After the entire group started Monday's round slowly, Tiger found himself in the lead through nine holes with five skins worth $60,000. Day was in second at $30,000, while McIlroy and Matsuyama had yet to get on the board.
McIlroy finally broke through with a birdie on No. 12 to give him a share of the lead with Woods. They were deadlocked until Day snagged $80,000 with a par on No. 17.
Day then ran away with the competition thanks to a $100,000 birdie under the lights on the 18th.
