The tournament was another designated event, the fifth of the season.

Scottie Scheffler won for the second time this season, both coming in designated events. He finished at 18-under, which gave him a six-shot win over Tyrrell Hatton.

The tournament had a purse of $25 million, the biggest of the season.

The top 41 finishers collected at least six figures, and those who finished inside the top 13 earned at least $500,000.
