The RSM Classic Odds and Picks

The last event of the PGA Tour season takes place this week in St. Simons Island, Georgia with The RSM Classic. The Top 125 will be set following this tournament so players around the cut line are all entered this week. All 19 players from Nos. 122-140 in the FedExCup Fall standings will be teeing it up this week. The defending champion of The RSM Classic, Ludvig Aberg, is also in the field and he is the betting favorite. Aberg is ranked No. 5 in the world so this will be a rare occasion where a FedExCup Fall event will have a top player competing. Aberg is listed as the favorite at PROLINE+ at odds of 11-1. It was another favorite losing last week, as Seamus Power was never in contention. Let’s look at The RSM Classic odds and picks.

Favorite

Ludvig Aberg 11-1

It should go without saying now that golf favorites are a losing proposition. Week after week on the PGA Tour the golf betting favorite goes down on defeat. It has been even more pronounced in the FedExCup Fall Schedule since very few of the top players are in the field each week.  The only favorite on the PGA Tour worth betting on occasion is Scottie Scheffler and he doesn’t play the FedExCup Fall Tour. This week it is Aberg who is favored and while he is at least considered a top player and has a better chance than some of the recent PGA Tour golf betting favorites, he is listed as the favorite so that means I am not taking him.

Golf Picks

Si Woo Kim 25-1

There are not many instances where I will take Kim but on short courses where putting is important, Kim can do well. All four of his PGA Tour wins have been on Bermudagrass greens. I think he has a chance this week and we get 25-1 in golf betting odds.

Denny McCarthy 29-1

Is this where McCarthy finally get his first PGA Tour win?  This is a perfect spot for him, as the field isn’t that strong, he played well in the event a year ago, and his putting is a huge advantage on this course.  I’ll take a shot with McCarthy this week.

Ben Griffin 30-1

I will come back and take another shot with Griffin. He finished 8^th last week and he should do well this week on his home course at Sea Island. He is another player who thrives on shorter courses and on Bermudgrass. I give him a good chance to contend this week.

Harris English 34-1

One of the players in the field this week that knows how to win is English. And he is one of the better putters in the field and we know how important putting will be this week.  English ranks 10^th on the PGA Tour in Strokes Gained: Putting. I’ll take him at odds of 34-1.

Mackenzie Hughes 36-1

Another player who is an excellent putter is Hughes, as he ranks 3^rd on the PGA Tour in putting. He played well in this event a year ago finishing 2^nd and I see no reason he can’t contend again this week and his odds are attractive at 36-1.

Taylor Moore 60-1

It could be time for Moore to challenge for another win. He has just one PGA Tour win but he finished 2^nd in Houston and he likes to play on Bermudagrass greens. He still has a shot at the AON Next 10 if he can get a big finish this week and he has played well on this course in the past with good finishes as an amateur on the Seaside Course.

Garrick Higgo 125-1

I will throw in one bomb and go with Higgo at big odds. He has played better of late including a 17^th place finish last week and he should do well this week with Sea Island his course of choice for his training. His three DP World Tour wins came at coastal courses. I give him a chance to contend at big golf betting odds.Check out the latest RSM Classic odds at PROLINE+.
