Inside the Field: The RSM Classic
4 Min Read

Joel Dahmen secures his 2025 PGA TOUR card at The RSM Classic
Written by Staff
The FedExCup Fall finale takes place at The RSM Classic, which returns to Sea Island, Georgia, from Nov. 20-23. This is the final opportunity for players outside of the top 100 in the FedExCup to earn their TOUR card.
The PGA TOUR uses a standardized system for determining event fields based on the current season’s Priority Ranking while also including additional exemption and qualifying categories.
Field sizes can vary by event, as can the number of event-specific exemptions. Fully exempt PGA TOUR members are guaranteed entry into all Full-Field Events, with various conditional categories subject to periodic reshuffles based upon FedExCup Points accrued throughout the season. Categories with "reshuffle" notation indicate that a reshuffle period has occurred.
Note: An additional year of eligibility was granted to some categories because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
