This tournament had a few big names. Thomas, DeChambeau, Cantlay are all top 10 in the world, and also Mickelson and Adam Scott.
It looks like a lot of the big names are going to kick off their 19-20 season playing the 2 PGA events and the WGC in Asia in October. 2 of them are limited field and all have huge purses, so lots of opportunities there.
The strong field this week made Hadwin's 2nd place worth a lot of ranking points, and he's jumped up to 48 in the world. If he keeps there, he'll be in all majors and WGC events. I don't think he had qualified for any of them as of last week.
