  The player retained full European Tour status for 2022 (finished inside the top 121 in 2021).
  The player retained category 16 European Tour status for 2022 (finished outside the top 121 in 2021).

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 Rozner, who was promoted to the winners category after his victory at the 2020 Golf in Dubai Championship.

In 2021, European Tour Qualifying School was cancelled for a second straight year, limiting the normal changes in European Tour membership between seasons. The 2019 Challenge Tour graduates that failed to finish in the top 121 of the Race to Dubai were placed in a category immediately below the 2021 Challenge Tour graduates for the 2022 European Tour season, approximately equal to the category usually given to qualifying school graduates.
