dp tour qualifying school 2023

The Home of Great British & Irish Amateur Golf

Dp world tour q-school – 2023 first stage preview & results.

28th August 2023 (Updated 6th October 2023)

I am following all of the amateur players as well as the Great British & Irish professionals through the 2023 DP World Tour Qualifying School series.

Q-School consists of three stages, First, Second and Final.

This article covers FIRST STAGE QUALIFYING which started on 29th August and ends on 6th October 2023.

Additional articles will be written to cover the SECOND STAGE and FINAL STAGE in due course.

Four Second Stage events will be played in Spain on 2nd – 5th November.

Final Stage will be played at Infinitum Golf in Spain on 10th – 15th November where 156 players will battle over six rounds for a top 25 and ties finish and a place on the DP World Tour for the 2024 season.

More information on the 2023 Qualifying School can be found in the Appendix at the end of this article.

FIRST STAGE

First Stage consisted of nine 72 hole stroke play qualifying events split into six Sections, A, B, C, D, E and F.

The number of players advancing from each First Stage tournament is based on field size and calculated on a pro rata basis (i.e. approximately the same percentage from each tournament progressed). All players tied for the the last qualifying position at the conclusion of play advanced to the Second Stage.

This year the DP World Tour introduced a 36 hole cut to First Stage removing players not within 12-shots of the final qualifying place. The 54 hole cut, where only players within 7-shots of the final qualifying place play the final round, also remained in place.

There were 70 amateur entries with 17 (24%) of these successful.

Here is a list of the events, in reverse chronological order, showing how all of the players that I am interested faired plus the medalists: –

THE 2023 DP WORLD TOUR QUALIFYING SCHOOL SERIES

The DP World Tour (previously known as the European Tour) Qualifying School was first played in 1976, four years after the European Tour was founded. What started out as a 72 hole test has grown into potentially a 252 hole marathon.

Nowadays there are three stages of stroke play qualifying; First, Second and Final.

The 2023 European Tour Q-School entrance fee was £2,500 (2022: £2,000, 2019: £1,800) with entries closed on 16th August 2023..

Male amateur golfers with a handicap below 0.4 (i.e. scratch) and who have appeared in positions 1-2,000 of the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) in 2023 can enter.

Some entrants are exempted straight into Second Stage or Final Stage based on their past results and ranking.

From an amateur perspective the leading 5 entrants to First Stage as at 17th August 2022 to a limit of 20th place in the WAGR are fast-tracked straight into Second Stage.

First Stage consists of nine 72 hole stroke play qualifying events split into six Sections, A, B, C, D, E and F.

Around 20% of each field, normally 15-30 players, progress from each event. The actual number of places are confirmed after all the players have teed off on Day 1 of each qualifier.

A 54-hole cut, where players need to be within 7 shots of the final allocated qualifying place, reduces the field for the final round. Ties for the final qualifying place at the end of play proceed too.

SECOND STAGE

The Second Qualifying Stage consists of four separate 72-hole events.

2nd – 5th November 2023

DESERT SPRINGS RESORT, ALMERIA, SPAIN

ISLA CANELA (LINKS COURSE), HUELVA, SPAIN

GOLF LAS PINAILLAS, ALBACETE, SPAIN

FORTANALS GOLF CLUB, GIRONA, SPAIN

The leading five entrants as at 16th August 2023 to a limit of 20th place in the WAGR are exempt from First Stage and can start their Q-School journeys at Second Stage.

There is no cut but players are able to withdrawal after each round if they wish to.

The actual number of places available for Final Stage are again confirmed after all of the players have teed off on Day 1 of each event. Sudden death play-offs are held to resolve ties at this Stage.

FINAL STAGE

The Final Qualifying Stage consists of 108 holes on the Lakes and Hills Courses at Infinity Golf, previously known as Lumine GC, in Tarragona, Spain.

