Tarragona:Seoul South Korean golfer An Byeong-hun has earned a place on the top European tour for the 2027 season. This achievement comes after An's previous employer, LIV Golf, went bankrupt.

According to Yonhap News Agency, An tied for eighth place in the final stage of the DP World Tour Qualifying School at Infinitum Golf's Lakes Course in Tarragona, Spain. He finished with a six-round total of 28-under 400, securing his tour card for 2027. An consistently shot in the 60s throughout the rounds, concluding with a five-under 66 in the final round that featured six birdies and one bogey.

The 35-year-old is one of four former DP World Tour winners to regain their tour cards, alongside Tom Lewis of England, Edoardo Molinari of Italy, and John Catlin of the United States. An, a former PGA Tour veteran, played the 2026 season with LIV Golf, which was initially backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) before it withdrew support earlier this year. LIV Golf filed for bankruptcy in September after a failed rescue deal, and announced it would cease operations last week.

In an interview on the DP World Tour's website, An expressed his delight at securing his position for next year, likening the experience to being a rookie again. He admitted to feeling pressure during the final two rounds but managed to stay focused and secure the necessary birdies to achieve his goal.

An has previously won two tournaments on the DP World Tour, the BMW PGA Championship in 2015 and the Genesis Championship in 2024, the latter being co-sanctioned by the Korea PGA Tour.
