Notes

  1. The number in brackets after each winner's name is the number of PGA Tour of Australasia events they had won up to and including that tournament. This information is only shown for PGA Tour of Australasia members.
  2. ASA − Asian PGA Tour; EUR − European Tour; NWT − Nationwide Tour.
  3. One further tournament was scheduled but was cancelled.
  4. The number in brackets after each winner's name is the number of Von Nida Tour events they had won up to and including that tournament. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Von Nida Tour as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the PGA Tour of Australasia.
