Description
PGA Tour Latinoamérica was a third level professional golf tour formed in 2012 and operated by the PGA Tour. It was formed in concert with the now also defunct Tour de las Américas. Executives from the Tour de las Américas became employees of the new tour.
PGA Tour Latinoamérica was one of a number of lower-tier tours that factored into the Official World Golf Ranking, previously awarding a minimum of six points to the winner and points to the top six plus ties. The top five in the tour's Order of Merit earned status to play on the Korn Ferry Tour, with the money leader being fully exempt. The Order of Merit winner also received the Roberto De Vicenzo Award, named after one of the first golf stars to come out of Latin America. Players finishing 6th-50th retained privileges on PGA Tour Latinoamérica, but were also able to advance to the Korn Ferry Tour Qualifying Tournament depending on position. Those 2nd-5th could also improve their status at the Korn Ferry Tour Qualifying Tournament, gaining entry into the final stage.
In April 2023, the PGA Tour announced that the 2023 PGA Tour Latinoamérica season would be the last, as from 2024 the tour would merge with PGA Tour Canada, creating PGA Tour Americas.
