1. Introduction

The All Thailand Golf Tour will hold a qualifying tournament for the 2026 season to provide an opportunity for golfers who do not have any membership status with the All Thailand Golf Tour to compete in tournaments of the All Thailand Golf Tour in 2026, as well as golfers who are currently members but wish to upgrade their membership status. The top 40 golfers, along with any who tie for the lowest score at the final qualifying tournament, will join Category 16 of the All Thailand Golf Tour. They will be grouped with golfers who earned their spots through the previous year's Order of Merit and others with special membership status for the 2026 season. Details on Membership Exemption Categories can be found in Appendix 1 CLICK.
Applicants who complete the entry process correctly will be given priority consideration (applicants can choose their competition section for First Qualifying Stage). The All Thailand Golf Tour qualifying tournament is divided into two stages.

 

Remarks: First Qualifying Stage (Section A and Section B) - Applicants may register for either Section A or Section B of the First Qualifying Stage, but not both. If the maximum number of applicants is reached before the close of entry, further entry will be accepted as reserve. The consideration will be at the discretion of the tournament committee.
