MGOLF: Davis Thompson Gets Sponsor Exemption for PGA Event on St. Simons

Georgia junior Davis Thompson has been granted a sponsor’s exemption for next week’s PGA Tour event on St. Simons Island.

The RSM Classic will take place Nov. 21-24 on Sea Island Golf Club’s Seaside Course — the site of the Southeastern Conference Championship, where Thompson placed fourth last spring.

Thompson will be one of 10 Bulldogs in the field. He will be joined by Harris English, Brian Harman, Russell Henley, Chris Kirk, Kevin Kisner, Keith Mitchell, Sepp Straka, Hudson Swafford, and Brendon Todd. Kirk and Kisner were RSM Classic winners in 2013 and 2015, respectively.

“It’s an experience I’ll never forget,” Thompson said.
