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 setup 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.

My selections to win the 2021 RSM Classic are as follows:

Harris English (+2800):

On paper, there are few golfers who fit the Seaside Course better than Harris English. 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).

Although the fairways are wide, it will be important to find the right spots off of the tee in order to be able to fire at pins on these larger than Tour average green complexes. Accurate drivers have consistently separated themselves from the pack at the RSM Classic in the past.

Another commonality that winners at Sea Island have shared is the likelihood to get it rolling with the putter on Bermudagrass greens. The 32-year-old is a very strong putter on Bermuda, gaining an average of 0.36 strokes per round on the field in the category. We have seen in the past that when Harris is rolling it well, he can make huge putts down the stretch of a golf tournament.

As a Sea Island resident, the former Georgia Bulldog is extremely comfortable playing in the area, which is evidenced by his sixth-place finish last year. In the past, golfers who reside in the area or attended the Georgia University have had a lot of success at the course, including Charles Howell III, Kevin Kisner and Chris Kirk.

English should feel right at home in this tournament and has the right skill set to emerge victorious at Sea Island.

Justin Rose (+6000):

Justin Rose might not be having his best few years on Tour, but if there is one thing he can still do, it’s take advantage of a short Bermuda track. When analyzing his 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 standout.

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 the Englishman can find himself in contention.

Matt Kuchar (+8000):

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.

It is completely fair to wonder if Kuchar’s best days are behind him and question whether or not he has the current form to win this week. However, at long odds at a course that screams “Matt Kuchar”, it’s a gamble absolutely worth taking.

Tyler Duncan (+13000):

Last year we saw a former champion win the RSM Classic for a second time in Robert Streb. A golfer who seems primed to attempt a similar feat is 32-year-old Tyler Duncan. The 2019 champion comes into the week playing his best golf in recent memory with two top 30 finishes in his past three starts.

Going back to past champions isn’t a strategy I typically use, but Sea Island seems to generate similar leaderboards on just about every renewal. Golfer’s with great course history are always a threat to play well again, as we have seen with some other players such as Webb Simpson, Kevin Kisner, and Chris Kirk.

The Seaside course has eight par-4 holes measuring between 400 and 450 yards. In his past 24 rounds, the 32-year-old ranks 1st in this field in efficiency on holes of this distance. At triple-digit odds, it makes a ton of sense to go back to Duncan on a course that seems to consistently rewards past champions.

Scott Piercy (+12500):

Scott Piercy comes into the week with two important points in his favor: current form and course form.

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 he 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 is certainly capable of matching a hot putter with his currently scorching irons.
