Notes edit

  1. ^ The number in brackets after each winner's name is the number of Pro Golf Tour events they had won up to and including that tournament. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Pro Golf Tour as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the Challenge Tour.
  2. ^ a b Points reduced from 4 to 0 due to tournament being shortened to 18 holes because of weather.
