Just days after winning a second green jacket, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will head to Harbour Town for the 2024 RBC Heritage. The first tee times come at 8:15 a.m. ET on Thursday. Scheffler has three wins and a runner-up in his last four starts, and he is the 18-5 favorite in the 2024 RBC Heritage odds. Xander Schauffele sits second on the PGA odds board at 10-1 after finishing eighth at Augusta National, while Rory McIlroy is 11-1. The 2024 RBC Heritage field is loaded with other talented golfers, including Ludvig Aberg (12-1) and Patrick Cantlay (16-1).
Aberg's stock continues to sore after finishing second at the Masters in his first major championship appearance. Should you back him at double-digit odds with your 2024 RBC Heritage bets? Before locking in your 2024 RBC Heritage picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up almost $10,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
McClure's model correctly predicted Scottie Scheffler would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2024 Masters, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and The Players Championship this season. McClure also included Hideki Matsuyama in his best bets to win the 2024 Genesis Invitational. That bet hit at +9000, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned nearly $1,000.
The model also predicted Jon Rahm would be victorious at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. At the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm's second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scheffler winning in 2022.
In addition, McClure's best bets included Nick Taylor (70-1) winning the 2023 RBC Canadian Open, Jason Day (17-1) winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson, and Rickie Fowler (14-1) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic.
This same model has also nailed a whopping 11 majors entering the weekend and hit the Masters three straight years. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now that the RBC Heritage 2024 field is finalized, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
Top 2024 RBC Heritage predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2024 RBC Heritage: Schauffele, a seven-time winner on the PGA Tour and one of the top favorites, struggles this week and doesn't even crack the top five. Schauffele has been red-hot in recent weeks, finishing inside the top 10 in four of his last five starts on the PGA Tour. He's coming off an eighth-place finish at the Masters and secured a runner-up showing at The Players Championship in March.
However, Schauffele has struggled with his putting this season and hasn't won a PGA Tour event since 2022. The 30-year-old enters this week's event ranked 59th in putts per round (28.68), 79th in strokes gained: putting (0.117) and 80th in one-putt percentage (40.14%). Harbour Town places a premium on putting, which doesn't bode well for Schauffele's chances to finish on top of the leaderboard this week.
Another surprise: Tommy Fleetwood, a 20-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Fleetwood has made the cut in six of his first seven PGA Tour events this season, and he is coming off a T3 at the Masters last week.
The 33-year-old also carded top-10 finishes at the Genesis Invitational and Valero Texas Open after posting nine top-10s in 21 events last year. Fleetwood finished inside the top 15 at this event last year and inside the top 10 in 2022. He ranks second on the PGA Tour in driving accuracy, which puts him in contention on a weekly basis.
