TPC Boston Bellerive Country Club East Lake Golf Club 120 for Deutsche Bank 70 for BMW Championship 30 for Tour Championship The 2008 FedEx Cup Playoffs, the series of four golf tournaments that determined the season champion on the U.S.-based PGA Tour, were held from August 21 to September 28. They consisted of four events:

The Barclays
Deutsche Bank Championship
BMW Championship
The Tour Championship

These were the second FedEx Cup playoffs since their inception in 2007. After the first three events, Vijay Singh was assured of winning the 2008 FedEx Cup as long as he completed all four rounds of The Tour Championship without disqualification, which he proceeded to do. Tiger Woods, having topped the regular season points list after playing in only six events, did not play in the FedEx Cup Playoffs due to knee surgery.

The point distributions can be seen here.
