We’ve just passed the eight-month
mark until the eighth annual RSM Classic (Nov.
13-19, 2017), so while we still have plenty of time before this year’s
tournament, we’re already planning and celebrating (at least to some extent).
Join us by watching this video. The shared values between Sea Island (home of
The RSM Classic) and RSM US LLP (“RSM”) make the island the
perfect location for the tournament, a PGA TOUR event that RSM is proud to
sponsor. Bill Gorman, COO for RSM US LLP, sat down with Sea Island’s President
and CEO Scott Steilen, to discuss what makes Sea Island such a special
place.
Want to know what the Ryder
Cup USA and Arnold Palmer mean to Team RSM Member Davis Love III?
In an interview with Kingdom, Davis
shares his thoughts on 2016, a memorable year for him personally and for the game
of golf. During 2016, Davis served as captain of the American Ryder Cup Team,
which took home the trophy for the first time since 2008. Also last year, Davis
was invited into the World Golf Hall of Fame, and sadly, he lost a dear friend when
Arnold Palmer passed away on September 25. The article does a great job of
delving into some of Davis’ personal thoughts into the year’s highs and lows.
It’s a good week for golf fans,
as two tournaments are underway! The Puerto
Rico Open is taking place in Rio Grande, and
the World Golf Championship – Dell Technologies Match Play is happening in Austin.
In Puerto Rico, past RSM Classic winners Ben Crane (2011) and Chris
Kirk (2013) are playing.
Chris started his day at 7:40 a.m. UTC, teeing off from tee No. 1 and Ben
started shortly after at 7:50 a.m. from tee No. 10. In Austin, Team RSM members
Zach Johnson and Andy Sullivan are
joined by one other past RSM Classic winner, Kevin Kisner (2015). All starting
from tee No. 1, Kevin started at 10:14 a.m. CT; shortly after at 10:58 a.m.,
Zach teed off; and Andy starts his day at 2:05 p.m. Best of luck to all “our
guys” this week!
In the event you’re not familiar with Austin, the city’s
Independent Business Alliance adopted “Keep Austin Weird” as the city’s slogan
in 2000, and that attitude of ‘celebrating uniqueness’ spills over into the
game of golf – even impacting the way they predict the World Golf Championship
winner, which involves dogs and pizza. Seriously. Sid, the Dog Mayor of Austin,
recently made his pick. Watch this video and let us know if you agree with his
prediction…
Continuing our focus on the
(ahem) uniqueness of the vibe in Austin, the PGA TOUR recently shared some of
golf’s quirky swings, wacky clothes, and more in this somewhat offbeat article here. Wonder what
we’ll see on the course this week? You can bet we’ll be tuning in to find out!
Check back next week to learn
the latest on Team RSM and other
fun golf-related topics!
