RBC Heritage 2025 Betting Preview And Picks

Following the first major of the year at The Masters and world No. 2 Rory McIlroy’s triumphant return to winning major championships and his first Green Jacket and third PGA Tour win in 2025, the top PGA Tour pros head 140 miles Southeast to Hilton Head Island for the 2025 RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links. The $20 million Signature Event drew a field of 71 with 26 of the top 30 players in the world rankings but not McIlroy. I provide a golf betting preview in Forbes with links added here plus additional information you can bet on.

Last year when I was provided added golf content and picks for FanDuel and affiliate sites, we flushed another 8-iron in close with a Top-20 winner on Tommy Fleetwood, who finished T15. We’re high on Fleetwood and others again this week as the top players from The Masters take a swing at Harbour Town.

RBC Heritage 2025 Golf Odds

Harbour Town Golf Links

A players favorite on the Pete Dye design, Harbour Town Golf Links is a Par 71 tree-lined track that plays to 7,213 yards for the RBC Heritage event. Experience helps as players navigate a claustrophotic course where water is in play on all 18 holes. Golfers shape shots into tiny greens that average 3,700 square feet – second smallest on the PGA Tour. The perennial ryegrass rough is down from last year’s cut of 2.5 inches.

The doglegs around the trees and penalty areas don’t allow for the big hitters to separate themselves off the tee, as players often hit to similar target areas with more approach shots from 175 yards range.
