The PGA Tour now heads for its season finale event, the RSM Classic 2023, scheduled to take place from Thursday, November 16, to Sunday, November 19, at the Sea Island Golf Resort in St. Simons Island, Georgia.

The 156-player field at the RSM Classic will feature 11 of the top 50 players in the Official World Golf Ranking in action this week. The purse size of the event will be $8.4 million, and the winner will receive $1.512 million.

The RSM Classic was initially played in 2010 at the Sea Island Golf Club located in St. Simons Island, Georgia. The course was designed by acclaimed British golf architect H.S. Colt, with major assistance from his partner, Charles Alison.

However, the Seaside Course underwent a significant overhaul, and what we see today is a complete redesign by Tom Fazio. In 1999, Fazio combined the Seaside Nine and the Marshland Nine to create a new 18-hole golf course.

The newly designed course retains elements of Alison's original vision and features large clamshell bunkers, meticulously manicured fairways and greens, small putting surfaces, and sweeping dunes. Additionally, the wind contributes to an altogether different and unique experience.

Here are the details of the RSM Classic's venue, the Seaside Golf Course:
