The PGA Tour stops at Harbour Town Golf Links for the RBC Heritage this week, and it’s a loaded field for the fourth signature event of the season.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is the betting favorite in the RBC Heritage odds following his weekend surge in the Masters, but my top sleeper and longshot RBC Heritage picks for the week look further down the board and are headlined by Sepp Straka.

RBC Heritage sleeper predictions

Sleeper pick to win: Sepp Straka
+5000 at BetMGM

In addition to two Top 5s at Harbour Town, Sepp Straka also paced the field in true strokes gained on approach last year during his T13 finish.

The four-time PGA Tour winner is a ball-striking machine and ranks 12th in true strokes gained on approach across his past seven events, with the stretch including four Top-20 finishes.

The rising star has been popping on leaderboards all season with four Top 10s across his past eight events, including his T8 at the Valero two weeks ago. Of course, Hisatsune also finished T18 here last year.

He enters the week with true strokes gained across the board during the highlighted eight-event heater, including ranking eighth in this field in true strokes gained tee-to-green and 10th on approach.

Sleeper pick to win: Brian Harman
+7000 at BetMGM

This will be the 17th trip to Harbour Town for Brian Harman, and he’s carded a T7-T12-T3 run the past three years. He also battled back admirably at Augusta National after an opening-round 79 to finish T33.

I particularly value the veteran gaining true strokes on approach in four consecutive events, and he’s gained true strokes on the greens in each of his past 13 trips to Harbour Town. This track fits Harman’s game.

Neil takes a numbers-based approach to his handicapping and complements his in-depth statistical analysis with a keen eye on the markets to provide the best available odds. He loves to lean on his rolodex of idioms to offset his inner nerd. When it comes to wagering, he throws down on anything that catches his eye at bet365, Betway and BetVictor. He also keeps a close eye on CoolBet because the polar bear brand often has outlier NHL and NFL moneyline prices.

Neil graduated with honors from St. Thomas University in 2007 before completing his BEd at Acadia University in 2010. After teaching a myriad of courses and subjects, he found a groove delivering fun lessons to exceptional learners in non-traditional classroom environments. If his decade-plus teaching run taught him anything about sports betting, it’s to stay the course and use the summer – or offseason – to refresh and prepare to be better in the year to come.
