BMW Championship

The BMW Championship was played September 4–7. Of the 70 players eligible to play in the event, only one, Dustin Johnson (ranked 22), did not play.[8] There is no cut.

Billy Horschel won by two strokes over Bubba Watson and moved to second on the points list. Two players played their way into the Tour Championship: Morgan Hoffmann (ranked 68 to ranked 21) and Ryan Palmer (37 to 23). Two players played their way out of the Tour Championship: Stuart Appleby (26 to 31) and Keegan Bradley (28 to 33).[9] Hoffmann, who started the playoffs ranked 124th, played his way into each playoff event.[10]

The top 30 players in FedEx Cup points after this event advanced to the Tour Championship and also earned spots in the 2015 Masters Tournament, U.S. Open, and (British) Open Championship.

The FedEx Cup points were reset after the BMW Championship. Points were allocated according to a player's position in the standings. The player in first place has 2,500 points, and the player in 30th has 210.[11] This means that all 30 remaining players will 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.
