What is the payout at The RSM Classic?

The prize money available at The RSM Classic this week totals $7 million, $600,000 less than in 2024.

The top three on the final leaderboard will earn $1.26 million, $763,000, and $483,000, respectively.

The RSM Classic picks

The Golfing Gazette experts have made their predictions for the winner of the final PGA Tour event of the season, The RSM Classic.

Charlie Walker: This is a priceless opportunity for Harris English to put the disappointment of the Ryder Cup behind him. He has played well on some of the biggest stages this season, finishing second at the PGA Championship and The Open Championship. I predict that English will remind everyone of his talent with his second win of the year at the RSM Classic. 

James Shearman: Michael Thorbjornsen will win a PGA Tour event sooner or later. The 24-year-old already has multiple runner-up finishes, and he has been in solid form since the Procore Championship in September. He could take advantage of this weaker field and set himself up for a big 2026.

Peter Lynch: Matt Wallace is under huge pressure to retain his PGA Tour card after falling out of the top 100, but I think that should really motivate him to not only impress this week but also to come away with a rare win.

Jordan Harris: Daniel Berger was one of the three players who finished tied for second at this event last year. He has had a respectable and consistent year without ever taking that final step. Perhaps he may end a nearly five-year wait for a victory in the coming days.
