The PGA Tour will wrap up the FedExCup Fall portion of the schedule this week with the 2024 RSM Classic at Sea Island Golf Club in St. Simons Island, Georgia. The first round will begin on Thursday morning where Ludvig Aberg will try to defend his title.
Below, we look at RSM Classic odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s PGA Tour odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.
Aberg is the headliner in the field, coming into the week with pre-tournament odds of +1000. Davis Thompson has the second-best odds (+2200), with 5 others tied at +2800 – including J.T. Poston and Seamus Power. Former Open champion Brian Harman (+3000) is also teeing it up in his home state this week.
This event will be played at 2 courses: the Seaside Course and Plantation Course. Neither is terribly long, with the Plantation Course playing at 7,060 yards and the Seaside at 7,005 yards. The Seaside Course is a links layout, while the Plantation Course is a more traditional layout with tree-lined fairways, waste areas and water hazards.

RSM Classic – Expert picks
Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of PGA Tour odds. Lines last updated Monday at 4:04 p.m. ET.
Harris English (+3000)
English has played this tournament in each of the last 9 years, making the cut 5 times with 4 top-30 finishes. His best finish was sixth in 2020 and he comes into the week having played well this fall with finishes of T-6, T-9 and T-14 in his last 3 starts.
Ben Griffin (+2800)
Griffin hasn’t finished worse than 22nd in his last 3 starts so he enters the week in good form. He’s fresh off a solo eighth at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, too, finishing only 6 shots off the champion at 19-under par. In his last 2 starts in this event, he’s come in 29th and 8th.

RSM Classic picks – Contenders
Lucas Glover (+4500)
Glover feels like a good value at +4500. Since 2015, he has 3 top-25 finishes, including a ninth place in 2015 and 11th in 2018. Plus, he has 3 top-15 finishes in his last 6 starts this season. We might be getting a little bit of a discount, too, after he shot 6-over on Sunday in Bermuda to drop from 12-under, which would’ve been ninth, to 42nd.
Patrick Rodgers (+4000)
Rodgers shot 1-under in Sunday’s round in Bermuda to finish ninth, his second straight top-25 and third in his last 4 starts. In his last start at the RSM Classic, he finished 10th in 2022 and was the runner-up in 2018.
RSM Classic picks – Long shots
Henrik Norlander (+10000)
Norlander has started in this event 8 times in the last 9 years with his best finish being a runner-up in 2016. He also came in fifth in 2019, so he has some experience at Sea Island Golf Club. His play has tapered off a little bit as the fall has progressed, but he did come in 8th in the Black Desert Championship and 30th in the World Wide Technology Championship.
