If you’re stuck inside wishing you could get out on the golf course, then the PGA Tour’s late November stop at Long Island might have you feeling rather jealous.
It’s the RSM Classic this week, which is held at the picturesque Sea Island Resort in Georgia. This resort along with the end of the year atmosphere makes for a pretty relaxed week, where many players will be prioritising relaxation over performance. After this, we’re into limited field tournaments and parent and child exhibitions.
The tournament is held over two courses at the resort, the Plantation and the Seaside. Both courses lend themselves to pretty tidy scoring, with something around the 20-under-par mark probably required to compete for the trophy.
The event was known as the McGladrey Classic up until 2015, when the title sponsorship was handed over to RSM.
Last year, it was Talor Gooch who won here, his first and, to this date, only title on the PGA Tour. For obvious reasons, the LIV Golf player won’t be defending that crown.
Let’s take a look at the details ahead of the week.
