Notes
edit- ^ The number in parentheses after each winner's name is the number of Korn Ferry Tour events they had won up to and including that tournament. This information is only shown for Korn Ferry Tour members. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Korn Ferry Tour as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the PGA Tour.
- ^ McCarty earned immediate promotion to the PGA Tour, as this was his third win of the season.[4]
