2017 RSM Classic tee times, viewer's guide
Streeter Lecka
The PGA Tour makes its final stop of the fall this week in St. Simons Island, Ga., for the RSM Classic, which is held at Sea Island Golf Club. Hosted by Davis Love III, the tournament first two rounds take place on the resort's Seaside and Plantation courses, with the final two rounds being played on the Seaside course.
The RSM Classic was established just seven years ago, but in that short time span has provided some exciting finishes, none better than 2017's version that ended with a five-man playoff that had to be finished on Monday. Mackenzie Hughes outlasted the group and won on the third playoff hole, and he's back in the field this week to defend his lone PGA Tour title. All six of the RSM classic's other former champions will also tee it up this week, including Kevin Kisner and Ben Crane. Marquee names in this year's field include Bubba Watson, Matt Kuchar, Andrew "Beef" Johnston, Zach Johnson and Brandt Snedeker, who is playing his first event after being sidelined since June with a rare rib injury.
This week will be the last full field PGA Tour event until January, when the Sony Open is played Hawaii a week after the Sentry Tournament of Champions. In two weeks, the much-anticipated return of Tiger Woods will take place at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.
