The 1997 Asian PGA Tour, titled as the 1997 Omega Tour for sponsorship reasons, was the third season of the Asian PGA Tour, one of the main professional golf tours in Asia (outside of Japan) alongside the long established Asia Golf Circuit.

It was the third season of the tour under a title sponsorship agreement with Omega SA, that was announced in September 1995.[1]
