Korean professional golfer An Byeong-hun has earned a spot on the European tour for the upcoming 2027 season. This was achieved after his former employer, LIV Golf, faced financial difficulties resulting in a bankruptcy. An secured his place by finishing tied for eighth in the final stage of the DP World Tour Qualifying School held at Infinitum Golf's Lakes Course in Tarragona, Spain.
His six-round total of 28-under 400 secured him a card for the 2027 season. An's impressive performance included shooting in the 60s in all six rounds, with a standout 66 in the final round that included six birdies and a single bogey. Among the four former DP World Tour winners who secured their tour cards for 2027 are Tom Lewis (England), Edoardo Molinari (Italy), and John Catlin (United States).
An, a former PGA Tour veteran, spent the 2026 season playing with LIV Golf, a renegade circuit funded by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF). However, in April, the PIF announced it would cease funding LIV Golf after the 2026 season, leading to An's transfer to the European tour. An previously served as the captain of the Korean Golf Club.
