The 2024 PGA Tour Americas was the inaugural season of PGA Tour Americas, a third-tier tour operated and run by the PGA Tour.

Changes for 2024

The inaugural schedule for the new tour was released in November 2023. It featured a six-event "Latin America Swing" (events formerly played on PGA Tour Latinoamérica), and a 10-event "North America Swing" (events formerly played on PGA Tour Canada). The top 10 players on the points list at the end of the season earn status for the following Korn Ferry Tour season.[1]

The points list was title sponsored as the Fortinet Cup, with Fortinet continuing their sponsorship from PGA Tour Canada since 2022.[2]

Notes

  1. ^ The number in parentheses after each winner's name is the number of PGA Tour Americas events they had won up to and including that tournament. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on PGA Tour Americas as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the Korn Ferry Tour.
