Another PGA Tour season has reached its conclusion, with Sami Valimaki winning The RSM Classic to end 2025.

Valimaki finished on 23-under at The RSM Classic, earning a one-shot win over Max McGreevy at Sea Island Golf Club.

Ricky Castillo finished third on 21-under, with three players ending the latest PGA Tour event in a tie for fourth on 19-under.

But Valimaki has rightly taken all of the plaudits, clinching the title with rounds of 66, 62, 65 and 66 in Georgia.

Sami Valimaki becomes Finland’s first winner on the PGA Tour

The success has just helped create history on the PGA Tour, with Valimaki representing Finland’s first-ever winner.

Reacting to the fantastic victory, the emotional Finnish champion said: “It has been a long road, of course.

“I feel like it’s a really tough year even when I kind of played decent golf, and then to keep pushing and find some good grooves in the last few tournaments, it feels amazing.”

What has Sami Valimaki earned after his win at The RSM Classic?

Valimaki had been threatening to finally get over the line on the PGA Tour, having just finished T2 at the World Wide Technology Championship.

He boasts one win and one runner-up finish from 26 events this season, along with four top 10s and nine top 25s.

With his success, however, he’s now earned a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour, with his 51st placing in the FedExCup earning him a spot in the first two $20million Signature Events of 2026.

It’s quite a story for the 27-year-old, who missed the cut at the PGA Championship, his only major appearance in 2025.

What golf tournaments remain in the 2025 season?

Hosted by Tiger Woods, the Hero World Challenge is the next tournament in the golfing calendar for 2025.

Scottie Scheffler will play at the Hero World Challenge, with the world number one entering the event as a two-time defending champion.

Many male and female stars then come together for the Grant Thornton Invitational, but many eyes have already turned to the 2026 PGA Tour season.
