The'2022 RSM Classic at Sea Island Resort in St. Simons Island, Georgia, is the next event on the PGA Tour schedule, though it lacks a bit of star power following Tony Finau's withdrawal on Tuesday afternoon. That news came after Finau won the Cadence Bank Houston Open last week.
Below, we look at the 2022 RSM Classic odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.
Finau was the biggest name in the field and the betting favorite to win this week. Following his withdrawal, four players now lead the field as the favorites:'Seamus Power, Brian Harman, Jason Day (all at +2000) and Sahith Theegala (+4000). Last year’s champion, Talor Gooch, will not be playing this week after he joined the LIV tour.
The Sea Island Resort has hosted this event since it joined the PGA Tour schedule in 2010. The pros will be playing 2 courses on the resort this week: Seaside and Plantation. They’re both very short courses — 7,005 for Seaside, 7,060 for Plantation. The Seaside course is a par 70, while the Plantation track is a par 72, so scoring opportunities will vary. The Seaside course is a links-style layout along the water with some great views of the Atlantic.
