The golf world has barely had time to process Rory McIlroy's historic Masters triumph, but the PGA Tour waits for no one as attention shifts to the prestigious RBC Heritage at Harbour Town this week.
Defending champion Scottie Scheffler enters as the clear favorite despite coming off what many would consider a disappointing fourth-place finish at Augusta National. The world number one remains in search of his first victory of the 2025 season, yet oddsmakers remain confident, installing him at the top of the betting board with odds between +375 and +400.
Collin Morikawa looks to capitalize on his consistent form, entering with 10/1 odds following a respectable T14 showing at the Masters. This marks Morikawa's sixth consecutive top-20 finish to begin 2025, including runner-up performances at both Kapalua and Bay Hill, suggesting a breakthrough victory may be imminent.
Swedish sensation Ludvig Aberg arrives riding high after briefly holding a share of the Sunday lead at Augusta before ultimately settling for seventh place. His impressive Masters performance has him sitting third in the betting market.
Analysts at Statbet have identified Xander Schauffele as a potential value play this week following his solid T8 finish at the Masters, currently available at 14/1 odds.
Patrick Cantlay rounds out the top five contenders with odds extending to +1600, while former champions look to recapture their Harbour Town magic – 2023 winner Matt Fitzpatrick returns as a longshot at 80/1, and 2022 champion Jordan Spieth sits at +3500 following his T14 Masters result.
The RBC Heritage represents the next signature event on the PGA Tour schedule, offering players who fell short at Augusta an immediate opportunity for redemption at the iconic Harbour Town Golf Links.
