Four courses in Spain — Costa Ballena Club de Golf, El Valle Golf Resort, Las Colinas Golf and Country Club and La Manga Club Resort — are the host venues for the players looking to progress to the final stage.
The European Tour Qualifying School is held at the end of each season to establish which golfers will gain their playing privileges on the tour for the following season through a qualifying competition.
Only the top 26 golfers and ties after four rounds progress to the second stage, being held in Spain.
McDonald represented the Zimbabwe junior and amateur golf teams from 1997 to 1999, before he was awarded a full golf scholarship at Charleston University in South Carolina. The golf scholarship allows him to study for a degree in Business Studies.
He played his first tournament on home soil since turning professional at the Africom Zimbabwe Open in January when he and Ignatious Mketekete finished tied for 23rd place.
Should McDonald make the grade this year, he will become the second Zimbabwean to feature on the European Tour in recent years after Marc Cayeux. — Golfzone.
