While players rave about the RSM Classic and it’s made for great viewing at Sea Island thanks to some compelling visuals, the field of 2019-20’s final fall stop remains one of the weakest non-opposite fields on the schedule.

Eamon Lynch of Golfweek noted that no matter how you cut it, fall events continue to struggle to have the urgency of calendar year events.

This is a head start initiative for journeymen, an opportunity to bank points and coin before the elite return to vacuum up both in the New Year.

Even one of the more prominent guys in the field admits struggling to get amped up.

“I probably have the old-school mindset that the Tour doesn’t start until January,” said Zach Johnson, one of the many players enjoying a home game at Sea Island. “I’ve got to get out of that because there’s a lot of competitive golf and motivations to play in the fall.”

Lynch goes on to note the fourth exemption of Dru Love to the field by dad/host Davis Love, despite have made just 3 of 18 cuts in Tour.
