Rocco Mediate turned in the low round on Sunday (8-under 64) to tie for low round for the tournament, vaulting him from 39th place into a tie for eighth. Scott McCarron, who won the Schwab Cup in 2019., was the last player to advance to the second playoff event, the TimberTech Championship, while the last player out was David Branshaw, who finished T22 at the Dominion Energy Charity Classic but reached only 55th in the Charles Schwab Cup standings.

2022 TimberTech Championship: A 65-year-old Bernhard Langer broke his own record as the oldest player to win on PGA TOUR Champions, carding a 66 on Sunday to finish at 17 under, six strokes ahead of Paul Goydos and Thongchai Jaidee, for his third victory at the TimberTech. Langer moved from seventh to fifth in the Schwab Cup standings, while Steven Alker, who led the Charles Schwab Cup standings, maintained a healthy lead after finishing T6. John Huston finished T8 to move from outside the top-36 line to the last man in, marking hisfirst appearance in the season finale since his rookie season in 2011.

2022 Charles Schwab Cup Championship: Padraig Harrington shot 62 on Saturday to build a five-shot cushion and cruised home Sunday with a 6-under 65 at Phoenix Country Club to finish at 27 under, winning by seven shots. Harrington’s total tied the record for relation to par in a PGA TOUR Champions event, matching Jack Nicklaus (1990 Kaulig Companies Championship). Steven Alker, the Charles Schwab Cup leader coming in, needed to finish in a two-way T5 or better if Harrington won the event to secure the cup and did so easily, shooting a 3-under 68 on Sunday to finish at 19 under and in solo third.
