2020 RSM Classic Sleeper Picks
The PGA Tour slows right down after last week's Masters to one of their last two tournaments of 2020 – The RSM Classic. One of the more unique tournaments because it is played on two different courses – The Sea Island Course and the Plantation Course it makes picking RSM Classic Sleeper Picks a little more challenging.
The RSM Classic has been on the PGA Tour schedule since 2010 but only started playing on two courses in 2015. Making sleeper picks (as well as picking favorites to win the RSM Classic) can be a bit of a challenge since one bad round on the Plantation course and the week is a loss.

RSM Classic Golf Course
Sea Island Resort
Plantation Course
As mentioned, the RSM Classic is played on two courses but players only hit the Plantation course once this week so you want to focus on how past results are on the Sea Island course which is a short Par 70 - 7005 yarder which makes it a golf course suited to short iron specialists. Driving off the tee needs some accuracy with sandy waste areas for some of the rough and although not impossible to play out of it may be a learning curve for some. Because the Sea Island course is a Par 70, there are 12 Par Fours, and only two Par fives, focus some attention on Par 4 scoring as a key stat when picking DFS golfers.
Because Sea Island is along the coast there is a constant breeze which occasionally kicks up a bit. You’ll want to look at good ball strikers this week when picking your sleepers for lineups as it requires guys slicing through the wind to stay accurate. Some other stats to look at are:
Other Key Stats:
Overall putting average
Scrambling
Greens in Regulation
Birdie Average
Fantasy Tip: Look to see who plays well this week for next week's picks. They are similar layouts in courses and guys that played well last week generally have a good showing at the Mayakoba Classic too.

2020 RSM Classic Fantasy Golf Sleeper Picks
Brian Harman - Harman lives in the area and plays the course occasionally for practice. Harman finished in 4th in 2017 and has been making cuts since the season started again in September. Makes a great DFS sleeper pick at DraftKings this week if you are looking for a cheap guy to just make the cut.
Corey Conners - Conners has played the RSM Classic twice and had decent finishes but he is now more of a veteran on the PGA Tour and could be poised to make some noise here. He is one of the best ball strikers on the Tour and both these courses need solid shots to win.
