The following events, all team events, appear on the schedule, but do not carry official money.
Since 2009, the European Tour's money list has been known as the "Race to Dubai". It is based on money earned during the season and is calculated in points based on euro, with earnings from tournaments that award prize money in other currencies being converted at the exchange rate available the beginning of the season. The following table shows the final top-10 in the 2018 standings.[2]
