This is a recap of the 2004–05 season of the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tour. It was the tour's 46th season and consisted of 21 events. A major change to the tour this season was the move to an "exempt" format for most standard events. In this format, 58 players automatically qualified for the top 64 each week. The other six spots were filled from a Tour Qualifying Round (TQR) held on the first day of the tournament.
