Adam Scott won by one stroke over Graham DeLaet, Justin Rose, Gary Woodland, and Tiger Woods and moved from 11th place to second place in the standings. The top 100 players in the points standings advanced to the Deutsche Bank Championship. This included five players who were outside the top 100 prior to The Barclays: Martin Kaymer, Camilo Villegas, Erik Compton, Greg Chalmers, and Stuart Appleby. Five players started the tournament within the top 100 but ended the tournament outside the top 100, ending their playoff chances: James Driscoll, Ted Potter, Jr., J. J. Henry, Geoff Ogilvy, and Jeff Overton.
The Deutsche Bank Championship was played August 30 – September 2. All 100 players eligible to play in the event did so. 76 made the second-round cut at one-under-par, 141.
Henrik Stenson won by two strokes over Steve Stricker and moved into first place in the standings. The top 70 players in the points standings advanced to the BMW Championship. This included seven players who were outside the top 70 prior to the Deutsche Bank Championship: Kevin Stadler, Brian Davis, Ian Poulter, Marc Leishman, Nicholas Thompson, Brendan Steele, and Ernie Els. Seven players started the tournament within the top 70 but ended the tournament outside the top 70, ending their playoff chances: Ryan Palmer, Fredrik Jacobson, Martin Laird, David Lingmerth, Kyle Stanley, Cameron Tringale, and Tim Clark.
The BMW Championship was played September 12–16, after a one-week break. All 70 players eligible to play in the event did so. There was no cut. The tournament was scheduled to end on September 15 but the final round could not be completed on Sunday due to rain and finished on Monday.
Zach Johnson won by two strokes over Nick Watney. Two players played their way into the Tour Championship: Watney and Luke Donald. Two players played their way out of the Tour Championship: Harris English and Lee Westwood.
The top 30 players in FedEx Cup points after this event advanced to the Tour Championship and also earned spots in the 2014 Masters Tournament, U.S. Open, and Open Championship.
With the FedEx Cup points reset after the BMW Championship, all 30 remaining players had at least a mathematical chance to secure the season crown, and any of the top five players could claim the FedEx Cup with a win in the Tour Championship.
The points were reset after the BMW Championship.
