In nearly six years as a pro, Jorge Garcia has never played a Korn Ferry Tour event. The only PGA Tour start he’s logged came at the 2013 Puerto Rico Classic, when he was a hotshot 17-year-old from Venezuela with a big dream. He’s not just ranked No. 2,103 in the world rankings; he’s never cracked the top 1,500.

And yet, Garcia, 29, is four rounds away from life-changing status.

Garcia’s journey to this week’s final stage of PGA Tour Q-School in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, where the top five finishers in the 176-player field will earn fully exempt membership on the PGA Tour for 2026, is one of resilience.

“I’ve been fighting for this for a really long time,” said Garcia, who was born in Anaco, Venezuela, about 100 miles southeast of Caracas.
