Glover followed a third-round 62 with a two-under-par 68 on Sunday to finish at 20-under 260, two strokes better than Russell Henley (69) and South Korean Byeong Hun An (67). Billy Horschel (72), who shared the lead with Glover after three rounds, faded to fourth place at 16 under.
Winning the PGA Tour's regular-season finale launched Glover from 112th place in the FedEx Cup points standings to No 49, qualifying him for the playoffs that begin next week in Memphis.
"Last time I played Memphis, I played very well, so excited to get back there," said Glover who last won on tour at the 2021 John Deere Classic. "Just let this soak in and get my body and my mind right and get back to work Tuesday or Wednesday."
Inclement weather forced a delay that lasted two hours when the top four players had just four holes to play. At that time, Glover and Henley were tied for the lead at 20 under, two strokes ahead of An.
Henley came out of the delay with a shot of momentum, making a two-putt birdie at the par-5 15th hole for the outright lead. He then missed the green at the par-3 16th and wound up finishing his round with three successive bogeys.
Glover's drive at the par-4 18th missed left but bounced off the side of a volunteer's cart, preventing his ball from ending up with an even worse lie.
Knowing he had a two-shot lead, 43-year-old Glover laid up, reached the green in three strokes and rolled in an 8-foot par putt.
Horschel needed to finish inside the top two to make the FedEx Cup Playoffs but will miss out after only moving to 90th in the standings.
Thomas first man out of FedEx Cup playoffs
Justin Thomas, a former world No 1 and two-time major champion, missed the FedEx Cup playoffs in the most excruciating way possible.
Entering this week's regular-season finale, Thomas was No 79 in the points standings and needed to crack the top 70 to qualify for the playoffs.
By finishing tied for 12th at 11 under at the Wyndham on Sunday, Thomas only improved to 71st in points - the first man out, eight points behind Ben Griffin at No 70.
