For one of men’s elite golf’s biggest circuits, the DP World Tour, the new season is just beginning with the BMW Australian PGA Championship. However, for the PGA Tour, this week sees the final event of the 2024 season.
The RSM Classic comes from Sea Island Golf Club in Georgia, as the FedEx Cup Fall concludes and the 125 full PGA Tour cards for the 2025 season are confirmed.
Those who finish between 126 and 150 in the FedEx Cup standings will have conditional status for the 2025 season, but players who finish lower than 125th will still have the opportunity to improve or regain their status via PGA Tour Q-school.
While the battle to stand above the cut-off in the standings will be the primary concern for many in this week’s field, there is also a sizeable financial incentive for the 156 players, even though it is a smaller prize fund than the 2023 edition.
Back then, players competed for a share of an $8.4m purse, but that is down to $7.6m this year. Even with that reduction, there is still a first prize of $1.368m, while the runner-up will scoop $828,400.
Below is the prize money payout for the RSM Classic.