11th – 16th November 2023

INFINITUM, TARRAGONA, SPAIN

Infinitum replaced PGA Catalunya Resort in 2017 and will be hosting Final Stage for the fifth time this year. No Q-School was held in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The current 3 year contract with the Spanish venue to stage the Finals expires in 2024.

156 players will play two rounds over each of the Lakes and Hills Courses. After these 72 holes the field will be cut to the leading 70 players and ties who will play a final 36 holes.

The leading 25 players (plus those tied for 25th place) in the Final Stage competition will earn Conditional Membership of The DP World Tour (and fully exempt status on the Challenge Tour) for the 2024 season. On average the medalist receives 27 tournament starts whilst the 25th qualifier has receives 18.

Those who make the 72 hole cut but finish outside the Top 25 will also earn a membership category, albeit a lower one, on the DP World Tour (and Challenge Tour).

Players who miss the cut will be eligible for membership of the Challenge Tour.

Every player is ranked according to their finishing score, card count backs assisting in this process, and this ranking matters when it comes to future playing opportunities.

DP World Tour Q-School - Who Made It And Who Missed Out

Six days of Q-school action in Spain concluded with 33 players earning DP World Tour cards for the 2024 season

• Sign up to Golf Monthly Newsletter Newsletter

After six gruelling days of action at Infinitum Golf Club in Spain, the final stage of DP World Tour Q-school has drawn to a close.

After what is regarded as the toughest week in golf, some competitors experienced jubilation as the top 25 players and ties on the final leaderboard earned DP World Tour cards for the 2024 season. However, for others, there was agony at seeing their efforts fall short.

German Freddy Schott played 32 times on the DP World Tour in 2023, with a best finish of T10 at July’s Made In Himmerland , but he lost his card after finishing 28 places beneath the cut-off in the Race to Dubai rankings. He didn’t take long to rectify that, though, and closed out his final round in style with an eagle to emerge top of the final leaderboard to make a quick return, along with 32 others. 

Perhaps the biggest name to claim a card is Thai star Kiradech Aphibarnrat , who has four DP World Tour titles. The 34-year-old is a hugely experienced DP World Tour performer, with 202 starts to his name and career earnings of almost €10m. He secured his return with a final round of 64, which included seven birdies to finish 15th.

Kiradech Aphibarnrat has made it through Q-school for a DP World Tour card

Two places ahead of Aphibarnrat on the leaderboard was Renato Paratore . Last year, the Italian endured double agony after firstly finishing one place below the cut-off in the Race to Dubai rankings to lose his card, then miss out on regaining it at Q-school by one shot. However, six rounds that included just nine bogeys ensured that there was no repeat of those frustrations for the 2020 Betfred British Masters champion.

Renato Paratore but the agony of 2022 behind him

Other players celebrating will be Swede Kristoffer Broberg , who edged out Patrick Reed to claim the 2015 BMW Masters title and followed that up with a win in the 2021 Dutch Open. His 14-under for the 16 rounds saw him in a group of 12 who earned a card by one shot.

One of the players who made easier work of the task was Tom Lewis , who finished T6 to comfortably claim a card. The Englishman is a two-time winner of the Portugal Masters, and also won the 2019 Korn Ferry Tour Championship. One of the highlights of his career to date, though, was undoubtedly tying the lead after the first round of the 2011 Open as an amateur, before finishing T30 at Royal St George's Golf Club .

Afterwards, Lewis reflected on the achievement, saying: "This means a lot to me. I've had some up and down moments in my career, and hopefully this can start a new path for me and I can keep building from here."

Another Englishman claiming a DP World Tour card is 18-year-old amateur Joshua Berry , thanks to his finish of T22.

During the closing stages, drama was always likely to ensue, too, and it duly arrived courtesy of Dane Soren Broholt Lind , who holed an eagle putt on the last hole to earn a card by one shot.

Elsewhere, there was agony, with American John Catlin , who has three DP World Tour wins and four on the Asian Tour, missing out by two shots, thanks largely to bogeys in two of the last three holes.

