The heart of the Golden Isles: History, hospitality, and the Sea Island stage
Sea Island Golf Club’s timeless appeal
At the core of The RSM Classic’s charm lies its prestigious host: Sea Island Golf Club, a destination defined by Southern grace and elite golf pedigree. Nestled on St. Simons Island, the tournament unfolds across two courses—the Seaside and Plantation—which offer a blend of coastal drama and strategic design.
The Seaside Course, a Tom Fazio redesign, features rolling dunes and expansive views of the Atlantic. Meanwhile, the Plantation Course, reimagined by Davis Love III and Mark Love, complements its sister course with towering live oaks and thoughtfully contoured fairways. This dual-course setup creates a compelling tournament format that demands both precision and patience.
Founded in 2010, The RSM Classic quickly established itself as a PGA TOUR favorite. Hosted by native Georgian Davis Love III, it maintains a spirit of familiarity that’s rare in professional golf—where fans cheer on hometown heroes and returning champions alike from just a few feet away.
Legacy moments and champions who left their mark
Star-studded victories with unforgettable finishes
The RSM Classic has consistently attracted top-tier talent—and delivered edge-of-your-seat drama in return. Past champions like Robert Streb (a two-time winner), Talor Gooch, and Charles Howell III have all clinched emotional victories here, reinforcing just how special this event is in the TOUR calendar.
One of the most iconic moments came in 2020, when Streb outdueled Kevin Kisner in a playoff, earning redemption and a rare repeat win. More recently, 2023’s thrilling finish saw Ludwig Åberg, the rising Swedish phenom, secure his maiden PGA TOUR win, cementing Sea Island’s reputation as a proving ground for golf’s next elite.
Beyond the trophy, many RSM Classic participants have gone on to Ryder Cup glory, Major contention, or a rapid rise in global rankings—making this stop a favorite for fans tracking the next big breakout.
Why The RSM Classic is more than a tournament—it’s your fall golf escape
Golden Isles charm, close-up access, and a one-of-a-kind vibe
The RSM Classic invites you not just to watch world-class golf—but to experience it in a setting that feels as personal as it does professional. Here’s why the 2025 edition should be on your calendar:
- Scenic intimacy: Few TOUR stops offer views like this—marshlands, sea breezes, and golden sunsets wrap around every green and grandstand.
- Player accessibility: From warmups to walk-offs, fans at Sea Island get closer to the action—and the athletes—than almost anywhere else on TOUR.
- Family-friendly fun: With kid zones, local food trucks, and relaxed viewing areas, it’s a weekend the entire family can enjoy.
- Off-course events: From charity 5Ks to live music and VIP dinners, the week is filled with energy, giving you much more than golf to explore.
And perhaps most importantly, this is an event that feels like a community celebration. Whether you’re mingling with pros at a charity gala or watching a playoff from the ropes, there’s a warmth to The RSM Classic that makes it unforgettable.
