Conners had to outplay 54-hole leader Kim Si-woo and then had to fend off Hoffman and a streaking Ryan Moore, finishing on 20-under par at TPC San Antonio.
Graeme McDowell shot a final round of six-under par 66 to finish in a tie for seventh place on 12-under, eight shots behind Conners.
McDowell — who last week registered his first PGA Tour win since 2015 — moves up another 18 places in the world rankings to 115th.
By winning, Conners becomes the final player to qualify for the Masters when the first Major of the year tees off at Augusta National on Thursday.
