Player who frustrated Min Woo Lee earns PGA Tour card nine months after controversy

Alejandro Tosti secured the fifth and final PGA Tour card at Q-School, finishing in a tie for second place at TPC Sawgrass.

While most players at the event were looking to make their first impression, golf fans may have already heard of Tosti’s name.

He played alongside Min Woo Lee and Ryan Fox in the final round of the 2025 Houston Open, a tournament that brought him plenty of attention.

Tosti’s actions on the back nine also drew criticism for what was widely seen as unsportsmanlike behavior.

The tension began when Lee spent around half an hour deciding whether to take a drop and how to play his next shot on the eighth hole.

This led to one of the most debated moments from that event. Many felt he had crossed a line with his conduct, with Lee later acknowledging he took longer than he should have.

Tosti’s talent is clear. But while his place on Tour is well-earned, there’s no denying that opinions about him are split.

Tosti’s actions at Houston Open were called ‘incredibly unfair’ by analysts

Two well-known commentators highlighted Alejandro Tosti’s behaviour during the final round of the Houston Open.

Kevin Kisner pointed out during the broadcast that Tosti’s intentionally slow play must have affected Min Woo Lee.

“He is just not a very happy camper right now. You never know how this is going to affect the guy you are playing with, because if you are picking up on it, Min Woo Lee certainly has,” Kisner said.

Meanwhile, Jim “Bones” Mackay gave a much harsher response to Tosti’s gamesmanship in Houston.

“He certainly could have. Obviously, he is really in this ball game right now, given that he is trying to post his first win,” Bones replied. “But the bottom line is this is incredibly unfair on a 26-year-old trying to get over the line for the first time.”
