Current Favorites to win the RBC Heritage

Odds provided by FanDuel – accurate as of April 18

Scottie Scheffler | +225 at BetMGM sportsbook

Looking to defend his title from a year ago, Scheffler returns to Harbour Town and tops the list in the RBC Heritage odds this week. Coming off a fourth-place finish at the Masters where he was also trying to defend his title, the number one player in the world is still in search of his first win of the season. This will mark the 13-time PGA Tour winners third appearance in the event and with a win and a tie for 11^th in two attempts there is no reason to think he won’t succeed once again during this go around of the tournament.

Collin Morikawa | +4000 at FanDuel sportsbook

With a tie for 14^th showing at the Masters Collin Morikawa has finished in the top 17 in all six events he has participated in this season. Sitting fourth in the official world golf rankings, the 28-year-old will be making his sixth career appearance at the RBC Heritage. Two top nine results in those five previous entries into the event highlight the two-time major champions resume at the historic course. While he hasn’t won a tournament since the 2023 ZOZO Championship, Morikawa is always a threat to win whenever he plays.

Ludvig Aberg | +5000 at BetMGM sportsbook

We’ve seen a bit of everything from Ludvig Aberg so far during the 2025 PGA Tour season. In eight tournaments so far, he has a win, an additional two top seven finishes including at the Masters, plus two missed cuts and a withdrawal. So, it’s tough to get a real read on the youngster as he arrives at Hilton Head for just the second time in his career. Not surprisingly, in his only showing at the event he finished tied for 10^th as opening rounds of 66-66 had him primed for a victory. While he fell off over the weekend he should be dialed in this time around as he brings some needed motivation from his Masters appearance.

Xander Schauffele | +5000 at BetMGM sportsbook

The more tournaments he has played in the more Xander Schauffele appears on the verge of returning to the form that saw him win two major championships in 2024. Having just posted his best result of the season with a tie for eighth showing at the Masters, the number three ranked golfer has now posted two straight nice results when factoring in his tie for 12^th at the Valspar Championship. This will mark the 31-year-olds sixth appearance at the RBC Heritage and in his five previous attempts the nine-time PGA Tour winner has only posted one impressive result by finishing in fourth place in 2023.

Justin Thomas | +250 at bet365 sportsbook

Although it’s been three years since Justin Thomas has lifted a trophy it feels like it’s only a matter of time before he gets back into the winner’s circle. The 15-time PGA Tour winner already has four top 9 finishes this season, including a pair of second place results in just nine starts to date. The two-time PGA Championship winner is coming off his best career showing at the RBC Heritage where he finished in a tie for fifth place a year ago. The eighth ranked player in the world also has a tie for eighth and a tie for 11^th among his four top 25 finishes in six attempts.

RBC Heritage longshot

Justin Rose | +7000 at FanDuel sportsbook

In what will be remembered as one of the better Masters of all-time, Justin Rose was front and center in the action and is showing to be in excellent form following his playoff loss. This will mark the 44-year-olds eighth career appearance at the RBC Heritage and while he posted an impressive tie for seventh in his first appearance the results have gotten progressively worse. While there is a tie for 14^th and another top 25 in those results, it’s all about riding the hot hand when it comes to this pick.
