Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The number in brackets after each winner's name is the number of Clutch Pro Tour events they had won up to and including that tournament. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Clutch Pro Tour as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the Challenge Tour.
  2. ^ The number in brackets after each winner's name is the number of Clutch Pro Tour Tier 2 events they had won up to and including that tournament. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Clutch Pro Tour Tier 2 as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the Clutch Pro Tour.
