the six-round grind that is known as Q-School.
Some golfers are able to skip the first stage, and others even the second stage, if they meet certain criteria (such as having conditional status on the Tour, or being a past champion).
Following six rounds of stroke play at the Final Stage, the highest finishers receive fully exempt status on the PGA Tour for the following year. That number is usually the low 30 finishers plus ties.
Q-School also serves as a qualifier for the Nationwide Tour. Golfers finishing outside the Top 30 plus ties at the Final Stage receive either fully exempt status on the Nationwide Tour, or conditional status for that tour, depending on their placement.
PGA Tour Q-School Trivia:
• Among Q-School medalists, Ben Crenshaw went on to win the most PGA Tour tournaments (19).
• Crenshaw and Fuzzy Zoeller have the major majors among Q-School medalists, two each.
• Robin Freeman is the only golfer to be Q-School medalist in two different years.

this is the PGA Qualification School. Once you "pass" you earn your Tour card, which can be lost if you play bad enough. I am not sure what you have to do exactly to get through Q-School, however.
