2022 RSM Classic odds, field notes, expert picks to win

2020 RSM Classic

The last PGA Tour event of the year that awards FedEx Cup points is here, as the best players in the world are in Georgia for the RSM Classic at Sea Island Golf Club in St. Simons Island.

For the first two days, players will play both the Seaside Course and Plantation Course before the Seaside Course is used for both weekend rounds.

After his four-shot win last week, Tony Finau enters as the betting favorite at +900. This will be Finau’s second RSM appearance but first since the Plantation Course was added to the rotation in 2015.

Jason Day, one of the other marquee names in the field, sits at +2000 after four quality starts in a row (T-8, T-11, T-21, T-16).

Not a great week in Texas. Jason Day was my highest finisher at T-16 but another week without the outright winner.

Down four units on the week, up 26.5 units for the season.
