2020 European Tour rookie
First-time member in 2020 but ineligible for Rookie of the Year award
2020 and 2021 results
[edit]Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the 2020 European Tour season, all of the graduates retained the same status in 2021 except Højgaard and Välimäki, who were promoted to the winners category after their victories.
In 2021, Q School was cancelled for a second straight year, limiting the normal changes in European Tour membership between seasons. Except for Välimäki, whose win in 2020 gave him an exemption through 2023, all of the 2019 Q School graduates that failed to finish in the top 121 of the Race to Dubai retained conditional status for 2022.
