After finishing second at last week's Masters Tournament, Scottie Scheffler is the odds-on favorite to claim this week's RBC Heritage at Hilton Head Island, S.C. The tournament, which begins on Thursday, will be played on the par-71, 7,243-yard Harbour Town Golf Links. Scheffler enters at +440, while Justin Thomas, who won last year's event, is at +4500.
Before making any 2026 RBC Heritage picks, you NEED to see the predictions and RBC Heritage best bets from elite golf expert Brady Kannon.
Kannon is an elite golfing handicapper with more than 30 years of experience in the industry. He has called eight major winners since 2013 and hit six PGA winners, including 110-1 longshot Harris English at the Farmers Insurance Open in 2025. He also hit on Matt Fitzpatrick (15-1) last week for an outright winner. Additionally, he's 37-32-5 on head-to-head bets since joining SportsLine. Anyone who followed his lead could have been WAY UP!
Now, Kannon has been digging into the 2026 RBC Heritage field to find the best betting value and just locked in his RBC Heritage best bets to back. We can tell you he's fading Sepp Straka, even though he is 40-1 at Hilton Head Island.
"Straka definitely makes sense at this golf course, given his skill set but he hasn't been sharp in his last two starts," Kannon said. "I believe his price here is too short, and despite that, he appears to be a very popular choice this week. That is a combination of red flags that has me staying away from Straka and maybe even someone that I will directly oppose in a head-to-head matchup."
Kannon has revealed his best bet, and it's a longshot higher than 80-1 who might be the best course fit in the entire field!
