By Ryan Segal Jeffrey de Zwaan says he’s ‘feeling great’ after regaining his tour card ahead of the 2026 season. The former World Matchplay Semi-Finalist sealed his return via EU Q-School, winning his card automatically on the final day of the event. After a testing few years for the Black Cobra, he couldn’t hide his joy at returning to the Pro Tour: “I’m feeling great, to be honest.
