The 2009 U.S. Open champion captured his first title since 2011 Wells Fargo Championship, a span of 3,717 days between victories.

Glover collected 500 FedExCup points and moved from No. 82 to 32nd in the FedExCup standings. Nine of 13 John Deere Classic champions have qualified for the season-finale TOUR Championship in the FedExCup era.
He earned spots in the field at 2022 Sentry Tournament of Champions, THE PLAYERS Championship, Masters Tournament and PGA Championship.
Glover came from four strokes back after three rounds; progression after each round – T29-T3-T12-Won.
He is exempt into The Open Championship next week via finishing top-30 in 2019 FedExCup standings.
Glover notched the seventh win by a player 40 or older on Tour this season (Stewart Cink/2, Sergio Garcia, Brian Gay, Matt Jones, Phil Mickelson).
The 64 matched low final round by a winner this season (Jason Kokrak/THE CJ CUP @ SHADOW CREEK, Si Woo Kim/The American Express, Brian Gay/Bermuda Championship).