John Catlin missed out on a DP World Tour card

Scot Marc Warren fared even worse. The four-time DP World Tour winner finished 11 shots behind the score he needed for a card, while it was a similar story for South African Thomas Aiken, whose three DP World Tour wins must seem like a distant memory after he missed out on a card by eight shots.

Spare a thought for Alex Levy , too. The five-time DP World Tour-winning Frenchman lost his Tour card in dramatic fashion at the Qatar Masters . At the tournament, he fell short by one shot after a series of near misses including two lip outs on his final two holes.

After the tournament he reflected on his bad luck and confirmed he would go to Q-school. He said: “I think I’m going to go, yeah, for sure and try to get the best card I can. And just to give everything I had and we’ll see what happens.”

Alas, for Levy, it wasn’t to be. A first round of three-over didn’t help his cause and, though things improved, he eventually finished eight under for the six rounds, six shots behind where he needed to be to regain his DP World Tour card.

The Cost of DP World Tour Q School

Every Monday, I write a newsletter breaking down the business in golf. Welcome to the 50 new Perfect Putt members who have joined us since our last newsletter. Join 7,533 intelligent and curious golfers by subscribing below.

Today At A Glance:

I chatted with two of the 36 Americans playing in the second stage of DP World Tour Q School this week. We talked about the money and process of trying to earn a DP World Tour card.

Read Time: 6 minutes

Today’s newsletter is powered by Pinehurst .

A day in Pinehurst is unlike any day – anywhere — in golf.

At Pinehurst Resort, a day can be spent on the U.S. Open’s first Anchor Site and Donald Ross’s famed masterpiece, Pinehurst No. 2. The 2024 U.S. Open will be the fourth played at Pinehurst in the last 25 years , setting the stage for four more championships to return to the hallowed site over the next two decades.

Another day can be enjoyed on Gil Hanse’s breathtaking design of Pinehurst No. 4, and later on one of his most inspired layouts, the rollicking Cradle short course. Seven other masterful designs still await, including the serene Pinehurst No. 8. And just down the road, Tom Doak is creating a 10th Pinehurst course, set to open in April of 2024.

But days at Pinehurst don’t end on the golf course — there’s the barbecue and craft beer at Pinehurst Brewing Company. There’s the stylish bourbon bar, the North & South. Extend evenings with friends around fire pits. Retreat to fully renovated, historic hotels. There’s a reason the locals always say, “It’s a beautiful day in Pinehurst.”

Pinehurst Golf Packages

Hey Golfers —

The second stage of DP World Tour Q School begins this week at four locations across Spain. Over 320 golfers will try to advance to final stage in two weeks.

Thirty-six of the golfers trying to advance to final stage are Americans. Interestingly — only one American finished inside the top 100 in this year’s Race to Dubai rankings on the DP World Tour.

Brooks Koepka provided the most recent blueprint of an American going to Europe to play and eventually earn a PGA Tour card and win five majors.

2012 — Challenge Tour

2013 — DP World Tour & Challenge Tour

2014 — DP World Tour

2015 — PGA Tour

I chatted with two American golfers last week to better understand the money and process of DP World Tour Q School.

Tyler Collet

Graysen Huff

Before we dive in, are more Americans playing in DP World Tour Q School than before?

Twenty-eight Americans played in second stage last year — meaning an increase of 28% this year. The DP World Tour does not provide results beyond last year. But the overall sentiment is yes — more Americans are playing in DP World Tour Q School.

And it makes sense for two primary reasons.

Playing status

Pathway to PGA Tour from DP World Tour

Graysen and Tyler have two wildly different paths to where they are today.

Graysen played golf at Auburn and earned status quickly on PGA Tour Latinoamerica after graduating from college. Graysen has played three seasons on PGA Tour Latinoamerica.

2021 — $7,658 in earnings

2022 — $10,293 in earnings

2023 — $3,068 in earnings

For reference — Graysen finished 52nd on the points list in 2022 and made $10,293. He lost $15,000 on the year after his expenses.

