The RSM Classic H osted by 21-time PGA TOUR Champion, 2017 World Golf Hall of Fame inductee, and Golden Isles resident Davis Love III, The RSM Classic has become a highly anticipated annual event, drawing top players and spectators to the Sea Island Golf Club for challenging play plus family activities and entertainment. For the PGA TOUR player who travels upwards of 50,000 miles a year, The RSM Classic has become a working vacation. For players like Matt Kuchar, Zach Johnson, Keith Mitchell and a host of other PGA TOUR players, it’s an opportunity to showcase their hometown seaside community. And for spectators, the laid- back vibe means gorgeous scenery, Southern hospitality, and the chance to watch a PGA TOUR event in an intimate venue. Davis Love III’s vision for the event in his hometown has been simple: Give players an enjoyable but demanding test at Sea Island Golf Club, and do it in a relaxed setting that offers a wonderful experience for pros, their families, caddies, sponsors, volunteers, media and spectators. From exciting play during the day to popular sold-out events in the evenings, The RSM Classic offers numerous ways to have fun on and off the course. The annual Tuesday night Wiffle® Ball game, benefiting Blessings in a Backpack, sees friendly, yet spirited competition between PGA TOUR players and their wives. Saturday night brings entertainment that is anything but subpar. The RSM Concert Event has featured headliners and country music superstars including Jake Owen, Cole Swindell and Darius Rucker. The RSM Classic has impacted the lives of thousands in the Golden Isles and across the nation through charitable contributions totaling more than $13 million since its inception. The Davis Love Foundation was established in 2005 to support local, regional, and national community-based programs that focus on children and families. “Our Foundation is committed to positively impacting children and family charities through the dollars raised by The RSM Classic,” said Davis Love III. “It is our privilege to continue the PGA TOUR’s tradition of giving back.” Learn more at rsmclassic.com.
