RBC Heritage 2023 Early Betting Odds, Plus Course And Event Preview
We come down from our Masters golf-high slightly this week when the RBC Heritage 2023 tees off Thursday, April 13 at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
New No. 1 in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR), Jon Rahm, won The Masters Tournament 2023 in a snoozer final round. Rahm won by four strokes with a -12 score and slammed the door shut Sunday.
Generally, fields suck at PGA Tour events the week after a major. But, the RBC Heritage is one of the PGA Tour's 20 "elevated events" with a $20 million prize pool and the winner's share is $3.6 million.
Harbour Town is a Par 71 that plays to 7,191 yards. Four Par 3s, three Par 5s and 11 Par 4s with Bermudagrass greens. It's easy to hit the fairways at Harbour Town and the rough is less penal.
Notable opt-outs from the RBC Heritage are Will Zalatoris (No. 8 in OWGR) who underwent season-ending back surgery, Hideki Matsuyama (No. 21 in OWGR) and Rory McIlroy (No. 3 in OWGR).
My losing streak betting golf has been extended to nine straight events after dropping -1.39 units (u) on the 2023 Masters. My PGA Tour 2022-23 season balance is down to -2.81u despite picking four outright winners.
