The final event of the inaugural FedEx Cup Fall takes place this week at the 2023 RSM Classic. Welcoming players to Sea Island for the 13th straight season, the RSM Classic features heightened stakes as playing privileges on the PGA Tour are up for grabs over the course of the next 72 holes.
Eyes will be drawn to the top of the FedEx Cup Fall standings as Beau Hossler sits in pole position at No. 51. Headlining the group currently inside The Next 10 (Nos. 51-60), Hossler’s strong fall has earned him a place in the field at the first two signature events of 2024 — the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and Genesis Invitational.
While Hossler’s place is secure, others such as J.J. Spaun and Sam Ryder are in need of a quality outing to maintain their rank. Mark Hubbard, Stephan Jaeger, Thomas Detry and Alex Noren are on the outside looking in with plans of busting the door open. The good news for all these players is their full-time playing status for the 2024 season is secured by finishing inside the top 125 of the FedEx Cup.
Not all are as lucky. A number of young players like Matti Schmid (No. 120), Doug Ghim (No. 121) and Cameron Champ (No. 135) are still in flux. Veterans such as Patton Kizzire (No. 130), Ryan Palmer (No. 131) and Adam Long (No. 138) will need to muster together a quality four days or else likely finish the year with only conditional status.
All these players will have to contend with the event headliners, including some of Sea Island’s own. Russell Henley, Brian Harman, J.T. Poston and Brendon Todd will lead the Georgia contingent with Ludvig Åberg, Cameron Young, Corey Conners and Si Woo Kim rounding out the field for the final…
