The event is all set to kick off on 14th September as the championship will see a field of 174 players take on the North course. The players ranked 51st or beyond will look to compete in the tournament for points in the fall. They will start off the season with all points earned till the regular season and the St. Jude Championship.
The likes of Justin Thomas, Sahith Theegala, Eric Cole, and Cam Davis among others are headlining the tournament. Moreover, Max Homa, who has been the defending champion for two years in a row, will look to achieve his three-peat as he competes with the rest of his peers.
Aside from the prize money, there are many benefits awaiting the winner. The fall tournaments running through The RSM Classic will provide the same rewards as that of Regular season events including a two-year exemption on Tour and an entry into the next season’s first designated event, if not previously eligible. Moreover, the event offers 500 FedExCup points, spots in THE PLAYERS Championship, The Sentry, and the Majors that invite the various TOUR winners.
