The RSM Classic: Top PGA DFS Picks, Values and Sleepers for ...

In another race to watch, the players who finish in spots Nos. 51-60 in the standings will get into two Signature Events in 2024 – The Genesis Invitational and the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am – via “The Next 10.” Players who just miss the top 125 still have the chance to go into the Final Stage of the PGA TOUR Q School in December and earn their PGA TOUR card that way.In addition to those two races happening within the tournament, this week’s is a typical full-field tournament. Todd has seven top 10s this season and is already locked into his spot on the PGA TOUR and in the first two Signature Events after finishing 47th in the FedExCup standings going into the playoffs.Since he’s a former Georgia Bulldog, and this is basically a home game for him, he is still teeing it up this week and should be poised for another strong finish. He’s a great play at this price and this ownership projection this week.Bhatia is one of my personal favorites, and there’s no way I’d pass him up at this salary when he also brings the best SimLeverage in the field. It was his third straight made cut in the FedExCup Fall and moved him to No. 58 in the FedExCup Fall Standings, meaning he’s in the Next 10 coming into this week.Last year at this event, Smalley finished tied for fifth in one of his four top-five finishes this season. He has made the cut in each of his two previous career appearances at Sea Island and should be comfortable at the venue since he played his college golf at Georgia Tech.Exactly 100 of the golfers in this week’s field have a salary of $7K or under, and of those 100 players, Wu ranks in the top three in terms of ceiling, median, and floor projections. He’s also tied for second in Pts/Sal of those players and is in the top 20 in both Leverage and SimLeverage since his ownership is projected to be under 2%.Wu made the cut in Bermuda last week and finished T30 after a disappointing 72 on Sunday. He has made the cut in each of the last two years at this track and will look to finish the year with another strong finish.After making the PGA TOUR this year from the Korn Ferry Tour last season, Young is in a good spot to keep his card since he starts the week at No. 101 in the FedExCup Fall standings. As usual, with players under $7K, he comes with plenty of risk, but if you’re going this cheap, Young’s upside makes him worth consideration.This week is the final official PGA TOUR event of the 2023 season, as the new format of the FedExCup Fall comes to a close at the RSM Classic at St. Simons Island, Georgia.
