OFFICI A L OUT FITT ER OF T HE RSM CLASSIC

POLO GOLF AMBASSADOR, DAVIS LOVE III


Welcome to the 2019 RSM Classic and thank you for choosing to join us! We sincerely hope you enjoy your time at the tournament, and we invite you to enjoy all that’s special about being here in the beautiful Golden Isles of Georgia. We are very fortunate to bring some of the world’s most elite professional golfers this week for the 10th RSM Classic. The RSM Classic is the largest fundraising event for the Davis Love Foundation. Since its inception, this Official PGA TOUR Event has raised more than $13 million for charities including Special Olympics (national, state and local), the Boys and Girls Club of Southeast Georgia, and other local, regional and national charities.

Our event, along with the other tournaments on the PGA TOUR, is only possible through our outstanding tournament partners, dedicated volunteers and faithful fans. I wish I could thank each one of you individually as you are helping make a difference in people’s lives through the numerous charities that benefit each year. I do want to recognize Sea Island and the PGA TOUR for everything they do for us and of course, the tournament would not be possible without one of the best Title Sponsors in golf — RSM. Their enthusiasm and passion for the tournament grows each and every year, as does their commitment to maximize the charitable dollars generated by the event. We are extremely fortunate to have RSM as our partner. Thanks again for being here and for making this event a true Seaside Tradition! Sincerely,

Davis Love III RSM Classic Chairman & Tournament Host Team RSM Member

#RSMClassic #Celebrating10Years


Anniversaries are worth celebrating. On behalf of the more than 41,000 RSM professionals around the world it’s my pleasure to welcome you as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of The RSM Classic! RSM is honored to partner with the Davis Love Foundation, the PGA TOUR, the local community, some 1,200 event volunteers and others to bring The RSM Classic to the world via the Golf Channel each year. And we’re honored to showcase our core values of respect, integrity, teamwork, excellence and stewardship – values we share with the game of golf – through this unique event. When we began serving as title sponsor of The RSM Classic in 2010, we knew it was going to be special. What we didn’t know, however, was the magnitude of the positive impact this event would have on the Golden Isles community and on the lives of children and families across the country. Since The RSM Classic began 10 years ago, together we have raised more than $13 million for deserving local and national nonprofit organizations focused on improving the lives of children and families. This is possible because of the tournament’s Birdies Fore Love program, the support of the Golden Isles community, the RSM US Foundation and many other related efforts, as well as the generosity of our clients, friends and fans like you. We are grateful to everyone who contributes to the philanthropic efforts of this event. Sea Island is a magical place – a place where everyone is welcome. And it’s a place that several PGA TOUR professionals – including Team RSM members Davis Love III, host of The RSM Classic, Zach Johnson, and Dru Love – call home. We’re glad you’re here to enjoy the beauty of the island with us, and we hope you’ll experience “the power of being understood” during every interaction you have with RSM. Again, welcome to the 10th anniversary of The RSM Classic. If you’d like to join the celebration, use #Celebrating10Years as you share updates throughout the week via your social media accounts. Thank you for joining us as we celebrate 10 years of giving through The RSM Classic.

Cheers!

Charles Howell III I love the game because it’s all on you, it’s all on the player. Golf is never about one competitor versus another and it never will be. It’s against the player versus himself and versus the golf course. It’s just you against you, and as crazy as that sounds, it’s the way that it is.

Defending Champion


We’ve been busy since last year’s Classic.

Two exciting openings highlighted the year at Sea Island. First, the new 17,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art Golf Performance Center. And this fall, Plantation Course, following a masterful redesign by Davis and Mark Love, who grew up playing the course with their dad. They’re just two reasons why so many touring pros choose to live, play, and/or train at Sea Island.

For golf groups, call 912-634-4362 For room reservations, seaisland.com


Welcome to Sea Island! We are again delighted to host the RSM Classic, now in its tenth year. As it has been from the beginning, its success is due to the passion and effort of hundreds of volunteers, the sponsors, patrons, RSM, and of course our own Davis Love III, Mark Love, Todd Thompson, and the tournament staff. While there is always excitement in the air during tournament week, that is especially true this year for all of us at Sea Island due to the recent reopening of the Plantation Course, wonderfully redesigned by Davis and Mark Love of Love Golf Design. That milestone follows the March opening of the all-new, 17,000-square-foot Golf Performance Center, a state-of-the-art facility that we regard as the finest in the world. Opening after the Classic is the King Cottage, a 4,200-squarefoot cottage perfect for golf buddy groups -- equipped with its own hitting bay overlooking St. Simons Sound and the driving range. That comes on the heels of opening six new cottages, an infinity-edge pool, and pool house at The Lodge. The support and leadership of the RSM team continue to spark the involvement of other sponsors and patrons. We value their partnership, as well as the commitment of the entire community. Everyone involved is part of an exceptional tournament that makes a difference in the lives of many through the benefiting charities. As we have for the past ten years, we are pleased to share our hospitality and the finest golf experience in the country with all of you. On behalf of our Sea Island team, thank you for being part of this very special week. Enjoy the tournament!

Sincerely,

Scott Steilen President and CEO Sea Island

This long par four is set up by the drive. Players must play far enough left to avoid the large oak trees that can inhibit the second shot on this hole, while avoiding the marsh to the left. Set upon the Atlantic, wind is always a factor here and while there are no bunkers guarding the green, marsh runs the entire left side making the swales right of the green a common place to play third shots.

Long hitters can carry the fairway bunker stretching across the left side to have a shot at reaching this par five. For those unable to carry the bunker, they must play right on the tee shot and lay up for a short third shot. The raised green is very well protected with bunkers left and right and back hole locations can provide a very difficult two putt.

This signature hole requires thinking on the tee. With a tidal creek running the entire left side of the driving area, players will hit their tee shots out to the right, but the farther right you play, the longer the second shot to the well protected green. A bunker protects the green on the front, right side while a false front runs the entire left side.

At 470 yards, players have to negotiate fairway bunkers both right and left to have a second shot into the green protected by bunkers both left and front right. A great finishing hole that can provide great shots for a dramatic finish.

The RSM Birdies Fore Love program is a giving platform tied to The RSM Classic, focused on supporting organizations that help build the middle market leaders of tomorrow. The program has two primary components:

Birdies Fore Love – RSM employee giving challenge Each year during the run-up to The RSM Classic, RSM partners, principals and employees raise funds for local charities aligned with the missions of the RSM US Foundation and the Davis Love Foundation. In 2018, the program raised more than $2.8 million for more than 70 charities in the communities where RSM employees live and work. The strong fundraising through Birdies Fore Love, coupled with matching contributions from the RSM US Foundation and proceeds from the tournament, has brought the program total to more than $13 million donated over the nine years of the tournament.

Birdies Fore Love – PGA TOUR on-course competition In collaboration with the PGA TOUR, RSM Birdies Fore Love will donate over $1 Million to charitable organizations through an on-course competition over the first ten events of the 2019-20 PGA TOUR Season. In addition to the weekly winners, the top three players who accumulate the most birdies (or better) throughout those first ten events will earn $300,000, $150,000 and $50,000, respectively, for children- or familyfocused charitable organizations of each player’s choice. RSM got a head start by awarding $50,000 to Patrick Rodgers, who recorded the most birdies (or better) at the 2018 RSM Classic. Rodgers chose to donate $40,000 to the Indianapolis Junior Golf Foundation, the group that helped him get his start in golf, and $10,000 to Hilarity For Charity.
