Taylor shot 6-under 66 in the final round on Sunday, which left him tied with Fleetwood atop the leaderboard at -17 overall. The two of them went back and forth on the first three playoff holes before the 35-year-old closed the show with his mind-blowing putt, which was the longest of his career.
Sunday's win continues a solid 2023 season for Taylor, as he also finished as runner-up at the WM Phoenix Open in February.
Next up on the PGA Tour schedule is the U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club starting on Thursday.
