The McGladrey Classic is introduced as one of the newest PGA TOUR Fall Series Event.

The McGladrey Classic is an official PGA TOUR tournament that will bring some of the hottest golfers to Georgia’s Golden Isles this fall. More than twenty FedEx Cup contenders have already committed to what is developing as a very strong field. Among the twenty who have committed to play Sea Island’s Seaside course in the inaugural event, October 6-10, 2010, are three of the top fifteen current FedEx Cup leaders.

A Fall Series victory earns a trip to Maui for the season-opening SBS Championship, plus invitations to the following year's Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard, THE PLAYERS Championship, Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, the Memorial Tournament presented by Morgan Stanley, AT&T National and PGA Championship.

McGladrey has inked a deal with PGA TOUR Veteran and McGladrey Classic tournament host Davis Love III. As a result, Love III became the fourth member of the Team McGladrey roster of elite professional golfers, joining fellow PGA TOUR Professionals Zach Johnson and Chris DiMarco, and LPGA TOUR Professional Natalie Gulbis, all of whom had their existing sponsorship contracts with McGladrey recently extended.

The PGA TOUR and RSM McGladrey, one of the nation's leading accounting, tax and business consulting firms, announced Tuesday a three-year title sponsorship agreement that will bring a new PGA TOUR event to renowned Sea Island Resort on the southern coast of Georgia.

2011 McGladrey Classic Winner

Ben Crane wins the 2011 McGladrey Classic for his fourth PGA TOUR title when being at seven shots behind with 11 holes to play, Crane of Beaverton ran off seven birdies to close with a 7-under 63. Webb Simpson misses a short par putt on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff at Sea Island Golf Club.

2010 McGladrey Classic Winner

Heath Slocum earned his fourth career PGA Tour victory, and his first since the '09 Barclays by winning the 2010 McGladrey Classic. Slocum used a series of short birdie putts to built a three-shot lead on the front nine Sunday, then emerged from a suddenly crowded leaderboard with a 60-foot birdie putt from just off the back of the 16th green. With his challengers fading, that last birdie gave Slocum enough of a cushion to take bogey on the 18th hole and still win. He closed with a 2-under 68 and finished one shot ahead of Bill Haas.
