Ireland's Niall Kearney misses out on DP World Tour card in Spain

Dubliner must settle for HotelPlanner card for 2027.

IRELAND’S NIALL KEARNEY has missed out on securing a DP World Tour card for next season at Final Stage Qualifying School.

The Dubliner was the only Irish player to make the cut for the final two rounds in Spain, but his hopes were hanging by a thread on Tuesday. 

Kearney carded another round of 68 on Wednesday to finish 18-under for the tournament – seven shots off the cut-off point as the top 20 finishers earned DP World Tour cards for 2027.

The 38-year-old must settle for the secondary HotelPlanner Tour – having earned his card by making the cut – and €1,750 prize money. 

Spanish duo Jose Luis Ballester and Rocco Repetto Taylor shared victory with matching rounds of 65 to sign on 32-under for the week.
