Notes
  1. A further one tournament was scheduled but was cancelled.
  2. The number in parentheses after each winner's name is the number of Web.com Tour events they had won up to and including that tournament. This information is only shown for Web.com Tour members. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Web.com Tour as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the PGA Tour.
  3. Bryan earned immediate promotion to the PGA Tour, as this was his third win of the season.
