The FedExCup Fall slate wraps up this week with the 2025 RSM Classic at Sea Island Golf Club in Saint Simons Island, Georgia. It’s the final event on the 2025 schedule before the regular season begins again in January. The first round begins on Thursday morning.
Below, we look at RSM Classic odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.
Among the big names in the field this week are Harris English (+2200), Michael Thorbjornsen (+2500), Si Woo Kim (+2500) and Brian Harman (+2800). The last 2 champions here, Maverick McNealy and Ludvig Aberg, are not in the field, but 2022 champion Adam Svensson (+9000) is teeing it up.
The RSM Classic will be played across 2 courses at Sea Island Resort: The Seaside Course and Plantation Course, with everyone playing the Seaside Course on Saturday and Sunday. Both are short courses at 7,005 yards for the Seaside and 7,060 yards for the Plantation. The former is a par 70 and the latter is a par 72, so scoring opportunities will come more often on the Plantation Course. The winning score has been between 14-under and 29-under every year since 2010, with Aberg going especially low in 2023 at 29-under par.

RSM Classic – Expert picks
Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 5:41 p.m. ET.
Brian Harman (+2800)
Harman is from Savannah so he knows all about playing this style of course in Georgia, and it’s no surprise he’s had success here with 5 top-32 finishes since 2017, including a runner-up in 2022. He’s a short hitter so this course sets up well for him and his strengths.
Michael Thorbjornsen (+2500)
Thorbjornsen has been rock solid all fall, finishing between third and 37th in all 5 starts. He hasn’t exactly broken out the way some expected but he’s been incredibly consistent and could cap things off with a win at an event where he finished eighth in his debut last year.
RSM Classic picks – Contenders
Mackenzie Hughes (+5500)
Hughes finished second in 2021, second in 2023 and fifth last year at this event, so it’s almost a matter of time before he wins this event again after taking home the title in 2016. He’s missed 3 straight cuts this fall since finishing T-7 at the Procore Championship, but should feel right at home at Sea Island Resort.
Nico Echavarria (+4500)
Echavarria is a very good wind player and seems to excel at seaside courses, winning the Puerto Rico Open in 2023 over Akshay Bhatia. He was the runner-up here last year and finished 44th the year prior, improving each season he’s played this event.
RSM Classic picks – Long shots
Taylor Montgomery (+10000)
Montgomery has only played this event 3 times, but he’s had solid showings each time, finishing 15th in 2022, eighth in 2023 and 42nd last year. He tied for 34th at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship in his last start and also finished sixth at the Sanderson Farms Championship in October.
Greyson Sigg (+9000)
Sigg finished 15th and eighth in consecutive years here in 2022 and 2023. His best finish this fall was a T-15 at the Black Desert Championship, making cuts in every start since September.
