Ready to bet on this week’s 2017 RSM Classic betting odds? The PGA Tour continues it’s tour outside of the United States, this time with a stop at St. Simons Island. The RSM Classic features a full field, with a lot of big names getting in one last tournament before Thanksgiving.

With all of that in mind who should we be keeping an extra eye on this week? Let’s break it down.
2017 RSM Classic Favorites:
Kevin Kisner +1600
Kevin Kisner comes into this tournament as the favorite to win it all, which should come as no surprise as he has won here before.
In 2015 he took home the victory in ease winning by six shots over Kevin Chappell. Besides his win he also has a second and third place finish here.

He should be rolling in here with a lot of confidence, and i would expect him to be near the top of the leader-board this whole tournament.
Webb Simpson +2000
Web Simpson is another guy who has had some success at this course, although he has never won the event. He has played five events here, and made the cut each time.
He also finished runner up in 2011 in this event, and has two top ten finishes. Although he isn’t really rolling coming into this event, he should have confidence with how he has played.
2017 RSM Classic Contenders:
Jamie Lovemark +3300
Jamie Lovemark isn’t a guy who’s style of play you would think would do well at the Sea Island Golf Club, but he has made two starts out here, and each time finished in the top ten.
Thursday is going to be the key day for him, as he isn’t going to be able to make a late charge late. If he wants to win, he needs to make sure that he is near the top of the leader-board early on in this tournament.
Graeme McDowell +5000
Graeme McDowell has liked the seaside courses in the past, and has had success at this one, finishing 3rd at this event in 2015.
[dfads params=’groups=247&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
Earlier this year, he was struggling with driving the ball, but he has played a pretty full slate of fall golf and seems to have it figured it out.
If he can continue to hit the ball long, and accurately, he should be up there with a chance to win on Sunday.
2017 RSM Classic Open Sleeper (+7000 or higher):
Ben Martin +12500
If you are looking for a sleeper this is your guy.
He has missed the last two cuts, but before those two tournaments he was playing pretty well including finishing tied for 17th place at the Safeway Open.
He is also at a really good price because of his two missed cuts, and I think he could have a chance to win this weekend.
2017 RSM Classic Open Picks:
The guy I do really like is – Jamie Lovemark +3300 to have a nice tournament and end up on top on Sunday Afternoon.
This has been a good course for him, and I think that this is finally the week that he comes out ahead and raises the trophy.
