RBC Heritage Betting Tips
After last week's thrilling Masters at Augusta National, the PGA Tour heads to South Carolina for the fifth Signature Event of the season, the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links.
Grand Slam winner Rory McIlroy has decided to skip this trip to Hilton Head Island, an understandable decision given his celebrations are expected to continue for a while, but plenty of the leading players will be teeing it up.
World number one and defending champion Scottie Scheffler is the 4/1 favourite to become the first player to successfully retain this title since Boo Weekley in 2008, with Collin Morikawa (9/1) and Ludvig Aberg (12/1) next in the betting.
There is no cut in this limited-field event that has a prize fund of $20million - $3,600,000 going to the winner - with the champion also being awarded 700 FedEx Cup points.
TIP 1 – BRIAN HARMAN EW @ 66/1
Signature status means this is a stacked field for the RBC Heritage and, while there can be arguments made for those at the top of the betting, the 66/1 available on Brian Harman to claim the spoils is hard to ignore.
The 2023 Open champion put in a decent showing at Augusta, finishing tied-36th as he made the Masters cut for the first time since 2021 and he can keep the momentum going at Harbour Town.
Harman has three top-10 finishes at this course, the most recent coming in 2023, while his 12th-placed effort last year was his second top-15 result in the tournament.
The American left-hander won the Texas Open a couple of weeks ago, his fourth PGA Tour title, and he looks to have the skillset to challenge for a second win of the year.
TIP 2 – ROBERT MACINTYRE EW @ 45/1
Another left-hander to watch out for this week is Scotland's Robert MacIntyre, who will have been disappointed to miss the cut at the Masters after some strong performances this season.
The 28-year-old's five starts before his Augusta outing had produced efforts of T6-MC-T11-9-T9, with two of those results coming at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Players Championship.
A strong tee-to-green game has been crucial to success at the RBC Heritage and it bodes well that MacIntyre is fifth in strokes gained in this category, while his standing of seventh in greens in regulation is also a plus.
TIP 3 – MICHAEL KIM EW @ 70/1
The third and final selection is Michael Kim, who should be very happy with his T27 finish at the Masters and will be eager to kick on in South Carolina.
It has been nearly seven years since the American won his sole PGA Tour title - the 2018 John Deere Classic - but he has shown his class this year with a T2 at the Phoenix Open and a fourth place at the Arnold Palmer.
Kim is 10th in strokes gained tee to green and eighth in scrambling, another area that has proven to be crucial to success given the small greens at Harbour Town.
If the 31-year-old has a strong week with the putter, then there looks to be every chance of him being in contention come Sunday.
