PGA Tour Deutsche Bank Championship

By Brent Kelley, About.com

About the PGA Tour Deutsche Bank Championship:
The Deutsche Bank Championship is one of the newer tournaments on the PGA Tour, first being played in 2003. Yet, because of the sponsor's deep pockets and influence - and affiliation with Tiger Woods - the tournament is already considered a top-level event. It is the second tournament in the FedEx Cup "playoffs." This event is the only one on the PGA Tour schedule with a scheduled Monday finish (Labor Day weekend).
