2008 TPG Tour

The 2008 TPG Tour was a season of golf tournaments on the TPG Tour, the official professional golf tour of Argentina. The season ran from February to December and consisted of sixteen tournaments, fifteen in Argentina and one, the Carlos Franco Invitational, held in Paraguay.

Seven events were also part of the Tour de las Americas, the highest level tour in Latin America. Of those, the Center Open and the Argentine Open were co-sanctioned by the Challenge Tour, and the Argentine Masters by the Canadian Tour.

The Order of Merit was won by Estanislao Goya, who also topped the 2008 Tour de las Americas standings, despite only winning one tournament. Andrés Romero was second, having claimed two titles, with Rafael Gómez finishing third with three victories during the course of season.
