The rankings were titled as the Road to Ras Al Khaimah and were based on tournament results during the season, calculated using a points-based system.[3][4] The top 15 players on the tour earned status to play on the 2019 European Tour.[5]
^The number in brackets after each winner's name is the number of Challenge Tour events they had won up to and including that tournament. This information is only shown for Challenge Tour members. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Challenge Tour as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the European Tour.
^Koivu earned immediate promotion to the European Tour, as this was his third win of the season.[2]
