BMW Championship

The BMW Championship was played September 6–9. All 70 players eligible to play in the event did so. There was no cut.

Rory McIlroy won his second straight playoff event. He won by two strokes over Phil Mickelson and Lee Westwood.[7] Two players played their way into the Tour Championship: Robert Garrigus (ranked 31 to ranked 20) by finishing tied for 4th, and Ryan Moore (35 to 28) by finishing T-10.[8] Two players played their way out of the Tour Championship: Kyle Stanley (30 to 31) by finishing T-34, and Bill Haas (28 to 32) by finishing T-45.[8] Haas was the defending FedEx Cup champion and this was the sixth straight year that the defending champion failed to make the Tour Championship.[8] Three players, Hunter Mahan, Phil Mickelson, and Steve Stricker, have made the Tour Championship in each year of the playoffs.[8]

The top 30 players in FedEx Cup points after this event advanced to the Tour Championship and also earned spots in the 2013 Masters Tournament, U.S. Open, and (British) Open Championship.

With the FedEx Cup points reset after the BMW Championship, all 30 remaining players have at least a mathematical chance to secure the season crown, and any of the top five players can claim the FedEx Cup with a win in the Tour Championship.
