The table below shows the 1990 European Tour schedule which was made up of 37 tournaments counting for the Order of Merit, and seven non-counting "Approved Special Events". There were several changes from the previous season, with the addition of the Atlantic Open, the Amex Med Open and the Austrian Open; and the promotion of the Murphy's Cup to full Order of Merit status.
Before the official schedule was announced the Tenerife Open was dropped, but later returned in place of the cancelled Catalan Open. In late February the Jersey Open was cancelled and replaced by a new tournament in Spain, the El Bosque Open,
