Qualifying school[]

The qualifying school was played in Portugal in late January 2019. There were two 36-hole "stage 1" events with the leading players in these events joining a number of exempt players in the 72-hole final stage. There were just five qualifying places available for the 2019 season.[1] There was a cut after 54 holes with players more than eight shots away from the fifth qualifying place not playing the final round.

The following five players gained their places on the 2019 tour:[2]
