2008 Tour de las Américas
The 2008 Tour de las Américas season consisted of 15 golf tournaments, hosted in eight different countries across Latin America. Six events were played in Argentina, two each in Chile and Venezuela and one each in Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Paraguay, and Peru.
The Tour de las Américas continued its close association with the PGA European Tour, with three events being co-sanctioned by the Challenge Tour, Europe's official development tour. It also began an association with the Canadian Tour, co-sanctioning three events.
