The post-Masters tour tees off on Thursday when the 2021 RBC Heritage gets underway from Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, S.C. This has traditionally been one of the most competitive tournaments on the PGA Tour as only two events over the last decade have been won by more than one stroke and five of the last 11 events have gone to a playoff. There are 37 golfers who played in last week’s Masters who are scheduled to compete in the RBC Heritage 2021, which carries a $7.1 million prize pool with the winner getting $1.278 million.South Carolina native Dustin Johnson is the favorite per William Hill Sportsbook as his 2021 RBC Heritage odds come in at 10-1. Defending champion Webb Simpson is also in the 2021 RBC Heritage field and will look to become the first back-to-back winner in over a dozen years and he’s listed at 12-1, followed by Patrick Cantlay at 16-1. Before locking in any 2021 RBC Heritage picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed last June. In fact, it’s up over $10,100 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.Last week at the Masters, McClure nailed Jon Rahm’s (+250) top-five finish, as well as Corey Conners’ (+550) top-10 showing. McClure’s best bets netted over $450 at the Masters.
In addition, McClure was all over Daniel Berger’s win at +1400 in his best bets at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February. McClure also nailed Viktor Hovland’s (+2500) victory in the Mayakoba Golf Classic in December. That was one of many huge calls he’s made in the past few months.This same model has nailed a whopping six majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.Now that the 2021 RBC Heritage field is locked, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
The model’s top 2021 RBC Heritage predictions One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2021 RBC Heritage: Abraham Ancer, who finished runner-up at this event in 2020, stumbles big-time and doesn’t even crack the top 10. Ancer shot 21-under at last year’s event, which is the second-lowest score in the 51-year history of the tournament, trailing only 2020 winner Webb Simpson’s 22 under.The 30-year-old Ancer is coming off a T26 finish at the 2021 Masters, which was his second appearance at the event. His ranking would have been in the top 20 had he not been assessed a two-stroke penalty for an unintentional bunker error on Thursday. Ancer is toward the bottom of PGA Tour players in both driving distance (ranked 166th) and strokes gained around the green (ranked 122nd), putting him at a disadvantage at the 2021 RBC Heritage.Another surprise: Matthew Fitzpatrick, a 30-1 long shot who has never won on the PGA Tour, makes a strong run at the title. The Englishman is coming off a tied for 34th place finish at the 2021 Masters and is the No. 17 ranked player in the Official World Golf Ranking. Fitzpatrick is hitting the ball very well as of late with three top-10 finishes over his last six events, in addition to a win on the European Tour in December.
Harbour Town Golf Links is known for its tight fairways and accuracy off the tee is what Fitzpatrick excels at. He ranks 17th on tour in driving accuracy (68 percent) and ranks 15th in total strokes gained (1.468). He has been in contention for most events this year and the model predicts that Fitzpatrick has a good chance to finally break through and get his first PGA Tour victory, making him a great value for 2021 RBC Heritage bets. How to make 2021 RBC Heritage picksThe model is targeting four other golfers with odds higher than 25-1 to make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these underdogs could hit it big.
