The 2023 FedEx Cup Playoffs, the series of three golf tournaments that determined the 2022–23 season champion on the U.S.-based PGA Tour, were played from August 10–27. It included the following three events:

This was the 17th FedEx Cup playoffs since their inception in 2007. Viktor Hovland was the 2023 Champion.

The point distributions can be seen here.

The top 70 players on the FedEx Cup regular-season standings qualified for the first playoff event, down from 125; the field of the second event was reduced from 70 to 50.[1] With the PGA Tour reverting to a calendar-based schedule, the Playoffs no longer form the conclusion to the PGA Tour season, but all 70 qualifiers earned an exemption for the 2024 season regardless of results in the fall.[2] The 50 qualifiers for the BMW Championship earned entry into limited-field signature events in 2024.[3]

Regular-season rankings

The leading 10 players in the FedEx Cup regular-season standings qualified for a share of the $20 million Comcast Business Tour top 10 bonus.
