PGA Tour
The PGA Tour heads to South Carolina's Lowcountry for the RBC Heritage, where Harbour Town Golf Links once again tests precision over power. This Pete Dye design rewards course management and accuracy, a stark contrast to last week's major championship theatre. Justin Thomas returns as defending champion, while Scottie Scheffler arrives as the man to beat in a field stacked with ball-strikers who thrive on tight, strategic layouts.
Harbour Town's trademark lighthouse hole may be the postcard shot, but it's the narrow fairways and firm greens that separate contenders from also-rans. Strokes-gained approach play typically dictates the leaderboard here, making this a tournament for the metronomic rather than the mercurial.
Outright Favourites
Scottie Scheffler sits atop the market at 4.5/1 with PointsBet, and the price looks more than fair for a player who has dominated PGA Tour golf over the past 24 months. Our analysis gives him a 13.7% win probability, which translates to around 6/1 implied, making the available 4.5/1 genuine value for a player who leads the field in consistency. His approach play has been exceptional, and Harbour Town's emphasis on iron accuracy plays directly into his strengths. The 100% projected cut rate tells you everything about his floor, while a 55% top-10 probability suggests he'll be in the mix come Sunday.
Xander Schauffele at 15.85/1 with Pinnacle represents a different type of value. We rate him at 5.4% to win, roughly 18/1 implied, so the market has him about right. But with a 34% top-10 probability and a proven track record on courses demanding precision, he's a solid each-way play at these terms. His ball-striking metrics remain elite, and this layout suits his game far better than bombers' paradises.
Matt Fitzpatrick completes the top tier at 17/1 across BetOnline, DraftKings, and PointsBet. Like Schauffele, we have him at 5.4% to win with a 36% top-10 chance. The Englishman's surgical iron play and scrambling ability make him a natural fit for Harbour Town's demands. At 17/1, he's correctly priced rather than overlaid, but his consistency makes him a safer outright play than most at this price point.
Each-Way Value
Cameron Young at 19.3/1 with Betcris catches the eye as a genuine each-way opportunity. Each-Way Our ratings put him at 5.2% to win with a 33% top-10 probability, making him slightly backable at these odds. His ball-striking has been among the best on tour when he's on form, and Harbour Town rewards exactly that profile. The fifth-place each-way cushion at 1/5 odds makes this a sensible play for a player who racks up top-10s but sometimes lacks the killer instinct to close.
Russell Henley at 20/1 with Bovada is another who fits the each-way mould perfectly. Each-Way We give him a 5.0% win chance with a 35% top-10 projection, the kind of player who consistently features on leaderboards without always converting. His strokes-gained putting figures suggest he can get hot on Harbour Town's tricky surfaces, and the price offers enough meat on the bone to justify the each-way structure.
Tommy Fleetwood at 23.07/1 with Pinnacle is worth serious consideration. Each-Way BonusDevil's ratings give him a 3.8% chance (around 25/1 implied), so the available 23/1 is fair value. More importantly, his 30% top-10 probability makes the each-way angle attractive. The recent news mentions his presence in contention, suggesting current form, and his metronomic ball-striking fits Harbour Town like a glove. At these odds with five-place terms, he's a cracking each-way bet.
Players to Watch
- Justin Thomas (defending champion) returns to a course where he clearly knows how to navigate the challenges. His recent form mentioned in the news suggests he's in the mix, and defending champions at Harbour Town often go well.
- Collin Morikawa at 29.65/1 (Pinnacle) brings elite iron play to a course that demands it. Our 3.6% win probability suggests he's fairly priced, but his 28% top-10 chance means he'll likely feature on the weekend.
- Robert MacIntyre at 40/1 (BetMGM, Bovada, Caesars) represents the Scottish contingent with a game built for precision courses. Our ratings have him at 2.5% to win with a 24% top-10 probability, making him an interesting longshot play.

Odds: 4.5/1 — PointsBet (others: 4.4/1 FanDuel, 4.23/1 Pinnacle)

Scheffler's strokes-gained approach numbers are elite, his course management is impeccable, and Harbour Town's narrow corridors play perfectly to his strengths. The 55% top-10 probability underlines his consistency, while the 100% projected cut rate confirms this is as close to a banker as you'll find in professional golf. At 4.5/1 for the best player in the world on a course that suits him, this is the bet of the week.
