This marks Glover's fifth time holding a 54-hole lead or co-lead on TOUR. His most recent such position came at the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship, which he won. Overall, he has converted 54-hole leads or co-leads into victories twice in four attempts.

This season spans 15 starts for Glover with two top-25 finishes. He achieved a T24 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard. He also posted a T14 at the Cadillac Championship.

A victory would secure Glover's seventh TOUR title overall. This would come in his 582nd career start on TOUR. His most recent title remains the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship.
