FedExCup Playoffs qualification
The FedEx Cup is a season-long points competition with a bonus fund of $100 million. The competition begins in January and ends in August, with 36 official events, including THE PLAYERS Championship, major championships, Signature Events, Full-Field Events, and Additional Events.
Members of the TOUR earn FedExCup points based on their performance at each tournament, with an emphasis on wins and high finishes. The top 70 players in the FedExCup standings are eligible for the FedExCup Playoffs, which is a series of three events: the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the BMW Championship, and the TOUR Championship. The FedEx St. Jude Championship is the first playoff event of the season, featuring the top 70 golfers on the PGA Tour. The top 50 finishers in the FedExCup after this event move on to the BMW Championship, and the top 30 players in the FedExCup standings after the BMW Championship advance to the TOUR Championship.
The TOUR Championship is played as a 72-hole stroke-play event, with all players starting the tournament at even par. The player with the lowest aggregate score over 72 holes when combined with his FedEx Cup Starting Strokes wins the FedEx Cup and a bonus of $10 million. The winner also receives a five-year exemption on the PGA Tour.
The rules of the FedEx Cup Playoffs have undergone several changes since their introduction in 2007. Initially, the rules allowed players to win the Cup without finishing the final event. However, changes were made in 2008 to ensure that the championship would only be awarded after every golfer who qualified had finished playing the final playoff event. Other changes have been made to give more golfers a chance to improve their positions on the points list as the playoffs progress and to penalize players who skip playoff events.

BMW Championship qualification
The BMW Championship is a professional golf tournament that is the penultimate FedEx Cup playoff event on the PGA Tour schedule. The Western Golf Association, which founded and ran the Western Open (as it was previously known), continues to run the BMW Championship.
The 2025 BMW Championship field is locked in at 50 players, following a dramatic first leg of the postseason. This is a reduction from 70 players in the FedEx St. Jude Championship. The tournament will be hosted at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland, from August 14-17. The purse for the tournament is $20,000,000.
Only the top 30 players will make it to the season-finale Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club. This means that another 20 players will see their seasons end at the BMW Championship. Some notable names outside the top 30 include Xander Schauffele, Rickie Fowler, Jason Day, and Matt Fitzpatrick. These players will need solid performances to advance to the Tour Championship.
Some of the players who have qualified for the BMW Championship include Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay, Xander Schauffele, Tommy Fleetwood, and J.J. Spaun.

FedExCup points system
The FedEx Cup is a season-long points competition with $100 million in bonus money and culminates in the FedExCup Playoffs in August. The 2025 FedExCup season features 36 official events, including THE PLAYERS Championship, major championships, Signature Events, Full-Field Events, and Additional Events.
The first two Playoffs events award 2,000 points to the winner, while the Playoffs Finale, the TOUR Championship, is a 72-hole stroke-play event with all players starting at even par. Only players who are PGA TOUR members or become members during the season will be listed on the FedExCup standings. Amateurs are not eligible to earn FedExCup points.
FedExCup points are distributed based on players' finish at each tournament, emphasizing wins and high finishes. There are a total of 15 events that award 700 or more points to the winner, including THE PLAYERS Championship and majors (five each), FedExCup Playoffs events (two), and Signature Events (eight). The points are distributed to those in tying positions using the same method for distributing prize money in the event of a tie. For example, if four golfers tie for fifth place, the points for fifth through eighth place are summed and divided by four, with each golfer receiving an equal share.
The FedExCup Playoffs begin with the FedEx St. Jude Championship, which was won by Justin Rose in 2025. The top 50 finishers in the FedExCup after this event advance to the BMW Championship, extending their season and earning spots in the following year's Signature Events.
