The 2024 Asian Tour was the 29th season of the modern Asian Tour (formerly the Asian PGA Tour), the main professional golf tour in Asia (outside of Japan) since it was established in 1995.

New tournaments for the 2024 season included the International Series Macau[1] and the Black Mountain Championship.[2] Additionally, in February 2024, it was confirmed that a new tournament in a new continent to the Asian Tour, would be added to the schedule; the Karen Classic to be played in August at Karen Country Club in Kenya.[3] However, the tournament was later removed from the schedule and did not take place.

The DGC Open[4] and the World City Championship from the 2023 schedule were dropped for the 2024 season.
