World No. 1 Rory Mcllroy and World No. 2 Scottie Scheffler to miss the 2022 RSM Classic, Here's why 

The world's top golfers, Rory Mcllroy and Scottie Scheffler, will not feature in the final PGA Tour event of 2022, the RSM Classic. The event clashes with the season-ending finale of the DP World Tour Championships.

World No. 1 Rory McIlroy is all set to headline the field at the DP World Tour Championships and will therefore miss out on the RSM Classic. Rory was last seen at the CJ Cup in Carolina, where he successfully defended the title to regain the World No. 1 rank.

Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler finished his PGA Tour season at the recently concluded Houston Open in front of his family and friends. Overall, he had an incredible 2022 season with four PGA Tour victories, which put him at the top of the world rankings. He was also part of the US Team in the Presidents Cup.

However, he dropped down one spot in the world rankings after Rory McIlroy overtook him at the CJ Cup in South Carolina. His conquest to reclaim the top spot was unsuccessful as he did not finish first or solo second at the Houston Open.

He was also named the PGA Tour player of the year for the 2021-22 season, where he collected 11 top-10 finishes and finished second in the FedEx Cup standings.

With the conclusion of the Houston Open, the PGA Tour now heads to Georgia for the RSM Classic tournament. It is scheduled to take place from November 17 to 20, at the Sea Island Resort on St. Simons Island, Georgia. The event will have a 156-player field with a 36-hole cut for the top 65. World No. 15, Tony Finau, who recently won the Houston Open, will be the highest-ranked player in the field.
