Current Favorites to win the RSM Classic

Odd provided by FanDuel – accurate as of November 22

Ludvig Aberg (+7500 at Caesars Sportsbook)

Defending RSM Classic champion Ludvig Aberg returns to action for the first time since the Tour Championship after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. Aberg is looking to become the first back-to-back champion in the tournament’s 15-year history, and with positive memories from last year he has every right to be the favorite. Sitting number five in the official world golf rankings, the 25-year-old Swede posted closing rounds of 64-61-61 last year en route to his first and only PGA Tour title.

Davis Thompson (+50000 at Caesars Sportsbook)

One of many players in the field that call St. Simons Island home, 25-year-old Davis Thompson sits right behind Aberg in the RSM Classic odds. The winner of the John Deere Classic in July, Thompson is enjoying the finest season of his career following his maiden PGA Tour victory. This will be Thompson’s sixth straight visit to the Seaside and Plantation courses, but he hasn’t had the greatest success there with his best showing being a tie for 23^rd. Thompson now sits an impressive 40^th in the official world golf rankings as he builds on a season that has seen him record five top ten finishes.

Brian Harman (+15000 at Caesars Sportsbook)

Another Georgia resident in the field this week is 2023 British Open champion Brian Harman. The lefty has made the cut in 20 of his 22 events this year but is still in search of his first win of the season. Three top 10 finishes to go with one second place finish have highlighted the season for Harman who currently sits 24^th in the official world golf rankings. He has also excelled at the RSM Classic in previous visits here where he has made six cuts in his seven appearances, with his best showing being a tie for second in 2022 and a tie for fourth in 2017.

Si Woo Kim (+250000 at Caesars Sportsbook)

With two consecutive top six performances as he heads to Georgia for the RSM Classic, Si Woo Kim is in fine form as he looks for his fifth career title on the PGA Tour. Currently sitting 55^th in the official world golf rankings, Kim arrives at the Sea Island Golf Club having made the cut in 22 of 24 events this season. Kim will be teeing it up at the RSM Classic for the sixth time, but he has only made the cut in the event twice and his best finish is a tie for 18^th.

Denny McCarthy (+3500 at bet365 sportsbook)

Rounding out the top five players in the RSM Classic odds is Denny McCarthy who is still in search of his first career victory on the PGA Tour as he gets set to tee it up for the 189^th time in his career. His four top ten finishes this year are highlighted by a playoff loss at the Valero Texas Open earlier in the year back in April. McCarthy has missed the cut in just four of 23 events so far, as his official world golf ranking has climbed to 39^th in the world.

Taylor Moore (+50000 at Caesars Sportsbook)

Taylor Moore has had great success in his career at Sea Island Golf Club with a sixth-place finish in 2015, a fifth-place finish in 2016 and an eighth-place finish in 2021. With one career PGA Tour win that took place at the Valspar Championship last season, Moore is looking to build on a year that has seen him record a season best tie for second at the Texas Children’s Houston Open back in March. A tie for 11^th in the ZOZO Championship was followed by a missed cut at the World Wide Technology Championship.

RSM Classic debutants

Jacob Bridgeman (+6000 at DraftKings sportsbook)

PGA Tour rookie Jacob Bridgeman makes his RSM Classic debut this week as he continues to impress during his first campaign on the big tour. Bridgeman has an incredible 10 top 25 finishes this season in 26 events, yet he has zero top 10 finishes to show for it. The rookie appears remarkably close to breaking through and now could be the perfect time to hop on board. Sitting 109^th in the FedExCup Fall standings, Bridgeman is a lock to retain his PGA Tour card for 2025 and he should be in fine form this week in Georgia as he continues to search for his first win and first top 10 finish on the PGA Tour.
