The Masters gave us four days of picture-perfect conditions and storylines, ending with Rory McIlroy winning his second consecutive green jacket. For a follow-up act, the Tour heads to the beach at Hilton Head for the RBC Heritage, the fourth of eight Signature Events this season.
The field once again is stacked, with world No. 1 and Masters runner-up Scottie Scheffler leading 82 golfers (including many elites in the Official World Golf Ranking) to the Harbour Town Golf Links for this no-cut event.
McIlroy isn’t there, but 54-hole co-leader Cameron Young is, as well as former RBC Heritage champion Matt Fitzpatrick and two-time major champion Xander Schauffele. Harbour Town is a course that takes the power out of the drives and demands accuracy off the tee and solid mid-irons to reach relatively small greens.
Let's break down our RBC Heritage predictions and PGA picks this week, including picks for potential winners or top-10 finishers in the event.

2026 RBC Heritage Picks, Predictions to Win
Here are four golfers to consider for your 2026 RBC Heritage picks on PrizePicks Team Picks. Also listed are payouts for each golfer to win and finish in the top 10 or 20.
Russell Henley RBC Heritage Prediction
Russell Henley RBC Heritage Winner Payout: Yes 14.28x
Top 10 Payout: Yes 2.32x | No 1.56x
- At the RBC Heritage, Russell Henley has three top-10 finishes and has been 12th or better in each of the last three years.
- Henley is fifth in driving accuracy and 46th on approach, exactly what you need here: accurate drives and sharp irons. Add that he's third in scrambling (another need with tough landing spots), and this course is made for him.
- The Georgia Bulldog has finished in the top 20 in six of eight events this year and in 14 of his last 16 starts.
- Henley finished third last week at the Masters. His 66-68 on the weekend at Augusta was the second-best total behind Scheffler.

Matt Fitzpatrick RBC Heritage Prediction
Matt Fitzpatrick Winner Payout: Yes 11.11x
Top 10 Payout: Yes 4x | No 1.25x
- The RBC Heritage is one of Matt Fitzpatrick’s self-proclaimed favorite courses, as his family used to vacation there and he grew up playing it.
- He won the event in 2023 and also has a fourth-place slotting in 2021 and multiple top-15 finishes.
- Fitzpatrick is having his best season since that 2023 win, with six top-25 finishes in the last seven events on Tour, including a runner-up at the Players and a win at Valspar.
- The Northwestern product is third in accuracy, seventh on approach, second in hitting greens, and seventh in shots gained total.
Si Woo Kim RBC Heritage Prediction
Si Woo Kim RBC Heritage Winner Payout: Yes 22.22x
Top 20 Payout: Yes 1.88x | No 1.85x
- Si Woo Kim had a disappointing Masters appearance, finishing 47th, but has been among the PGA Tour leaders all season.
- He has six top-15 finishes this year, including a runner-up finish at The Farmers, a third-place finish at Phoenix, and a sixth-place finish at the American Express.
- The Korean leads the Tour in driving accuracy, is third on approach, fourth tee-to-green, and 18th in SG total.
- The RBC Heritage is an event Kim has had success in, finishing eighth last year. He was also tied for 18th in 2024 and had a runner-up finish back in 2018.
J.T. Poston RBC Heritage Prediction
J.T. Poston RBC Heritage Winner Payout: Yes 33.33x
Top 20 Payout: Yes 3.22x | No 1.29x
- J.T. Poston isn’t a big name on Tour and didn’t qualify for last week’s Masters. When it comes to RBC Heritage, however, it’s a different story.
- The course fits his game, resulting in five top-11 finishes in seven career appearances.
- He finished T-11 last year when this was a Signature Event and T-5 two years ago. He also has a T-3, T-8, and T-9 long before the event was elevated.
- One of the few players in the field who didn't tee it up last week, Poston is more rested and finished T-21 at Valero in his previous event.
