Field to Look For at 2024 RBC Heritage

The 2024 RBC Heritage is set to feature a highly competitive field including both seasoned champions and emerging talents. Key contenders include Byeong Hun An, known for his strong ball-striking; Chris Kirk, who comes off a recent win at The Sentry; and Patrick Cantlay, recognized for his strategic consistency.

Rory McIlroy remains a perennial favorite due to his formidable all-around game. Rising stars like Wyndham Clark, with recent major victories, and Grayson Murray, known for his aggressive play, are also expected to make strong showings. Newcomer Nick Dunlap, following his remarkable win at The American Express as an amateur, is another one to watch.

Established players such as Scottie Scheffler, Viktor Hovland, and Nick Taylor, each bringing consistent and strategic gameplay, are poised to contend at the picturesque Harbour Town Golf Links.

RBC Heritage 2024 Expert Picks

Rory McIlroy for the upcoming tournament, despite McIlroy being one of the top picks with odds of +1200. Currently ranked second globally, McIlroy has had limited experience at Harbour Town, making only his third appearance and his first since 2020 when he placed 41st. This season, McIlroy’s best finish was third at the Valero Texas Open, but he placed only 22nd at the Masters and had several other mediocre finishes.

On the other hand, Will Zalatoris is a +2800 underdog. After recovering from surgery to fix herniated discs, Zalatoris has achieved impressive results, including three top-10 finishes in his last five starts. He recently tied for ninth at the Masters. Zalatoris’s current form could lead him to a win, despite his limited history at the RBC.
