RSM Classic Predictions: J.T. to Post a score at Sea Island
The RSM Classic on the PGA Tour is held at the picturesque Seaside and Plantation courses at Sea Island Golf Club in Georgia.
The event serves as not just another tournament, but a pivotal moment for players to finish the season strong, secure status and gain momentum heading into the next year.
As always, the two‐course format and championship layout demand precision off the tee, sharp iron play and a confident short game. The Seaside Course in particular is exposed to sea breezes and features fairways patterned by bunkers, waste areas and marshland.
With all that in mind, here are two players who are well positioned to contend in Georgia this week.
Brian Harman – 22/1
Brian Harman brings a strong profile into the RSM Classic. A resident of Sea Island and previously successful on the PGA Tour, his familiarity with the course environment gives him an edge. He also claimed the Valero Texas Open earlier in 2025, showing that he can convert form into a win.
Harman’s strength is in precision, particularly on a course like Seaside, where avoiding mistakes matters more than overpowering the field. He fits the template of a smart competitor who can handle the tricky greens and wind. His local knowledge and comfort in these conditions make him a serious threat.
For Harman to win, he’ll need to fire on all cylinders; the putter must click, and his iron game must stay sharp. With the wind likely to play a factor, staying mentally engaged will be key.
Expect Harman to be in contention come Sunday.
J.T. Poston – 28/1
J.T. Poston enters this week with some momentum and a game that suits Sea Island’s test.
Poston is tracking well. He has a proven short game, a measured approach, and less pressure than some of the flashier names, which can be an advantage in this kind of tournament. His accuracy off the tee and in approach is very compatible with a course that demands elite shot making abilities.
He needs a weekend surge and must execute under pressure over the final rounds and avoid getting dragged into a high‐variance slugfest. Being under the radar might help reduce external pressure.
Poston offers excellent value at 28/1. He may not be the biggest name, but the smarter play may lie in identifying him as a dark horse who can surge into contention and challenge for the trophy.
Between Harman and Poston, this week’s RSM Classic offers two stories: one of home knowledge, the other of rising confidence and underrated upside.
This event represents a late season showcase where form, strategy and execution play a role. If either player locks into their game plan and navigates the Sea Island challenge, we could well see one of them lifting the trophy at the end of the week.
