The PGA Tour heads to the eastern seaboard bringing the tournament calendar to a close at the idyllic Sea Island Resort in St. Simons Island, Georgia. With changes coming to the PGA Tour schedule next year, the RSM Classic will mark the last event of the fall swing season in its current format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RSM Classic has produced numerous longshot champions over the years including the likes of Robert Streb (twice), Tyler Duncan, and Austin Cook among others. Each winner here has a similar recipe for success \u2013 hit fairways, attack pins on approach, and get hot on the greens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the case with most coastal courses, the strength of the wind is the X-factor. Yet even with numerous \u201cwindy\u201d rounds, over the 12 events played here, the average winning score has been 18-under par. The data shows that both the Seaside and Plantation courses used in this event are among the easiest played on Tour in numerous statistical categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With daylight at a premium in mid-November, this event is still able to pack a full field of 156 thanks to the use of the two courses. Golfers will play both the Sea Island and Plantation courses one time before the 36-hole cut takes place with the top 65 and ties advancing on to play the weekend solely on the Seaside course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In what is typically a weak-field event here on St. Simons Island, this year\u2019s tournament feels like it has even less star power than usual. Coming off a win at last week\u2019s Houston Open, Tony Finau has established himself as an elite player on the professional stage. With three victories in the past four months, Finau has moved up to the 12th-best ranking in the world. Five other golfers in the top-40 of the OWGR will join Finau in Georgia including Brian Harman, Sepp Straka, Tom Hoge, Kevin Kisner, and FedExCup leader Seamus Power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RSM Classic has provided some memorable finishes as four of the last six editions have gone to a playoff. One of the ironies of this event is that first-time Tour winners have had more success at Sea Island than the locals who call this course their home. Numerous members of the \u201cSea Island Mafia\u201d as they are called will tee it up again this week hoping for better results including J.T. Poston, Brian Harman, Harris English, Patton Kizzire, Zach Johnson, Matt Kuchar, Keith Mitchell, Andrew Novak, Greyson Sigg, and Michael Thompson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keys To Success at Sea Island GC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As is the case for each tournament, my weekly model includes what I call the “Core 4”. Based on the data from past events at these courses, these are the four most important metrics for having success. At Sea Island, in general, fairway finders who can hit a high percentage of greens in regulation and make a ton of putts perform very well here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
