The season consisted of 44 official money events (plus one event cancelled due to weather). [[Phil Mickelson]] won the most tournaments, four, and there were 13 first-time winners. The season notably featured the first Tour win for [[Tiger Woods]]. The tournament results, leaders, and award winners are listed below. ==Schedule== The following table lists official events during the 1996 season.<ref>{{cite web \|url=https://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/schedule.history.1996.html \|title=1996 ~~Schedule~~Tournament schedule \|publisher=PGA Tour \|access-date=2 November 2023 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180907101012/https://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/schedule.history.1996.html \|archive-date=7 September 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web \|title=1997 PGA Tour Media Guide \|url=https://pgatourmedia.pgatourhq.com/static-assets/page/header/files/1997_pgatour.pdf \|publisher=PGA Tour \|access-date=2 November 2023}}</ref> {\| class="wikitable" style="font-size:95%" Line 27 ⟶ 28: !Location !Purse<br>([[United States dollar\|US$]]) !Winner{{efn\|The number in parentheses after each winner's name is the number of PGA Tour events they had won up to and including that tournament.
