PGA Tour Preview: Betting The RSM Classic

• The PGA Tour heads to Sea Island Golf Club in Golden Isles Georgia for the RSM Classic, where Webb Simpson is the betting favorite at +850 odds.
• Notable names in the field include Sungjae Im (+1800), Tyrrell Hatton (+1800), Tommy Fleetwood (+2500), Louis Oosthuizen (+2800), Jason Day (+3300), and Justin Rose (+4000).

GOLDEN ISLES, Ga. – Following a unique yet successful Masters Tournament, the PGA Tour takes a quick trip to the coast for the 2020 RSM Classic.

While much of the top players from the Tour, including Masters Champion Dustin Johnson, will be taking the week off, there is still plenty of talent to be found throughout the field.

Tournaments like these are the perfect time for bettors to take advantage of some unknown rising stars and beat the bookies for big money. The field is huge this weekend, with plenty of smaller names looking to prove they belong.

Full betting odds for the tournament are available via the legal online sportsbooks.

With such a large field to work with, bettors can get overwhelmed when it comes to choosing their picks for the tournament. Many of the players in the field have taken some time off from the game, with some notable names having played at Augusta National last weekend.

These players have an advantage, not being fresh from the Masters, but also having played these unusual November Georgia conditions.

Webb Simpson +850

Webb has had a great 2020 and is fresh off of a seventh-place finish in the Masters last week.

Simpson owns two second-place finishes at this tournament and would love to finally breakthrough with a win. While Webb has been a great pick this year, there might be better value to be found further down the board.

Sungjae Im +1800

One of the best golf betting choices for this weekend is 22-year-old Sungjae Im, who just scored a runner-up finish at the Masters. If not for Dustin Johnson’s domination, Im could have been the one putting on the green jacket with his score of 15-under-par.

While he isn’t the longest out of the box, Im shows his prowess with his iron play and putting, easily the most important facets for a tournament like this.

Corey Conners +3300

One of the best plays out of the mid-tier is Canadian Corey Connors. Connors finished T-10 at the Masters with a score of 9-under-par and hasn’t missed a cut in his last five events. Connors has been a leaderboard staple in 2020 and would love to continue his momentum from Augusta at the RSM Classic.

C.T. Pan +7000

In terms of longshots, there are tons of great candidates for a small bet this weekend. C.T. Pan is one of the leading candidates, again due to his play throughout the year and at the Masters last week. Pan shot 10-under-par and was one of the leaders of the whole tournament in strokes gained from approach. If Pan can play that same game once again, he will be able to make a run at the leaderboard.
