Russell Henley and Cameron Young opened this week’s RBC Heritage among the shortest betting choices after both finished tied for third at the Masters. (cbssports.com) CBS Sports listed Scottie Scheffler as the favorite at +390, with Xander Schauffele at +1500, Matt Fitzpatrick and Henley at +1600, and Young at +1800. The tournament begins Thursday, April 16, at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. (cbssports.com; pgatour.com) At the Masters, Henley and Young both finished at 10-under-par, four shots behind winner Rory McIlroy and one behind runner-up Scheffler. Tyrrell Hatton and Justin Rose also tied for third at 10 under. (espn.com) The RBC Heritage is one of the PGA Tour’s Signature Events, which means a smaller field and a $20 million purse. The PGA Tour overview lists 700 FedExCup points for the winner. (pgatour.com) Golf Channel reported the 2026 field at 82 players, and tournament coverage says there is no cut, so every player is scheduled for four rounds. That format keeps top names in play through Sunday, even in the week right after Augusta. (golfchannel.com; msn.com) Harbour Town usually rewards control more than raw power, which helps explain why recent betting boards are not built only around the longest hitters. Covers described the course as a 7,243-yard par 71 with narrow fairways and small greens, where precision matters more than distance. (covers.com) That setup cuts two ways for Young. CBS Sports said he has three straight top-three finishes and won The Players Championship, but it also said he finished outside the top 50 at Harbour Town in each of the last three years. (cbssports.com) Henley arrives with a profile that fits the course more neatly. Sportsbook Wire said he entered the week at +1600 after his third-place finish at Augusta National from April 9 through April 12. (sportsbookwire.usatoday.com) The event also brings recent winners back to a course with a distinct history. Justin Thomas is the defending champion after winning in a playoff in 2025, and past champions at Harbour Town include Scheffler, Matt Fitzpatrick and Jordan Spieth. (rbcheritage.com; pgatour.com) The odds board opened with Masters form near the top, but Harbour Town’s track record still points bettors toward players who keep the ball in position for four straight days.