Graysen played in the first stage of PGA Tour Q School a couple of weeks ago — he missed advancing to second stage by one stroke. And he advanced on the number in first stage of DP World Q School.

The entree fee for DP World Tour Q School is $3,200 — each additional stage a golfer qualifies for does not require an entry fee.

Add in flight, hotel, rental car, and food; it cost Graysen $6,000 to qualify through first stage in Austria. Second stage will cost him around half of first stage since he does not have to pay an entry fee. To this point — Graysen will have around $9,000 invested into DP World Tour Q School.

Add in his entry fee and costs for PGA Tour Q School, and he has around $15,000 invested into Q Schools this year.

Tyler went to Eastern Kentucky — he did not play on the golf team, instead enrolled in the PGM program. After graduation, he moved to Florida to take an assistant job. He worked as a full-time assistant for several years until this past May — he is going all in on playing.

Tyler has played in four events on the PGA Tour — including two PGA Championships. And he has two guaranteed starts on the PGA Tour in 2024.

Over the last two years, Tyler has won ten professional events.

Tyler also played in the first stage of PGA Tour Q School — spending over $7,000 in entry fees and expenses.

His expenses for first and second stage of DP World Tour Q School are very similar to Graysen's.

Neither Graysen nor Tyler have status on any tours next year. Here is what is at stake.

If they make it through second stage — they will stay in Spain and make the ten-hour drive across Spain to final stage the following week.

Twenty-five DP World Tour cards are available at final stage. Depending on where a golfer finishes — they will receive conditional status on the DP World Tour and full Challenge Tour status.

Advance to final stage — and they will likely have some status heading into 2024.

The DP World Tour does provide a purse in each of the stages of Q School — an added bonus. The top five places were paid out, and first place in stage one paid out $2,600.

Tyler has a wife and an 11-month-old old. When I asked him if he earned a Challenge Tour card, would he take it? He answered with a resounding yes .

While it doesn’t happen often — Americans do play on the Challenge Tour. Nearly 300 golfers earned points on the Challenge Tour this year — including nine Americans — 3%.

For context — here is what Challenge Tour players have made this year.

1st — $184,800

50th — $52,800

100th — $23,700

Money on the Challenge Tour isn’t as good as the Korn Ferry Tour — but it’s status . And it provides a pathway to the DP World Tour.

And that is what these guys are playing for right now — status on some tour.

Have yourself a great Monday. Talk to you next week!

10 FAULTS FIXED

Korn Ferry Tour

Upcoming changes mean more PGA Tour spots for KFT players, and Q school got more exciting

Tracy Wilcox

The question amid all the PGA Tour news of late about bigger purses and limited-field events was: How does this affect those who are trying to advance from the Korn Ferry Tour?

There were some answers provided on Tuesday when the KFT announced changes on how players could reach the big leagues. Among them: Starting in late 2023, the top 30 finishers on the season points list (including the KFT Finals) will automatically get their PGA Tour card for the following season. That’s up from 25. Conversely, there will be no separate cards earned via only the Finals. Twenty-five additional cards were awarded after the Finals, but many of those went to PGA Tour players who finished outside that season's top 125 and sought to earn their way back through Finals.

MORE: Nick Faldo not interested in LIV Golf

“Increasing from 25 to 30 PGA Tour cards annually awarded to our membership through the Korn Ferry Tour season is yet another sign our mission to produce the next generation of PGA Tour stars is working,” KFT President Alex Baldwin said in a statement.

The announcement came on the  same day that the PGA Tour and DP World Tour said they would enter a 13-year strategic alliance agreement to coordinate a global schedule. Included in that announcement was the news that the top 10 finishers on the DP World Tour (formerly European Tour) each season would receive their PGA Tour cards for the following year.

There also was heartening news for Q-school grinders. Beginning at the 2023 qualifying tournament, the top five finishers will earn their ticket to the PGA Tour. It's the first time they’ll have that shot since 2012, when Q school became the route to only the KFT.

