The 2022 FedEx Cup Playoffs, the series of three golf tournaments that determined the 2021–22 season champion on the U.S.-based PGA Tour, was played from August 11–28.
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.
[2] Ten players who finished inside the top-125 of the standard FedExCup Standings were excluded: Talor Gooch, Jason Kokrak, Matt Jones, Hudson Swafford, Matthew Wolff, Abraham Ancer, Carlos Ortiz, Brooks Koepka, Charles Howell III, Pat Perez.
Three of these (Gooch, Jones and Swafford) failed in their attempt to gain a temporary restraining order to allow them to compete in the playoffs.
This included four players who were outside the top 70 prior to The FedEx St. Jude Championship: Lucas Glover (ranked 121st to 34th), Adam Scott (77 to 45), Andrew Putnam (87 to 47), and Wyndham Clark (79 to 70).
Four players started the tournament within the top 70 but ended the tournament outside the top 70, ending their playoff chances: Anirban Lahiri (ranked 63rd to 71st), John Huh (67 to 73), Brendon Todd (68 to 74), and Lanto Griffin (69 to 77).
Players were allocated a starting score relative to par based on their position in the standings after the BMW Championship.
