Notes
  1. Tournaments that were postponed or affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic had their rankings adjusted - players can use the best result from 2020 or 2021 from the same Tour-level event. If a player’s 2020 result is better than his 2021 result, his 2021 result will not be included in his ranking breakdown.[8]
