The 2021 European Tour was the 50th season of the European Tour, the main professional golf tour in Europe since its inaugural season in 1972.

Changes for 2021

Following a heavily disrupted 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a new look to the calendar announced in December 2020, with tournaments being scheduled in groups based on location.[1] The Rolex Series was also reduced to just four tournaments - the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, the Abrdn Scottish Open, the BMW PGA Championship and the season ending DP World Tour Championship, Dubai.[2]

Schedule

The following table lists official events during the 2021 season.[3]
