A competitive field of players will be fighting to secure their PGA Tour cards for next season at the FedEx Cup Fall finale in Georgia this weekend. Who will win the RSM Classic come Sunday?
Maverick McNealy returns to defend his title after a one-stroke victory over Daniel Berger, Luke Clanton and Nico Echavarria in 2024.
The players will tee off on the Seaside Course and Plantation Course on Thursday and Friday and complete rounds three and four on the Seaside Course.
These are our four selections who could win the title this weekend.
