Ludvig Aberg will defend his RSM Classic title on his return to action two months after undergoing knee surgery.

The Swedish superstar has missed the DP World Tour playoffs in the Middle East – but will make his comeback at the Sea Island resort in Georgia for the final PGA Tour regular season of the year.

Aberg claimed his first PGA Tour win in this event last year, posting a -29 aggregate to finish four shots clear of Canadian challenger Mackenzie Hughes.

And while Aberg may well be the star of the show after his victory here last year, much of the drama that unfolds at Sea Island will be found elsewhere.

That is because this will mark the final event of the FedEx Cup Fall Series, which determines which players will keep their PGA Tour card for the 2025 season.

A host of golfers are effectively battling for their jobs on the American circuit, but only the top 125 in the Fall Standings will guarantee full exemption status for next year.

Those who finish between 51-60, meanwhile will get into the two of the big-money Signature Events in 2024 – The Genesis Invitational and the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
