The 2022–23 PGA Tour of Australasia, titled as the 2022–23 ISPS Handa PGA Tour of Australasia for sponsorship reasons, was the 49th season on the PGA Tour of Australasia, the main professional golf tour in Australia and New Zealand since it was formed in 1973.
The season marked a switch of format in the Order of Merit, which saw it become a points-based system, rather than based on money earned.[1]
The following table lists official events during the 2022–23 season.[2] [3]
