The Deutsche Bank Championship is a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour, held annually over the Labor Day weekend. The tournament made its debut in 2003 and is held at the Tournament Players Club of Boston in Norton, Massachusetts. Unlike most PGA Tour events which are played Thursday through Sunday, this tournament is played Friday through Monday, with the final round on Labor Day.
The tournament became part of the FedEx Cup playoffs in 2007, with an accompanying $1.5 million increase in the purse to $7 million. The purse for 2011 is $8 million with $1.44 million to the winner. The title sponsor, Deutsche Bank, has announced it will sponsor this event in Boston through 2012.[1]
