The 2026 The American Express final leaderboard is headed by winner Scottie Scheffler, who earned the PGA Tour win in the event at PGA West's Stadium Course and two other courses in Palm Springs, California.

Scheffler won this event to earn his 20th-career PGA Tour title, winning by three shots on 27-under-par 261, beating several players for the victory and earning lifetime PGA Tour membership.

Jason Day, Andrew Putnam, Ryan Gerard and Matt McCarty all finished joint runners-up.

Blades Brown finished with a closing 2-over 74 to fall out of the top 10, but he had a great week on the PGA Tour after playing four straight days on the Korn Ferry Tour immediately beforehand.

Scheffler won the $1,656,000 winner's share of the $9,200,000 purse.
