Qualifying school

There was no qualifying school for the 2021 season. The five players who qualified for the cancelled 2020 European Senior Tour season had their playing rights rolled over to the 2021 season.[5]

Order of Merit leaders

A points-based system was used instead of one based on prize money. Tournaments had different points values with the three majors carrying 10,000 points and the remaining 16 events carrying between 2,500 and 4,500 points.
