  2. ^ ASA − Asian Tour; EUR − European Tour; NWT − Nationwide Tour.
  3. ^ The number in brackets after each winner's name is the number of Von Nida Tour events they had won up to and including that tournament. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Von Nida Tour as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the PGA Tour of Australasia.
