The RSM Classic is the last chance for players to earn FedEx Cup points before the calendar turns over. Who tops the power rankings at Sea Island?

The last chance to rack up FedEx Cup points until January is this week at the RSM Classic. The tournament was known as the McGladrey Classic from the tournament’s debut in 2010 through 2015.

All seven years have featured the Seaside course at Sea Island Golf Club in St. Simons Island, Georgia. This will be the third that the event includes 156 players and is spread across Sea Island’s Seaside and Plantation courses for the first two rounds.

Scoring is generally low at this event, though not to the extremes of other stops during the non-peak season. The winning score has been an average of 16-under-par.

The courses’ main defenses are hazards lurking off the tee and winds that can flare up unpredictably. It’s a links style track, though Bermuda greens and trees scattered throughout the course won’t leave you thinking you’re in Scotland. Both Seaside and Plantation are under 7,100 yards and are two of the shorter courses players will see all year.

Here’s 10 players who could enter the holiday season with a strong finish.
