World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler enters the 2026 RBC Heritage as the betting favorite at +350 odds. The tournament at Harbour Town Golf Links begins this week as the first PGA Tour event following the Masters, where Scheffler finished runner-up to Rory McIlroy. Most top contenders from Augusta National are in the field, though McIlroy will not play.
Scheffler, who already claims one victory this season, posted his fourth top-4 finish at the Masters. His strong form positions him ahead of the pack at Hilton Head Island. Pre-tournament odds list Xander Schauffele next at +1600, with Cameron Young and Tommy Fleetwood tied at +1800. Matt Fitzpatrick and Russell Henley follow at +2000 each, while Ludvig Aberg and Patrick Cantlay sit at +2200. Collin Morikawa and Sam Burns round out the top 10 at +2500. Other notable players include Jake Knapp and Justin Thomas at +3250, Robert MacIntyre and Jordan Spieth at +3500 or better. The field features nearly all Masters participants except the winner, setting up a competitive test on the Harbour Town layout.
