  The player retained his European Tour card for 2014 (finished inside the top 110).
  The player did not retain his European Tour card for 2014, but retained conditional status (finished between 111–145).
  The player did not retain his European Tour card for 2014 (finished outside the top 145).

Broberg earned a direct promotion to the European Tour after his third win of 2012 in August. Because Carlsson had also finished 93rd in the Race to Dubai, the graduating places were extended by one. The players ranked 17th through 21st were placed below the Qualifying School graduates on the exemption list, and thus could improve their status by competing in Qualifying School. Morten Ørum Madsen improved his status in this way. Hartø, Wakefield, Stal, and Brooks regained their cards for 2014 through Q School.
