edit
- The colorings here refer to the 2021 season, as there was no full graduating class from the Challenge Tour in 2020.
- Lieser and Mansell were among the Challenge Tour top 5 in 2020 and given access to some 2021 European Tour events; neither played enough Challenge Tour events in 2021 to be ranked. The green color represents the category they wound up in for 2022.
- Players could not fall below the conditional category for 2022, unless they did not play at all (like Huldahl).
- Young and van West finished outside the top 70, but their category prevented them from falling.
