The 2009 FedEx Cup Playoffs, the series of four golf tournaments that determined the season champion on the U.S.-based PGA Tour, began on August 27 and ended on September 27. It included the following four events:
- The Barclays — Liberty National Golf Club, Jersey City, New Jersey
- Deutsche Bank Championship — TPC Boston, Norton, Massachusetts
- BMW Championship — Cog Hill Golf & Country Club, Lemont, Illinois
- The Tour Championship — East Lake Golf Club, Atlanta, Georgia
For the second time in the three-year history of the playoffs, Tiger Woods won the FedEx Cup.
These were the third FedEx Cup playoffs since their inception in 2007. Substantial changes were made to the point structures, playoff reset of points, and field sizes for 2009.[1][2]
