The 2016 PGA Tour Canada season ran from May 26 to September 18 and consisted of 12 official golf tournaments. This was the 47th season of PGA Tour Canada (previously known as the Canadian Professional Golf Tour), and the fourth under the "PGA Tour Canada" name. It is also the second under the Mackenzie Tour - PGA Tour Canada name after Mackenzie Investments signed a six-year sponsorship deal. Ten events returned from the 2015 schedule and two were added.[1]

The purse for most events was $175,000 with first place earning $31,500. The final event of the season, the Freedom 55 Financial Championship, had a purse of $200,000, with $36,000 going to the winner.
