2019 RSM Classic Preview

November 19 2019 – THE GOLF SOCIETY

The PGA Tour ends its 2019 calendar year in Saint Simons Island, Georgia at the 10th Annual RSM Classic. Last year, Charles Howell III ended an 11-year winless drought with a playoff victory over Patrick Rodgers. This year, he will defend his title against an eager field looking to end their 2019 with a win. Past champions in the field include Kevin Kisner, Mackenzie Hughes, and Austin Cook, each of whom will try to become the first two-time winner of this event. Other notables in the field include local resident and two-time major champion Zach Johnson, along with FedEx Cup points leader Brendon Todd.

LOCATION

Sea Island Golf Club’s - Seaside and Plantation courses will host this event for the fifth time. Additionally, the Plantation course underwent a renovation this year, headed by Sea Island ambassador and local resident Davis Love III.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Harris English: Another local resident in the field, he had a great chance to end a lengthy winless drought last week at Mayakoba. He already has three top-5 finishes this season, and he should beable to put his local knowledge to good use this week.

Webb Simpson: He finished 3rd here last year, and his only start of the 2019-2020 season resulted in a tie for 7th in Las Vegas. With the Presidents Cup looming, we will want to build some momentum before heading to Melbourne in December.