The Five: Top DP World Tour grads succeeding on the PGA TOUR

Need to Know

Change Text Size

The Genesis Scottish Open field will feature names much of the American golfing public may not be familiar with. They'd be smart to start learning. The field includes 75 DP World Tour members. More than a few will likely be on the PGA TOUR next year.

As part of the Strategic Alliance with the PGA TOUR and DP World Tour, the top 10 players on the final Race to Dubai Rankings who are not already exempt on the PGA TOUR earn TOUR cards for the next year. Players hold status on both tours, giving the best on the DP World Tour access to the TOUR while still maintaining the flexibility to play in Europe. Think Matthieu Pavon and Robert MacIntyre. They were two of the DP World Tour grads from the inaugural year of the pathway, established before last season.

As the summer continues, the next crop of talented Euros will continue to take shape, but as the PGA TOUR heads over for its annual summer stint in the United Kingdom, it's an apt time to take a look back at who is performing best from the 2023 class. As a whole, they've proven successful. Two of the 10 have won on TOUR, three are currently projected into the Playoffs and six are inside the top 125.

Here's a look at the five top performers.

Matthieu Pavon

The frontrunner for Rookie of the Year is also the top-performing European from last year's DP World Tour top-10. And he very nearly didn't earn a TOUR card at all.

A veteran DP World Tour member, Pavon was ready to return there full-time in 2024. If not for four straight birdies to close his final round of the DP World Tour Championship, he would have. But the Frenchman found red numbers in droves, holing birdie putts of 11, 16 and 13 feet and then tapping in a two-footer on the 18th to cap his miraculous run up the leaderboard. It earned him a T5 finish and, more importantly, moved him inside the top 10 in the last week of the Race to Dubai Rankings – PGA TOUR Eligibility ranking to secure a TOUR card.

Matthieu Pavon wins 2024 Farmers Insurance Open

Pavon was a late bloomer on the DP World Tour, winning his first event in his 185th start. He needed just three starts to earn his first PGA TOUR victory, outlasting fellow Europeans Thomas Detry and Stephen Jaeger to win the Farmers Insurance Open. A week later he jumped to No. 1 in the FedExCup standings with a solo third at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He finished T12 at the Masters and fifth at the U.S. Open, further illustrating his mettle.

Robert MacIntyre

It's been an up-and-down year for MacIntyre and his acclimation to TOUR life. He eloquently spoke about his struggles adjusting to living and playing the majority of his golf in America in an interview with Bunkered in May. It was both off-course and on-course. The courses are different, the grasses are different and, most notably, the people and culture are different.

"It's just basic stuff to be honest with you that you take for granted back home in Europe. It's just simple things. Sitting in player dining, you do it in Europe and you've got all the Scottish boys, you've got all the British boys. A lot of the European guys, if you're sitting on you're own, they will come and join you," MacIntyre said. "Out here, because you don't know many folk, you don't know them in that same kind of depth, they don't come to sit with you. It does become a lonely place at the golf side of it."

He carded just one top-30 finish in his first 10 starts but began to find his stride in the spring. He notched three top-15s in a four-event stretch, including a T8 at the PGA Championship. Then he broke through at the RBC Canadian Open, winning his first TOUR event in an emotional scene with his father carrying his bag.

Robert MacIntyre wins RBC Canadian Open

MacIntyre is 39th in the FedExCup, well on his way to playing the FedExCup Playoffs in his first season on TOUR, and in position to earn exemptions into all of next year's Signature Events.

Victor Perez

Perez was one of the most experienced Europeans to earn dual membership last fall and that veteran acumen has been on display. After a rough start to the season, Perez has stabilized and is playing some of his best golf at the best time.

Perez finished a season-best third at the RBC Canadian Open, which was enough to earn exemptions in the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday and Travelers Championship via the Aon Swing 5. He finished T12 at the Memorial and T44 at the Travelers, earning enough FedExCup points to slip into the coveted top 70. The top 70 players following the Wyndham Championship will make the FedExCup Playoffs.

