Analyzing prop bets for the 2020 RBC Heritage, with odds, picks and best bets for the best match betting and placing options.
The 2020 RBC Heritage takes place this week at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, S.C., with another loaded field. We’ve looked at the best bets and the top-30 fantasy rankings and below, we’ll look at the best prop bets for the RBC Heritage and make our picks.
Simpson has a better history at Harbour Town with a T-5 in 2018 and two other top 20s in the last three years, while Reed hasn’t played here since a missed cut in 2015. Simpson also ranks third in the field in Strokes Gained: Putting on Bermuda greens. He looks to bounce back from a missed cut last week.
Xander Schauffele vs. Collin Morikawa (+115)
Morikawa has good value at plus-money coming off a runner-up finish at the Charles Schwab Challenge. He makes his debut at Harbour Town, but that situation hasn’t been an issue for him yet as he remains without a missed cut as a professional.
Gary Woodland (-133) vs. Jordan Spieth
Spieth received a lot more camera time than Woodland last week. The reigning US Open champion finished alone in ninth place, while Spieth was part of a large group at T-10. Play it safe with the more reliable Woodland. Spieth won’t have the same room for error off the tee this week and Woodland ranks 14th in the field in SG: Off the Tee.

2020 RBC Heritage: Placing bets
Top 5: Sam Burns (+4500)
Burns finished alone in ninth at the 2019 RBC Heritage. He ranks fifth in this field in SG: Putting on Bermuda greens.
Top 10: Rory Sabbatini (+800)
Sabbatini was T-14 last week and he was T-10 here in 2019. He can avoid bogeys and will have plenty of scoring opportunities on the par 5s.
Lowest score Group D: Branden Grace (+400)
Grace’s lone PGA Tour victory to date came at the 2016 RBC Heritage. He returned to the European Tour’s winner’s circle for the ninth time at the South African Open in mid-January. He opened the Charles Schwab Challenge with three straight rounds of 66 before firing a Sunday 73 to finish T-19.
2020 RBC Heritage: Tournament specials
Leader after 1st round: Luke Donald (+10000)
Donald, a former world No. 1, had runner-up finishes in 2016 and 2017 while opening with a 65 and 66, respectively. He followed them up with a missed cut in 2018 and a T-33 in 2019, but he’s still among the best Bermuda putters in the field

Analyzing the best fantasy golf options for the 2020 RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links.
The PGA Tour shifts to Hilton Head, S.C., for the 2020 RBC Heritage this week at Harbour Town Golf Links. Last week saw Daniel Berger outlast Collin Morikawa in a playoff for his first win since 2017 in the PGA Tour’s return from a nearly three-month hiatus. Below, we’ll look at the fantasy golf power rankings for the 2020 RBC Heritage.

Here are my top-30 fantasy golf rankings for the 2020 RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links.
30. Luke List
List will return to the PGA Tour after winning in a strong field on the Korn Ferry Tour last week. He has some confidence, and his sixth-place finish at last year’s PGA Championship shows he can contend in strong fields at the highest level.
29. Rory Sabbatini
Sabbatini’s T-14 last week was his best finish in North America since a T-6 at the 2019 Wyndham Championship. He’s excellent on par 4s, especially Harbour Town’s most common range of 400-450 yards, and he tied for 10th last year.
28. Sergio Garcia
Garcia missed the cut last week, but he’s a good fit to Harbour Town, with top-10 field ranks in Greens in Regulation Gained and Bogey Avoidance over everyone’s last 100 rounds.
27. Abraham Ancer
Ancer tied for 14th last week while gaining 1.66 strokes per round on the field from tee-to-green, according to Data Golf. He enters the week at 22nd in the Golfweek/Sagarin world rankings.
26. Corey Conners
Conners had a much better than usual putting performance last week at Colonial Country Club, as he gained 0.57 strokes per round on the greens. He has three missed cuts here in his career, but the putter is typically his main weakness.

25. Scottie Scheffler
Scheffler’s Sunday round of 73 dropped him down the leaderboard to a T-55 finish after opening with three sub-par rounds. He has a well-rounded game and has the iron play to hit these small greens.
24. J.T. Poston
Poston tied for 10th last week while gaining 1.27 strokes per round tee-to-green and 0.92 strokes per round putting. He tied for sixth in this event last year, albeit in a much weaker field.
23. Shane Lowry
Lowry tied for third last year in his second career appearance at this event. The Open Champion is 10th in this field in SG: Off-the-Tee over everyone’s last 100 rounds.
22. Bubba Watson
Watson picked up a T-7 last week for his third top-10 result of 2020 to match his total from 2019. He gained 1.45 strokes per round tee-to-green and 1.23 putting.
21. Jason Kokrak
Kokrak put together weekend rounds of 65 and 64 for a T-3 finish last week. He has gained 0.80 strokes per round across 25 career rounds at this venue.

