Notes

  1. ↑ One further tournament was scheduled but was canceled.
  2. ↑ The number in parentheses after each winner's name is the number of Buy.com Tour events they had won up to and including that tournament. This information is only shown for Buy.com Tour members. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Buy.com Tour as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the PGA Tour.
  3. ↑ Slocum earned immediate promotion to the PGA Tour, as this was his third win of the season. [3]
  4. ↑ Canceled due to the September 11 attacks. [4]
  5. ↑ Campbell earned immediate promotion to the PGA Tour, as this was his third win of the season. [5]
