For 2010–11, the PIOS was dropped and replaced by the pro-am Players Tour Championship and Glover enjoyed success in these events, with notable wins over former two times World Champion Mark Williams and top 32 player Marcus Campbell, wins which helped him reach the last 64 stage of Event 3 and last 32 of Event 4 respectively; however, these runs were not enough to earn him a place back on the professional tour at the end of the season and he failed to win place through the 2011 Q School also. He however did qualify for the main qualifying stages of the 2010 World Open after qualifying from Leicester Riley's Club. He lost 3–1 to Anthony McGill in the first qualifying round.
