The greens are some of the smallest on tour so scrambling will be a requirement as it was last week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a couple of Par 5s where bombers can have an advantage, but it\u2019s much more important to land the ball on the correct side of the fairway off the tee than it is to bomb and pray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather looks to be fantastic Thursday-Saturday with the chance of rain late on Sunday, but they will surely make sure the tournament gets finished before the bad weather moves in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accuracy off the tee and accuracy on approach shots will give players a chance to go low over four rounds, and I suspect someone will get to -18 this week as the winning score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Favorite Holes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hole 4 Par 3, 200 Yards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love this tee shot as there is nothing but water to the left of the green, and the right side is a bail-out area. Players have to have the utmost confidence to go at the pin on this hole, especially the the pin is front left. It\u2019s a great Par 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hole 8 Par 4, 475 Yards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hardest hole on the course, this is a classic example of accuracy off the tee being crucial. Players must hit the right side of the fairway to have an angle into this green which has bunker and water to the left and a sharp runoff to the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hole 15 Par 5, 585 Yards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This hole is really tough to reach in two, but the perfect length and placement of the drive will let a few guys have a chance to give it a shot. It\u2019s high risk though as water and bunkers surround the hole. Most will end up laying up, and then it becomes who can nail their wedges from 100 yards and less out on the third shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_73284\"  width=\"870\" height=\"489\"  data-origwidth=\"870\" data-origheight=\"489\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WipaWl5zuFU?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=1&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;hl=en_US&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"2024 RBC Heritage Picks, Predictions and Betting Odds | How to Bet the RBC Heritage | Tee Time\"  src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/WipaWl5zuFU\/maxresdefault.jpg\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div><span itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WipaWl5zuFU\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"2024 RBC Heritage Picks, Predictions and Betting Odds | How to Bet the RBC Heritage | Tee Time\"><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"\u26f3 The PGA Tour spotlight shines on Harbour Town Golf Links this week as the prestigious RBC Heritage tees off.

The best part of his game is his power off the tee, and it\u2019s one of the least important factors at this course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His approach and putting numbers are outside the Top 30 in this field, and his around-the-green stats are well below average. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s only played this tournament one time and he finished 41st. It\u2019s a bad fit for him, and he still only has one finish better than 19th on Tour this year. I\u2019m not sure if he\u2019ll be a popular pick, but he\u2019s a big-time fade for me this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Patrick Cantlay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has an incredible course history here as he\u2019s finished top 7 in 5 out of the 6 times he\u2019s played here, but he\u2019s not the same player this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s not been accurate off the tee, but his approaches have been especially terrible as he\u2019s -0.28 the last 3 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around the green, he\u2019s been awful as well, and putting is average at best. I\u2019ll take his current form into account much more than course history so he\u2019ll be a big-time stay away this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Max Homa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He played great last week at a course that he normally doesn\u2019t play well at, but he was clearly gearing up for that event, and I see a letdown from him this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He only has 2 top-10 finishes this season, and the last time he finished top 10 he finished 64th the next week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He played here last year and missed the cut, and Max said in an interview that he hadn\u2019t had a drink in a while leading up to the Masters, but he was definitely going to be celebrating after The Masters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s safe to say, he didn\u2019t do anything productive on Monday \ud83d\ude42 and I could see some lingering effects from falling off the wagon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His stats also aren\u2019t that great this season the last 3 months. His putting has been good, but his tee-to-green numbers are well below the field average, and his accuracy from his drives and approaches have left a lot to be desired. He\u2019s a stay away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RBC Heritage: DraftKings Darlings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nick Taylor $6,600<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nick Taylor missed the cut last week, but it\u2019s The Masters, and that\u2019s been his only missed cut this season. He finished 41st here last year so I don\u2019t understand why he\u2019s priced so low, but I\u2019ll take it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lucas Glover $6,800<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glover\u2019s last three finishes are 20th, 25th and 11th and his stats seem to fit this course well as he\u2019s not long off the tee, but he\u2019s accurate, and his strokes gained approach are 12th in this field. His putting hasn\u2019t been good, but those aren\u2019t the numbers that matter. This is a steal of a price in a no cut tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Akshay Bhatia $7700<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Same as Lucas Glover, as Bhatia\u2019s stats fit this course well. He\u2019s not long off the tee, but he\u2019s very accurate and his approach numbers are great. He finished 35th at The Masters, and before that he finished 1st, 11th and 17th so he\u2019s in great form. He missed the cut here last year, but I\u2019ll depend on his current form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other Three: Christian Bezzuidenhout $7600, Brian Harman $7800, Scottie Scheffler $13,300<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*There is no cut this week so everyone will see the weekend so I\u2019m putting Scheffler in hoping he gets one more win before the birth of his new baby. Solid value on the mid to lower priced guys with McCarthy and Harman having upside to finish Top 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"amazing-offer-from-expert-nfl-handicappers\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>**************************************************<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Looking for more free sports picks and sports betting tips?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Latest Betting Odds and Public Action<\/strong><strong>: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/wt.buzz\/odds\" data-schema-attribute=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vegas lines<\/a> updated in real time, including who the public is betting on. <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Last Minute Handicapping Advice<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">: Check out our extensive library of <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/sports-betting-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">handicapping tips<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> and advice from professional Vegas handicappers (we also recommend taking the time to look over our <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sports betting tips video library<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Want an expert opinion?<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> Check out the latest <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/free-sports-picks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Free Sports Picks<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> and <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/picks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Best Bets<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> from our team of expert sports handicappers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>Make sure to bookmark all the above!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2024 RBC Heritage Betting Preview WagerTalk golf handicapper Andy Lang offers his thoughts on the 2024 RBC Heritage teeing off from Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

