PGA Betting Picks: Best Prop Bets for The RSM Classic (2021)
The last chance for FedEx Cup points until January arrives this weekend in The RSM Classic on Sea Island, GA. While the PGAers will play the event at two courses (Seaside and Plantation) over Thursday and Friday, Seaside will play host to the weekend rounds as the field gets cut and half.
Let’s look at this week’s field and see where the value remains as the first tee approaches.

Top-20 Finish
Robert Streb (+550 on DraftKings Sportsbook)
With seven of his last ten rounds played here at Seaside coming in at 68 or lower, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better “horse for the course†than Streb this weekend. The only two-time winner in the event’s history (2020 and 2015), Streb comes into this one playing some great golf as of late as well.
Over his last seven events, Streb has three top 20s and two top 10s, including a T7 last week at the Houston Open. With his driving accuracy and SG: Putting, two metrics he’ll need to rank high into finish low here, being firmly inside the top 30, I like for Streb to continue his elite play to start 2021 and find himself high on the board come Sunday.
Russell Henley (+300 on DraftKings Sportsbook)
One of the more talented if not inconsistent guys in the field this week, Henley comes into his fifth event of the season playing some great golf as well. With three top 25s, including a T7 last week in Houston, Henley has yet to miss a cut in the 2020-21 season, and I don’t see this week being his first.
In his last six times here at the RSM, Henly has four top 30s and three top 10s, with four of his previous six rounds coming in 69 or better. This week, he also comes as #1 on Tour in SG: Approach the Green (1.301), a metric critical anywhere but especially here at Seaside.
One of the more shallow fields Henley will play in all season. I like for the Georgia native to capitalize and go very low comes Sunday afternoon.
