The BMW Championship was played September 15–18, after a one-week break. All 70 players eligible to play in the event did so. There was no cut.
The top 30 players in FedEx Cup points after this event advanced to the Tour Championship and also earned spots in the 2012 Masters Tournament, U.S. Open, and (British) Open Championship.
