Collin Morikawa (+1100)

Morikawa is second on the PGA Tour in fairways in regulation. Over his past 24 rounds, he's also second in approach shot accuracy. This is a shorter, tighter layout. Accuracy off the tee matters, as does hitting greens in regulation.

Morikawa was ninth in last year's RBC Heritage.

Ludvig Aberg (+1100)

Aberg was 10th in the 2024 RBC Heritage. Will his disappointing conclusion at Augusta spur the Swedish golfer to a rebound performance in this event?

Xander Schauffele (+1200)

Schauffele was fourth in the 2023 RBC Heritage. He was also a strong eighth in the Masters, offering further signs that he's finally overcoming his injury woes from late last season .

Justin Thomas (+1800)

Among the shorter layouts on the PGA Tour, that makes putting a key to victory at Harbour Links. Thomas is among the best with the flat stick in the game today.

He's also got his irons going. On the small greens of this Pete Dye layout, accurate approach shots are vital. This combination makes Thomas a contender to watch in the RBC Heritage.

Patrick Cantlay (+1800)

Cantlay is the close but no cigar player of this event. He wound up tied for third in last year's RBC Heritage. Cantlay was four shots off the winning pace.

He was also third in this tournament in 2023. Cantlay missed out on participating in a playoff that year by one shot. He did get into a playoff at the 2022 RBC Heritage, losing to Jordan Spieth.

Jordan Spieth (+3000) was the RBC Heritage winner in a playoff in 2022. He lost the tournament in a playoff in 2023.

Might Justin Rose (+5000) follow up his heartbreaking playoff loss at the Masters with a strong showing in the RBC Heritage?

Another past winner in the field is Matt Fitzpatrick (2023) at +6500. Last year's runner up Theegala is set with a betting line of +7500. He's done well here. Theegala finished fourth in the 2023 RBC Heritage.
