[edit]Notes
[edit]- ^ The number in parentheses after each winner's name is the number of PGA Tour Latinoamérica events they had won up to and including that tournament. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the PGA Tour Latinoamérica as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the Web.com Tour.
- ^ Shortened to 18 holes due to weather. Due to the event's length, this win is not officially recognized as a PGA Tour Latinoamérica victory.
- ^ The number in parentheses after each winner's name is the number of PGA Tour Latinoamérica Developmental Series events they had won up to and including that tournament. As most Developmental Series events are incorporated from regional tour schedules, details of these wins are displayed there instead.
- ^ COL − Colombian Tour; GGPM − Gira de Golf Profesional Mexicana; TPG − TPG Tour.