Victor Perez sinks a 40-foot eagle putt at the Memorial

This week's Genesis Scottish Open is a bit of a homecoming for Perez. He's not Scottish, but he lived in Scotland for six years before relocating to Nassau, Bahamas, and the Albany Club for this TOUR season. The first-year member had lived in Scotland full-time (first in Dundee, then Edinburgh) since 2017 and was based at The Renaissance Club, home of the Genesis Scottish Open.

Sami Valimaki

A former DP World Tour Rookie of the Year, Valimaki has work left to do to earn the same title on the PGA TOUR this season. At 86th in the FedExCup, he's well behind Pavon and Knapp. Still, he's in a solid position to keep his TOUR card.

Sami Valimaki buries a 53-foot birdie putt at RBC Canadian

Valimaki earned a bulk of his points with a solo second at the Mexico Open at Vidanta in March. The Finn has struggled to replicate that form with much consistency. His T12 at the John Deere Classic was encouraging, but, along with the Mexico Open, it's the only two times Valimaki has finished inside the top 30 of an event.

Ryo Hisatsune

Count Hisatsune, 21, among the up-and-coming young players who are quickly establishing themselves on the TOUR. Hisatsune hasn't notched the top results like some of his peers, but his consistency has put him firmly in a position to keep his card for another year.

Hisatsune, one of just two Japanese players with full status TOUR this year, has four top 20s this season and amassed nearly $1 million in earnings. He's currently 97th in the FedExCup. Hisatsune's T11 at The American Express in January remains his best result.

Ryo Hisatsune sinks a 51-foot birdie putt at THE CJ CUP

The youngest player in the DP World Tour top 10 from a year ago, the 21-year-old Hisatsune's rise was rather remarkable. He became the first Japanese golfer to win in Continental Europe in 40 years with his maiden DP World Tour victory during his rookie season at the 2023 Cazoo Open de France.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

Travis Kelce Saw Taylor Swift's Kansas City 'Eras Tour' Show 1 Year Ago

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce 's love story has already given Us so much - from " seemingly ranch " to " So High School " - so it's hard to believe that it's only been one year since the missed connection that started it all.

Kelce, 34, attended Swift's July 8, 2023, Eras Tour stop at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium with the goal of meeting the pop star, also 34. He didn't get his wish, which he bemoaned during an episode of his and brother Jason Kelce 's "New Heights" podcast.

"I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings. So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her," the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said. "I wanted to give [her] one with my number on it."

Travis' comments made it back to Swift, who was enchanted by the athlete's candor. The pair started hanging out soon after, but the public didn't know that for sure until Swift confirmed the timeline during her December 2023 Time profile.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Relationship Timeline

"This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell," she told the outlet.

Swift and Travis made their romance public when she cheered him on at a September 2023 Chiefs game at the same stadium where he'd seen her perform months prior. She sported the Chiefs' colors and watched the action with Travis' mom, Donna Kelce . After the game, Swift was photographed with her arm wrapped around Travis at a bar.

"By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple," Swift told Time in December 2023. "I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date."

Swift proceeded to make the NFL even more famous by attending several more Chiefs games throughout the season with celebrity pals, including Blake Lively , Ryan Reynolds , Sabrina Carpenter , Sophie Turner and Hugh Jackman . She was present when the team beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 at Super Bowl LVIII in February.

Taylor Swift Is in Her Super Bowl Era While Cheering on Travis Kelce

After the game, Swift made her way from a private box down to the field where she praised Travis' "unbelievable" performance and kissed him several times .

The power couple's supportive dynamic goes both ways, as Travis has been to several more Eras Tour shows since last July. Most recently, he attended three of Swift's shows at London's Wembley Stadium and even joined her onstage during one Tortured Poets Department set dressed in a suit and top hat.

Travis' enthusiastic participation in Swiftie culture, from wearing a "Fearless" friendship bracelet in Cannes to singing along at Eras Tour shows, is enough for some fans to think Swift and the guy on the Chiefs are end game. And honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?
