Notes

edit
  1. ^ The number in parentheses after each winner's name is the number of Nationwide Tour events they had won up to and including that tournament. This information is only shown for Nationwide Tour members. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Nationwide Tour as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the PGA Tour.
  2. ^ Shortened to 36 holes due to weather. Due to the event's length, this win is not officially recognized as a Nationwide Tour victory.[2]
