Dan Brown may have thought his PGA Tour dream was slipping away, but a dramatic offseason twist has changed everything, and he unexpectedly has Elivy Golf to thank for it. The Englishman, who became a fan favorite during his impressive run at the 2024 Open Championship, has officially secured the final PGA Tour card available through the 2025 race to Dubai rankings. Brown becomes the 10th and last DP World Tour player to earn PGA Tour status for the 2026 season. A spot he originally believed he had missed by the slimmest of margins. After finishing tied for 45th at the DP World Tour Championship, Brown slid down to 11th place in the race to do by standings. With only the top 10 players earning PGA Tour Cards, it seemed like a heartbreaking near miss for the 29year-old. Then came the shock pivot that flipped Brown’s fate. Earlier this week, fellow Englishman Lorie Caner, who originally finished inside the coveted top 10, chose to return to Aliv Golf for the 2026 season, rejoining the Mageix GC. His decision created an empty PGA Tour slot that automatically passed down to the next eligible player. Brown’s team confirmed to bunker the CEO.uk UK that he has accepted the offer and will compete on the PGA tour next year. The Caner situation was historic in its own right. After a stellar 2025 campaign, he appeared set to become the first former LIIV player ever to earn PGA tour membership following his earlier exit from the Saudi backed league. But with LIIV offering him a spot back, the same Mageix team he briefly represented in 2023 as an injury reserve. Caner opted to return to the breakaway circuit. Due to the PGA Tours eligibility rules, any player signed with LIV cannot simultaneously hold PGA Tour membership, which meant Caner’s departure immediately opened the door for Brown. This isn’t the first time a DP World Tour star with a secured PGA Tour pathway has defected to LIV. Adrien Moranc 2023 and Tom McKibben 2024 both made the jump after earning their PGA Tour cards. The key difference they switched after the start of the new year meaning their PGA Tour spots were locked in and could not be reassigned. Brown however got lucky. Caner made his move before the deadline ensuring the unused membership would be handed to the next eligible player and that player was Brown. The result, a stunning late season reversal that takes Brown from disappointment to the biggest opportunity of his career.mm.
