Jimenez carded nine birdies on a bogey-free final day at the County Club of Virginia to end the week on 18 under, with overnight leader Tolles eagling the last to finish runner-up ahead of Colin Montgomerie.
Starting the day two strokes back, Jimenez moved ahead with four birdies in a six-hole stretch from the fourth and posted back-to-back gains from the 11th to extend his advantage.
The 55-year-old added further birdies at the 14th and 15th before sealing victory by picking up a shot at the par-five last, lifting him to 10th in the season-long standings with two play-off events remaining.
Montgomerie posted a blemish-free 68 to finish on 15 under, while Woody Austin three-putted his final two holes to finish tied-fourth alongside Bernhard Langer and Scott Parel.
The next event is the Invesco QQQ Championship in California from November 1-3, with the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship a week later.
