Q School is the qualifying school for the PGA and LPGA professional golf tours. Information is available on Wikipedia and the website WelUnderpar as well as in the periodical Golf Digest and directly through the PGA organization.

Only 50 spots are available in Q-School.
A professional is someone who plays tournaments with cash prizes. To get on the PGA Tour, you must qualify through Q-School. PGA cards are not given, they are earned. A professional plays tournaments for money, accepts money for lessons, takes a job as a golf pro... and yes, to receive a PGA Tour Card, Q-School is one way. There are others. Win 3 Nationwide events. Win the US Amateur. Or be like Tiger.
The top 25 players and ties from the final qualifying stage.
Regional qualifying is $2500 and Finals are $2500
yes
Phil Mickelson did not go to Q school due to the fact that he won the Northern Telecom Open, a PGA tour event, as an amateur in 1991. He was able to turn pro the next year.
No, plenty have players have got a tour card without going to Q School, Rory McIlroy for example, he won a European Tour card from finishing high enough up the money list in tournaments he received exemptions in, them qualified for a PGA tour card from his world rank. Some players play a year on the Nationwide tour in an attempt to finish in the top 25 and win a PGA Tour card.

Yes, There are a couple of ways to play on the PGA without a tour card. One way is a sponsors exemption. obv, this is really hard as you have to be pretty well known... Another way is most Open tournaments have a qualifying tournament to get into the main tournament. An example of someone that never had to go to Q-school or Play on the Nationwide tour is Tiger Woods.
You have to start by going to your regional qualifier. If you top the competition there then you continue on to q-school. This year and almost every year it is in Florida. Be prepared to spend a lot of money to possibly get your *** planted firmly into the ground. But who knows. Details can be found here------> http://www.pgatour.com/qschool/
