It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the PGA Tour Latinoamérica as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the Web.com Tour.
- ^ Shortened to 18 holes due to weather. Due to the event's length, this win is not officially recognized as a PGA Tour Latinoamérica victory.
- ^ 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.
