The **FedEx Cup Playoffs** is a season-long championship competition on the PGA Tour, culminating in a three-event playoff series to crown the FedEx Cup champion. Established in 2007, it was the first playoff system introduced in men's professional golf, sponsored by FedEx since its inception[2][3]. The playoffs consist of the **FedEx St. Jude Championship**, **BMW Championship**, and the **Tour Championship**, held at prestigious courses including TPC Southwind, Caves Valley, and East Lake Golf Club respectively[1][2][3]. Players accumulate points throughout the PGA Tour regular season based on their tournament finishes. The top 70 players in the FedEx Cup standings qualify for the playoffs, with the field narrowing to 50 after the first event and then to 30 for the final Tour Championship, where the FedEx Cup champion is decided[1][2]. The playoffs feature a quadrupling of points compared to regular season events, intensifying competition and allowing for dramatic leaderboard shifts[1]. Notably, the 2025 FedEx Cup playoffs introduced a revised Tour Championship format where all 30 players start on equal footing for the 72-hole stroke play event, replacing the previous staggered scoring system[3][5]. The Tour Championship winner receives $10 million, part of a $100 million bonus pool, marking one of the richest purses in golf and sports overall[3][5]. Key achievements include Rory McIlroy holding the record with three FedEx Cup titles and Tiger Woods with two. The current champion as of 2025 is Tommy Fleetwood[3]. The playoffs attract the sport's elite, including multiple past FedEx Cup winners and top-ranked global players, making it a marquee event on the PGA Tour calendar[4][6]. Beyond competition, the FedEx Cup Playoffs have enhanced fan engagement by introducing a playoff structure and significant financial incentives, driving innovation in golf tournament formats and business partnerships, such as the alliance with St
