RSM Classic

Welcome back, golf fans! This will represent our final week together for the 2022 calendar year, as the brief winter break arrives after this event. This gives us one last chance to make some money in 2022! The RSM Classic is on the table for us this week, and we do have a relatively strong field here compared to some of the other fall swing tournaments. It should be a fun cap to a crazy year.

As for the event, this tournament will be played on two courses prior to the cut. That is necessary in order for the tournament to have allow a full 156 golfer field while still being able to finish the rounds during the limited daylight hours that we have at this time of year. The Seaside Course will host both weekend rounds, while each player will play one round on the Plantation Course prior to the cut. Both courses are short at around 7,000 yards, while the Seaside Course is a par 70 and the Plantation Course is a par 72. Both courses tend to play relatively easy, averaging between 1-2 strokes under par per round depending on weather conditions. As always, scores get worse if the winds pick up. Most golfers agree that this venue does not prioritize distance off the tee. Ball striking and approach play will once again be paramount, as is usually the case on these shorter courses. Course history is also a bit of a bonus here, as the same golfers do tend to play well here quite often (look at the history of players like Webb Simpson and Kevin Kisner, who naturally aren’t long hitters off the tee).