20. Jordan Spieth
Spieth was able to somewhat tame his driver last week, but he lost 0.35 strokes per round on approach while gaining 2.15 strokes putting. His T-10 finish was promising, but he’s still too erratic to trust on a weekly basis.
19. Tyrrell Hatton
Hatton returns to play following his first PGA Tour win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He looks to follow the lead of Berger in picking up his pre-break form.
18. Gary Woodland
Woodland faltered to a Sunday 70 for a ninth-place finish last week. He’s ninth in this field in SG: Off-the-Tee, and he gained 2.20 strokes per round on approach last week.
17. Hideki Matsuyama
Matsuyama had a T-5 at the Genesis Invitational and a T-6 at the WGC-Mexico Championship before a T-56 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He can avoid trouble and hit these greens.

16. Sungjae Im
One of Im’s eight missed cuts in his last 44 international events came at this venue last year, but he’s coming off a T-10 at the Charles Schwab Challenge, where he also missed the cut in 2019. He’s 16th in this field in Bogey Avoidance and will score on the par 5s.
15. Tony Finau
Finau’s best trait for Harbour Town is a field rank of seventh in Greens in Regulation Gained. He gained 1.08 strokes off-the-tee last week while finishing in a tie for 23rd.
14. Brooks Koepka
Koepka will make his debut at Harbour Town amid one of his worst stretches in recent memory. The former world No. 1 enters the week 19th in the Golfweek rankings, but he’s ninth in this field in Bogey Avoidance and proximity from the key distance of 175-200 yards.
13. Daniel Berger
The reigning PGA Tour champ has made seven straight cuts with four consecutive top-10 finishes. He’s also riding a Tour-best streak of 28 rounds of par or better.
12. Dustin Johnson
Johnson tied for 16th here in 2018 and 28th last year. He’s second in the field in SG: Off-the-Tee and is a good bet to bounce back from last week’s missed cut.
11. Webb Simpson
Simpson also missed the cut last week, and slipped to No. 6 in the Golfweek rankings. He has gained 1.30 strokes per round over 38 rounds at Harbour Town, and he tied for fifth in 2018.

10. Patrick Reed
Reed finished T-7 last week with four rounds in the 60s highlighted by Saturday’s 63. He was in great form before the break with a win at the WGC-Mexico Championship and seems to have picked right back up.
9. Justin Rose
Rose gained 1.59 strokes per round tee-to-green and 1.34 strokes per round with the putter last week. He’s an excellent ball-striker and avoids trouble areas.
8. Collin Morikawa
Morikawa was without weakness last week before losing to Berger in a playoff. Debuting at tough courses hasn’t proven to be an issue yet, as he continues his streak of no missed cuts as a professional.
7. Matt Kuchar
Kuchar, the 2019 runner-up, has three other top-11 finishes here in the last five years with nothing worse than a T-23. He played a field-high 60 rounds at Harbour Town while gaining 1.76 strokes per round on the field.

6. Bryson DeChambeau
DeChambeau received plenty of air time last week due to his new, beefed-up look, but it certainly worked as he gained a tournament-best 2.65 strokes per round tee-to-green and 1.83 strokes per round off-the-tee.
5. Xander Schauffele
Schauffele gained 0.91 strokes per round with the putter, but you wouldn’t know it with his 17th-hole lip out costing him a chance at a playoff. He was among the best in the field off-the-tee and from tee-to-green. He’ll play here for the third year in a row.
4. Jon Rahm
Rahm was a disaster on the greens last week en route to a missed cut. He’s accurate off-the-tee and precise with the irons and is another good bet to bounce right back.
3. Justin Thomas
Thomas hasn’t played here since finishing T-11 in 2015 and 75th in 2016. It was his play off-the-tee last week which cost him, but he was able to gain 1.75 strokes per round on approach.
2. Rory McIlroy
McIlroy hasn’t played here since a 58th-place finish in 2009. He faltered with a plus-4 74 in Round 4 last week, but he leads this field in SG: Off-the-Tee, Bogey Avoidance and Greens in Regulation Gained over everyone’s last 100 rounds.
1. Branden Grace
The 2016 champ tied for seventh in 2015 and 11th in 2017. He opened the Charles Schwab Challenge with three straight rounds of 66 before Sunday’s 73 dropped him to T-19 to inflate his odds at Harbour Town.

Branden Grace (+5000)
Grace was right in the mix from Thursday-Saturday last week, as he opened the Charles Schwab Challenge with three straight rounds of 66. He fell down the leaderboard with a Sunday round of 73 to finish in a misleading tie for 19th.
The 2016 RBC Heritage champ tied for seventh in 2015 and 11th in 2017. He has gained 1.84 strokes per round on the field in 16 career rounds played here, according to Data Golf.
