Fantasy Golf Picks, Odds, and Predictions for the RBC Heritage from Harbour Town

This Week’s 2015 RBC Heritage Preview

We couldn’t be happier for the 21-year old break out star Jordan Spieth after his impressive 2015 Masters win—and the boost he gave our fantasy roster didn’t hurt either!  The now No. 2 World Ranked Spieth will join RBC Heritave defending champion Matt Kuchar this week at the beautiful Harbour Town Golf Links in an effort to continue his amazing hot streak.

Luke Donald, a horse for the course, will try to finally capture his first victory here, on a track where he has gone 47 under over the last six editions.  We should also see some big names spill over from Augusta, including World No. 8 Jim Furyk (winner here in 2010) and Brandt Snedeker (winner here in 2011).

It’s also worth noting that Matt Kuchar will try to become just the fourth back-to-back winner at this event with a win this week.

Last Week’s Fantasy Results

Spieth’s victory last week represents our fifth winner picked in the first 20 events of the 2014-2015 wrap-around season (a 25% win ratio).  We’re hoping a lot of you took our advice and added Spieth to your roster last week and won some serious money in the big DraftKings game as a result.

In total for the week our fantasy selections made 6 of 7 cuts (losing Holmes by 1-stroke) and earned a total of $2,200,000 for the 2015 Masters which makes our new weekly average winnings $1,045,210 (through 20 events).

We’re also happy to report that all five of our Tuesday Sleeper Report picks made the cut earning a total of $603,833 for the week with none finishing worse than T33 and Ian Poulter leading the pack with with a T6 finish ($335,000).

The Field

It will be a nice jam-packed field this week in South Carolina and all eyes will be on World No. 2 and nwe Masters champion Jordan Spieth—watch how much his DraftKings value jumps this week!  Spieth comes into the RBC Heritage on the hottest tear he’s ever endured in his short career, having finished no worse than second since mid-March.

Spieth will be looking to ride the momentum into Harbour Town and will join defending champions Matt Kuchar, Ian Poulter, Jim Furyk and Brandt Snedeker.

The total field consists of 10 of the top 30 in the world rankings and even old-timer Tom Watson will be returning for his 25th attempt here.  The field will be a little easier to choose from this week then it was last week, but you can’t overlook some of the no-namers either.  There are sure to be few guys we like this week that you may not think of, but more on that in our picks segment below.

The Course

Harbour Town Golf Links measures in at 7,101 yards and plays as a par 71.  The course was Jack Nicklaus’ first attempt at golf course design and needless to say, he and Pete Dye really nailed it!

Although a (relatively) short track, Harbour Town has its fair share of challenge with small and narrow fairways that lead up to incredibly contoured greens.  The Scottish style track requires well-positioned shots to even have a chance of getting under par.

Plenty of water and oak trees make Harbour Town tough to navigate and we’ll see our fair share of errant shots this week for sure.

Weather Forecast for Hilton Head, SC

A wet track is expected this week with rain fall in the forecast from Tuesday through Sunday (with a small reprieve expected Saturday).  Although rain is tolerable, it’s the wind factor that affects the game and right now, the forecast is calling for modest winds of 4-8 mph throughout Thursday-Sunday.

Overall, the weather shouldn’t be much of a factor this week but the course will most likely play a little slower and scores may look better than previous editions.

2014 RBC Heritage Results

Last year Matt Kuchar stole the show with an amazing victory beating out Luke Donald on the final hole in dramatic fashion.  Kuch’s holeout sealed the deal on a 6-under-par 64 and completed his impressive comeback from a four-shot deficit where he had started the day.

You may remember a few events before when Kuchar blew the lead in Texas to lose in a playoff but he charged back hard a few weeks later to win the 2014 RBC Heritage.

Luke Donald’s 2014 runner-up finish was his third at Harbour Town in six attempts and he even has a pair of third place finishes in there too.

Where to Play Fantasy Golf this Week

This week we like the PGA $100K Birdie [$100,000 Guaranteed] event on DraftKings as your best chance for a nice payout on only a $3 entry (or get in free if it’s your first time depositing).  Most likely you’ll be in a pool with over 12K participants but the prize pool looks really generous this week for only a $3 dollar entry ticket.  First place walks away with $10,000 and prizes are paid all the way up to 7,850th place!  Best of all, we can help get you there with our in-depth salary cap picks below.

Did we mention that DraftKings has officially opened the doors for their next Major event?  Given all the success of last week’s $2.2 million Masters contest, DraftKings is upping the ante for the U.S. Open with an even bigger prize pool set at $2.5 million dollars.  Grab an entry here and enter an early satellite league to win your way in to the big event before its too late!

By the way, in case you missed it, one guy walked away with the $1 million top prize from last week’s Masters Millionaire Maker.  That’s almost as much as Jordan Spieth took home from Augusta!

This Week’s RBC Heritage Fantasy Notes

We’ll be targeting players this week with solid Greens in Regulation stats and hot putting hands.  Harbour Town ranked second-lowest in GIR in 2014 with just 56.21 percent and it saw the fewest GIR among all courses in 2013.

Harbour Town has always been a tough track to compete on, so we’ll do a little more homework this week to find you studs and sleepers who can tear this track up.
