The final event of the 2021 swing season has arrived. The PGA Tour heads just south of Augusta for the RSM Classic at Sea Island Golf Club (Seaside and Plantation courses) in Saint Simons Island, Ga.

Each golfer will play three rounds on the Seaside course and one round on the Plantation course.

The Seaside course is a Par 70 layout, measuring 7,005 yards and the Plantation course is a Par 72 set-up coming in at 7,062 yards. The Seaside course plays more like a coastal links course re-designed by Tom Fazio, while the Plantation course is similar to a tree-lined parkland course. Both feature bermudagrass greens and both will be very scoreable. The past three winners of the event have all finished at 19-under par and won in a playoff.

Some notable players in the field include: Harris English, Russell Henley, Max Homa, Joaquin Niemann, Louis Oosthuizen, Justin Rose, Scottie Scheffler, Adam Scott and Cameron Smith.

Let’s take a look at each DraftKings price range and identify the best plays for each in GPP’s.

10,000+

Harris English $10,000

Although there are some recent concerns with his game, Harris English is a great fit for Sea Island. In his past 10 rounds, English is gaining 1.9 strokes on the field in “Good Drives Gained” (where the player either hits the fairway off the tee or the player misses the fairway but still hits the green or fringe in regulation). The 32-year-old is also a very good putter on Bermuda, gaining an average of 0.36 strokes per round on the field in the category.

The former Georgia Bulldog is extremely comfortable playing in the area, which is evidenced by his sixth-place finish last year. English should feel right at home in this tournament and has the right skill set to emerge victorious at Sea Island.

English should come in lower owned than the rest of the golfers in his price range and offer just as much upside.

Projected Ownership: 10%

9,000+

Adam Scott $9,000:

It is concerning that Scott lost over 4 strokes on approach last week in Houston, but I am willing to accept that as a blip rather than a more ominous sign of things to come. Prior to that, the Aussie had gained strokes on approach in 6 consecutive measured events. Sea Island has a lot of similarities to Sedgefield Country Club, where Scott would have won back in August if not for missing a 4-foot putt on the 18th green. Scott should come in with far less ownership than Russell Henley, Kevin Kisner, and Corey Conners from the 9k range.

Projected Ownership: 13%

8,000+

Justin Rose $8,800:

When analyzing Rose’s past 50, 36 and 24 rounds, he ranks in the field in Strokes Gained: Total on Par 70 layouts under 7,200 yards that feature Bermudagrass greens. Regardless of timeframe, there’s no denying this type of course is the ideal fit for the 41-year-old.

Although he missed the cut in his only previous start at the course, Rose does have some success at similar courses. I’m also willing to chalk up his poor performance last year being due to the event being held the week after The Masters, where he finished in 23rd place.

The Englishman doesn’t play too often on the PGA Tour but always shows up to the events that he knows he will be able to compete. Back in August, Rose played in the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club and finished in 10th place despite being in some very shaky form overall. Rose arrives at Sea Island in similar form, but there’s no doubt that this is a course where Rose can find himself in contention.

Rose is objectively my favorite play on the board this week because I feel this price will provide a massive leverage spot on the field in large GPP’s.

Projected Ownership: 6.5%

7,000+

Matt Kuchar $7,900:

Another Sea Island resident who I expect to have a great deal of success this week is Matt Kuchar. After a long stretch of uninspiring golf, the 43-year-old is starting to show signs of life at just the right time. He finished 22nd at Mayakoba and looked a lot more like the consistent Matt Kuchar that golf fans had grown accustomed to watching for the past 20 years.

While his short term form is admittedly questionable, there is no denying that Sea Island is a dream fit for Kuchar. In his past 50 rounds, he ranks 6th in Strokes Gained: Total on Par 70 layouts under 7,200 yards that feature Bermudagrass greens. “Kuch” has already won on similar short tracks with victories at both the Sony Open and RBC Heritage in his career.

If he is indeed back, this price is an absolute steal.

Projected Ownership: 11.5%

6,000+

Scott Piercy $7,000:

The 43-year-old is fresh off of a masterful iron performance in Houston, where he gained 7.0 strokes on approach, which led the field. He finished in 19th place, which was his second top 20 finish in his past five starts.

Additionally, Piercy has shown he enjoys Sea Island and finished 18th last year at the RSM Classic. He also has some good finishes in his career at shorter Bermuda tracks with a 15th place finish at Sedgefield Country Club last season, and a 3rd place finish at Harbour Town Golf Links in 2019.

Although he isn’t a great putter, Bermudagrass is Piercy’s preferred green type and has gotten hot on the surface recently. In 2021, he gained more than 4.0 strokes putting on the field at both Congaree Golf Club and Sedgefield Country Club, so he certainly capable of matching a hot putter with his currently scorching irons.

Projected Ownership: 3.5%
