The Deutsche Bank Championship is a PGA Tour golf tournament that occurs every year on Labor Day weekend. The tournament began in 2003 and is held at the Tournament Players Club of Boston in Norton, Massachusetts. The title sponsor, Deutsche Bank, has announced it will sponsor this event in Boston through 2010. Unlike most tournaments, this tournament is intended to end on a Monday due to its scheduling near Labor Day. The purse for 2007 was $7,000,000, with $1,260,000 to the winner.

The tournament was part of the FedEx Cup in 2007, which is a new playoff series of tournaments to which the overall points winner receives ten million dollars.
