The 2015 PGA Tour Latinoamérica is the fourth season of the PGA Tour Latinoamérica, having converted from the Tour de las Américas which ceased to operate in 2012. The PGA Tour Latinoamérica is operated and run by the PGA Tour.
Schedule changes
The number of tournaments remained at 18. Two events were dropped from the schedule: the Mundo Maya Open and the TransAmerican Power Products CRV Open. Two events were added: the Honduras Open and the PGA Tour Latinoamérica Tour Championship.[1]
Schedule
The table below shows the 2015 schedule. "Date" is the ending date of each event. The season is split into two sections; eight events in the first half of the year (March to June), and ten events in the latter half (September to December). The numbers in parentheses after the winners' names are the number of wins they had on tour up to and including that event. OWGR is the number of Official World Golf Ranking points awarded for that tournament.[2] All tournaments have a purse of US$175,000 with the exception of the PGA Tour Latinoamerica Tour Championship which has a purse of $200,000 and the unofficial America's Golf Cup which has a purse of $650,000.[3]
