Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ One further tournament was scheduled but was cancelled.
  2. ^ The number in parentheses after each winner's name is the number of PGA Tour Canada events they had won up to and including that tournament. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on PGA Tour Canada as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the Web.com Tour.
