It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on PGA Tour Latinoamérica as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the Korn Ferry Tour.
  2. ^ The number in parentheses after each winner's name is the number of PGA Tour Latinoamérica Developmental Series events they had won up to and including that tournament. As most Developmental Series events are incorporated from regional tour schedules, details of these wins are displayed there instead.
  3. ^ CHL − Chilean Tour; GGPM − Gira de Golf Profesional Mexicana; TPG − TPG Tour.
