Notes
[edit]- ^ The number in brackets after each winner's name is the number of Asian Development Tour events they had won up to and including that tournament. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Asian Development Tour as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the Asian Tour.
- ^ PGM − Professional Golf of Malaysia Tour; PHI − Philippine Golf Tour; TWN − Taiwan PGA Tour.
