Though they didn't win, Jason Day, Byeong Hun An, Mackenzie Hughes, Taylor Pendrith, Christian Bezuidenhout, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, and Viktor Hovland had good outings that will add a significant amount to their 2024 winnings.

Since there are not any cuts in a Signature Event, every single golfer played all four rounds. Despite struggling, players like Eric Cole, Matthieu Pavon, Tony Finau, reigning champion Wyndham Clark, and others still made some money for their efforts.
