1999 PGA Tour

After caddie Garland Dempsey collapsed at the Western Open in early July,^[1] the PGA Tour allowed male caddies, on a trial basis, to wear shorts on extremely hot days.^[2] Two years earlier, the USGA changed its policy and allowed caddies to wear shorts at the U.S. Open in June 1997.^[3]

The following table lists official events during the 1999 season.^[4][5]
