⛳ RBC Heritage Picks to Win & Odds 2026: Scottie Scheffler Resounding Favorite For Signature Event
Defending champion Justin Thomas returns to Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, S.C., as a top contender to repeat at the RBC Heritage following his dramatic playoff win over Andrew Novak last year. While Scottie Scheffler remains the betting favorite at +350, I'm looking at Thomas and Cameron Young to have a great week at the Tour's most iconic coastal layouts.
This signature event features a 72-man field with no cut and a $20-million purse. With Rory McIlroy resting after his Masters win, the 700 FedEx Cup points are up for grabs.
I'd expect to see McIlroy play next week's Zurich Classic of New Orleans with Shane Lowry before beginning his preparations for the year's second major as the new co-favorite by the PGA Championship odds.

💰 RBC Heritage odds & betting favorite
Here are my best golf picks to win this week's RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, S.C.
Scottie Scheffler (+350)
Nobody in golf is as consistent as Scheffler, so he's always a threat to win, but that's especially true in Hilton Head. Scottie is fresh off a solo second-place finish at the 2026 Masters, where he became the first player since 1942 to go bogey-free over the weekend at Augusta. This performance marked his eighth T-7 finish in his last nine major starts, proving he's once again the man to beat. Scheffler has also notoriously dominated in this tournament, finishing outside the top 10 (T-11) just once in three starts, winning the plaid jacket in 2024 after shooting 19-under.
