The PGA Tour Latinoamérica and PGA Tour Canada are merging under one umbrella to form the PGA Tour Americas, the PGA Tour announced Tuesday.
The PGA Tour Americas will consist of 16 events in Latin America, Canada and the United States from February to September in 2024. The top 10 finishers on the season points list will not be exempt from the Korn Ferry Tour (second most important circuit) until in the following season.
“As we build on the rich history of golf in Latin America and Canada, we are excited about the PGA Tour Americas and the role this tour will play in preparing players for the next step in their professional golf journey,” he says. Alex Baldwin, President of the Korn Ferry Tour.
“The PGA Tour Americas will be a highly competitive tour aimed at identifying, developing and moving high-performing players to the next level as they rise through the ranks and strive to reach the highest level of professional golf, the PGA Tour.”
The PGA Tour Americas Latin America Swing begins in February and runs through May. The top 60 players from that group will compete in the North America Swing from June through September, and the combined points tally from both schedules will determine which 10 players advance to the Korn Ferry Tour.
In addition, the top two finishers from the Latin America Swing and the top three from Canada will receive conditional status.
