The season-ending 2023 RSM Classic gets underway this week at Sea Island in Georgia, and we’re picking a winless pro who has been contending all season as our long-shot pick. Here’s our pick, the RSM Classic odds, betting favorites and everything else you need to know.
RSM Classic odds: Long-shot bet
Our long-shot pick for the final event of the PGA Tour’s Fall Series is Adam Schenk (+6600 odds to win). Schenk, who is 31, has had a great season on Tour. He’s made 22 cuts heading into the week and accumulated seven top-10 finishes.

Better yet, Schenk has earned two runner-up finishes on the year, which means he’s been knocking on the door and due for his first career win any time now.
Recent results haven’t been great for Schenk, with a MC and a T51 in his two previous Fall Series starts, but he had two top-10s in the FedEx Cup Playoffs against stellar fields.
If you bet $10 on Schenk to win and he comes through, you’ll earn a cool $660. For insurance, consider additional bets on Schenk to finish top 20 and top 10.
Looking for more long-shot bets for the RSM Classic? Our honorable mentions this week are Camillo Villegas (+5500) and Harris English (+5500).
RSM Classic odds: The favorites
Ludvig Aberg hasn’t won a PGA Tour event in his young career, but he’s once again installed as the betting favorite at the RSM with +1400 odds to win.
Three players are tied in second behind Aberg at +2000: Russell Henley, Brian Harman and Cameron Young. Finishing out the top-five betting favorites is Corey Conners at +2500.
