Jordan Spieth comes in with momentum as he looks to defend his title at this week’s 2023 RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links. Spieth defeated Patrick Cantlay on the first hole of a playoff last year, and now he comes in off a tie for fourth at last week’s Masters. He will have to contend with a loaded field that was bolstered by the PGA Tour making RBC Heritage 2023 a designated event. That means Masters champ Jon Rahm will be on hand, along with Cantlay, Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa and many other stars.
Scheffler is the 8-1 favorite, just ahead of Rahm (17-2), in Caesars Sportsbook’s latest 2023 RBC Heritage odds. Cantlay (14-1), Spieth (18-1) and Morikawa (18-1) all are among the favorites, as a dozen players in the 2023 RBC Heritage field are priced shorter than 30-1. They also include Viktor Hovland (20-1), Xander Schauffele (22-1), Tony Finau (22-1) and Cameron Young (22-1). Before making any 2023 RBC Heritage picks, be sure you check out the PGA Tour predictions and best bets from SportsLine golf insider Sia Nejad.
Nejad specializes in betting and DFS in golf, among other sports. He’s had incredible success in the outright and first-round leader markets and betting head-to-head matchups. In 2022, he hit six first-round leaders in a 12-week span while peppering in tournament outrights throughout the year. In 2023, Sportsline debuted “The Early Wedge,” and in the first three months of the show, he hit two FRLs and three outright winners. Nejad also had a winning head-to-head record in eight of 10 weeks (including full tournament sweeps on head-to-head plays). He was up more than 70 units over that three-month span.
Now, Nejad has studied the 2023 RBC Heritage field and has locked in his best bets, top sleepers and favorites to avoid. You can head to SportsLine now to see all of Nejad’s PGA picks and analysis.
Top 2023 RBC Heritage expert picks
In a huge surprise, Nejad is fading Finau, even though he is priced in line with the most accomplished golfers in the field. The 33-year-old already has a victory this season and won twice in 2021-22, but he hasn’t finished in the top 10 since late January. He hasn’t been higher than T-14 since then, and his tie for 26th at the Masters was his worst in that span. Finau’s stats are solid across the board, but he hasn’t been a real contender. Nejad doesn’t see that changing at Harbour Town. “I’ve seen little evidence as of late that he can win in this elite field,” the expert says.
Meanwhile, Nejad loved what he saw from Hovland at Augusta, and the expert says it’s just a matter of time before he gets a signature win.” The Norwegian traveled a rocky road on Sunday at the Masters, finishing 2 over for the day. He still tied for seventh, and Nejad says “he was dialed in for most of the tournament.” Hovland has three straight top-10 finishes, all in top-tier events, and shot 68 or better in three of four rounds in his only RBC appearance, tying for 21st in 2020. The 25-year-old is fifth on tour in scoring average (69.23) and fourth in total driving. See who he is backing at SportsLine.
