The 2023 PGA Tour Canada was the 37th and final season of the Canadian Tour, and the 10th under the operation and running of the PGA Tour.

In April, the PGA Tour announced that the 2023 season would be the last, as from 2024 the tour would merge with PGA Tour Latinoamérica, creating PGA Tour Americas.[1]

Notes

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