How the FedExCup playoffs work
The FedExCup Playoffs are a series of three tournaments that determine the PGA Tour Player of the Year. The top 70 players in the FedExCup rankings after the regular season qualify for the first playoff event, the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
The format is based on a points system, with players earning points based on their tournament results over the course of the season. The playoffs increase the competition, with the first two events awarding quadruple FedEx Cup points.
After the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the field is whittled down to the top 50 players who advance to the BMW Championship. The final event, the Tour Championship, features a unique staggered entry format where players begin the tournament with strokes based on their FedEx Cup rankings. The lowest-scoring player at the Tour Championship is crowned FedEx Cup champion and receives a sizable bonus.
The FedEx Cup Playoffs are an exciting climax to the PGA Tour season, where the best golfers compete for the ultimate prize.
