The final PGA Tour tournament of the year is here with the RSM Classic at Sea Island Golf Club in St. Simons Island, Georgia. The RSM Classic marks both the end of the PGA Tour season and the conclusion of the inaugural FedExCup Fall. Tournament play begins on Thursday, November 16th and ends on Sunday, November 19th.
The top 125 on the FedExCup Fall standings at the conclusion of the golf tournament will earn their 2024 PGA Tour exemption along with entry into all full-field events and THE PLAYERS Championship.

Adam Svensson returns to the island to defend his 2022 title. The 29-year old Canadian captured his first PGA Tour victory thanks to a four-day total of 263 (19-under). Svensson defeated Brian Harman, Callum Tarren, and Sahith Theegala by two shots.
