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.
