And, just like that, we reach the final regular season event of 2024 and the end of the FedExCup Fall series as we present our Expert Picks for The RSM Classic!
The RSM Classic, held annually at the picturesque Sea Island Resort in Georgia, is a celebrated stop on the PGA Tour, combining Southern charm with world-class golf. This unique event is played across two courses: the Seaside Course, a stunning links-style track set against the Atlantic Ocean, and the Plantation Course, which features lush, tree-lined fairways and a more traditional layout. Together, they provide a variety of challenges, requiring precision off the tee and a deft touch on the greens.
Although there does not appear to be a weather bias in the draw this week, high winds and gusts are projected throughout the tournament. Particularly, this is evident in the winds forecast on Thursday and Friday. This will put even more emphasis on SG: ATG and SG: PUTT within our models this week.
This week’s field is packed with talent, from rising stars seeking their first PGA Tour victory to seasoned veterans hoping to extend their careers. With the tournament marking the final full-field event of the calendar year, it’s a crucial opportunity for players to position themselves in the FedEx Cup standings and solidify their status for the 2024 season. For those near the pivotal top-125 cutoff, this event carries even more weight, as securing a spot means retaining full PGA Tour membership for next year. Every birdie and bogey could mean the difference between competing at the highest level or facing a return to the Korn Ferry Tour.
