2019 RSM Classic Preview
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.
