Notes
edit- ^ The number in brackets after each winner's name is the number of Pro Golf Tour events they had won up to and including that tournament. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Pro Golf Tour as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the Challenge Tour.

Tadeas Tetak wins the Castanea Resort Championship 2024 with an overall score of -12. His second win of the season is synonymous with promotion to the Challenge Tour. The second and third-placed finishers in the season finale, Yente van Doren (-11) and Jean Bekirian (-10), are also delighted with their Challenge Tour card... Cédric Gugler from Switzerland finished fifth overall but, like Meyer de Beco, had already secured his Tour card thanks to three wins this season. All five will start the 2025 Challenge Tour season in category 13b.
