The RSM Classic is a golf tournament on the PGA Tour, played in the autumn in Georgia. It debuted in October 2010 on St. Simons Island, Georgia at the Sea Island Golf Club. The tournament was known as the McGladrey Classic until 2015, when the title sponsor's name changed from McGladrey to RSM US.{{cite web |url=http://www.pgatour.com/company/2015/11/05/the-rsm-classic.html |title=The McGladrey Classic renamed The RSM Classic |publisher=PGA Tour |date=November 5, 2015}}

Since 2015, the event has been played over both the Seaside and Plantation courses at Sea Island, with the field expanded to 156 players. Between 2015 and 2019 and in 2021, it was the final official PGA Tour event of the calendar year, with only a few unofficial tournaments being held until the season resumed in January. After the PGA Tour reverted to a calendar year schedule for 2023, the RSM Classic became a final chance for players to earn or retain PGA Tour privileges.