The greens are some of the smallest on tour so scrambling will be a requirement as it was last week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>There are a couple of Par 5s where bombers can have an advantage, but it\u2019s much more important to land the ball on the correct side of the fairway off the tee than it is to bomb and pray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The weather looks to be fantastic Thursday-Saturday with the chance of rain late on Sunday, but they will surely make sure the tournament gets finished before the bad weather moves in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Accuracy off the tee and accuracy on approach shots will give players a chance to go low over four rounds, and I suspect someone will get to -18 this week as the winning score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Favorite Holes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hole 4 Par 3, 200 Yards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I love this tee shot as there is nothing but water to the left of the green, and the right side is a bail-out area. Players have to have the utmost confidence to go at the pin on this hole, especially the the pin is front left. It\u2019s a great Par 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hole 8 Par 4, 475 Yards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The hardest hole on the course, this is a classic example of accuracy off the tee being crucial. Players must hit the right side of the fairway to have an angle into this green which has bunker and water to the left and a sharp runoff to the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hole 15 Par 5, 585 Yards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>This hole is really tough to reach in two, but the perfect length and placement of the drive will let a few guys have a chance to give it a shot. It\u2019s high risk though as water and bunkers surround the hole. Most will end up laying up, and then it becomes who can nail their wedges from 100 yards and less out on the third shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<iframe src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WipaWl5zuFU?origin=https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com'><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RBC Heritage Field<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>This is now an elevated event so the field looks somewhat similar to last week\u2019s field at the top with Scheffler, Aberg, Morikawa, Homa, and Schauffele playing among others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a short field with an elevated purse so there will be no cut at the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Top 10 Last 3 Months Total Strokes Gained PGA Tour<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>1.

The best part of his game is his power off the tee, and it\u2019s one of the least important factors at this course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>His approach and putting numbers are outside the Top 30 in this field, and his around-the-green stats are well below average. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s only played this tournament one time and he finished 41st. It\u2019s a bad fit for him, and he still only has one finish better than 19th on Tour this year. I\u2019m not sure if he\u2019ll be a popular pick, but he\u2019s a big-time fade for me this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Patrick Cantlay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He has an incredible course history here as he\u2019s finished top 7 in 5 out of the 6 times he\u2019s played here, but he\u2019s not the same player this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s not been accurate off the tee, but his approaches have been especially terrible as he\u2019s -0.28 the last 3 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Around the green, he\u2019s been awful as well, and putting is average at best. I\u2019ll take his current form into account much more than course history so he\u2019ll be a big-time stay away this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Max Homa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He played great last week at a course that he normally doesn\u2019t play well at, but he was clearly gearing up for that event, and I see a letdown from him this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He only has 2 top-10 finishes this season, and the last time he finished top 10 he finished 64th the next week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He played here last year and missed the cut, and Max said in an interview that he hadn\u2019t had a drink in a while leading up to the Masters, but he was definitely going to be celebrating after The Masters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s safe to say, he didn\u2019t do anything productive on Monday :) and I could see some lingering effects from falling off the wagon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>His stats also aren\u2019t that great this season the last 3 months. His putting has been good, but his tee-to-green numbers are well below the field average, and his accuracy from his drives and approaches have left a lot to be desired. He\u2019s a stay away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RBC Heritage: DraftKings Darlings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nick Taylor $6,600<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Nick Taylor missed the cut last week, but it\u2019s The Masters, and that\u2019s been his only missed cut this season. He finished 41st here last year so I don\u2019t understand why he\u2019s priced so low, but I\u2019ll take it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lucas Glover $6,800<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Glover\u2019s last three finishes are 20th, 25th and 11th and his stats seem to fit this course well as he\u2019s not long off the tee, but he\u2019s accurate, and his strokes gained approach are 12th in this field. His putting hasn\u2019t been good, but those aren\u2019t the numbers that matter. This is a steal of a price in a no cut tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Akshay Bhatia $7700<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Same as Lucas Glover, as Bhatia\u2019s stats fit this course well. He\u2019s not long off the tee, but he\u2019s very accurate and his approach numbers are great. He finished 35th at The Masters, and before that he finished 1st, 11th and 17th so he\u2019s in great form. He missed the cut here last year, but I\u2019ll depend on his current form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other Three: Christian Bezzuidenhout $7600, Brian Harman $7800, Scottie Scheffler $13,300<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>*There is no cut this week so everyone will see the weekend so I\u2019m putting Scheffler in hoping he gets one more win before the birth of his new baby. Solid value on the mid to lower priced guys with McCarthy and Harman having upside to finish Top 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"amazing-offer-from-expert-nfl-handicappers\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>**************************************************<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Looking for more free sports picks and sports betting tips?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n<ul>\n\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>Make sure to bookmark all the above!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27254"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27254\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27257,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27254\/revisions\/27257"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27254"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
