1999 Nike Tour

Schedule

The number in parentheses after winners' names shows the player's total number of wins on the tour including that event. No one accumulates many wins on the tour because success at this level soon leads to promotion to the PGA Tour. All the official tournament names began with "Nike", for example Nike South Florida Classic: these are eliminated here for brevity.
