The 2024 The RSM Classic purse is set for $7.6 million, with the winner's share coming in at $1,368,000 -- the standard 18 percent payout according to the PGA Tour's prize money distribution chart.
The 2024 The RSM Classic field is headed by Brian Harman, Matt McCarty, Denny McCarthy, Sepp Straka and more of the world's best players.
The 156-player field competes in the eighth and final event of the FedEx Cup Fall series on the schedule, with players earning their way into the field based on the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup standings and other eligibility.
A cut is made after 36 holes to the top 65 players and ties. All players who finish four rounds of the tournament will earn money.
The prize-money payout is based on exactly 65 players making the cut and finishing the tournament. However, in PGA Tour events with a standard 36-hole cut to the top 65 players and ties, the payout formula is adjusted to account for the exact number of players making the cut and will often include adding money to the stated purse to account for additional players.
The event is played this year at the Sea Island Golf Resort in St. Simons Island, Georgia.
This is the eighth fall PGA Tour event of the 2024 PGA Tour schedule.
What else is on the line: FedEx Cup points, OWGR points, exemptions
Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.
The winner of The RSM Classic event earns 500 FedEx Cup Fall points, as will be the case for fall events. The winner gets 39.2 Official World Golf Ranking points, with the points available based on field strength.
The champion will enjoy the benefits of winning PGA Tour event, including a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour and an exemption into next year's Masters, PGA Championship and The Players.
