RotoBaller's top PGA player props, best bets, and matchup picks for the 2026 RBC Heritage. Get commission-free odds and market edges with Novig golf picks.
Hi golf fans, and thanks for joining me again here at RotoBaller! This week, we'll take a look at some of the juicier matchup spots and finishing position props available for the year's first major championship -- The Masters. While we split last week's matchups portion of the article, we did have a nice outright sweat with Ryo Hisatsune, who eventually finished with a T8 at Valero.
This week's picks will all be using the odds on the most unique and fastest-growing sports prediction sites -- Novig. If you're not familiar with the site, I'll explain how it works and provide some of my favorite wagers to place on Novig. There are lots of juicy numbers available for the year's first major!
As always, make sure you're following RotoBaller on X and download the RotoBaller app for all your season-long, DFS, and betting needs. Now, here are some of my favorite PGA bets and props for the 2026 Masters.
What is Novig?
Novig is one of the fastest-growing peer-to-peer sports prediction markets. On Novig, users trade directly with each other, without the "vig" typically associated with a sportsbook. The vig is the fee sportsbooks charge you to use their services. It's a hidden cost that can be found in the odds that are being offered on each side of a specific bet. When a book offers -110 odds on both sides of a bet, it is keeping close to 10% of every bettor's wager, regardless of whether you win or lose.
On Novig, users trade with each other on the outcomes of sporting events, similarly to the way that investors trade on the stock market. But instead of having to beat the books, you just have to win against other users -- there's no commission kept by the site.
Users can bet on most traditional sports markets, including moneyline bets, spreads, totals, tournament matchups, player props, parlays, and futures!
Novig operates with two virtual currencies. Novig coins can be wagered for fun and to test out strategies, while Novig cash can be wagered on all markets and then redeemed for real cash prizes.
Access to Novig is widespread; it's now accessible in 36 U.S. states.
How Does Novig Work?
Since users are not playing against the books, there is an opportunity to make more money per wager that you win, and users can usually find better values on bets (in terms of the prices being offered) than on traditional sportsbooks.
There are no oddsmakers; users dictate their own odds. You can either accept the odds that the market is offering or set your own odds.
If you set your own odds, another user has to accept them on the other side for the bet to be activated.
Users drive the market, not the sportsbook or oddsmakers!
PGA Tournament Matchup Picks
All odds are from Novig and were accurate/available as of 4/14/2026. Odds are subject to change.
Si Woo Kim (+113 at Novig) OVER Collin Morikawa
Listen, I'll be the first person to raise my hand and say how impressive Morikawa's performance in last week's Masters was. Battling back and neck injuries that forced him to WD from The PLAYERS Championship after just one hole, the two-time major champion bunted his way to a hard-to-believe T7 at Augusta National, despite - by his own admission - only being able to swing the club at about 70% of his normal speed.
Collin Morikawa says his performance this week at the Masters while recovering from injury is one of the best tournaments he’s ever played:

While it was without a doubt an awesome feat, is it sustainable? Though he's a great fit for this layout when at full strength - though he does three finishes outside the top-25 over his last five trips to Harbour Town - I could see multiple paths to Morikawa not even finishing the RBC Heritage this week.
Due to those doubts, give the plus-money number on Si Woo Kim available at Novig. Playing excellent golf in his own right, Kim has flashed razor-sharp form over the last six months, already recording four top-10 finishes this year. The South Korean is also a well-known Pete Dye whisperer, having won at Dye designs in Florida and California, not to mention a runner-up finish here at Harbour Town in 2018 and a T8 in last year's edition.
Jordan Spieth (+100 at Novig) OVER Sam Burns
Following last week's Masters, Jordan Spieth told reporters that he'd hit the ball better for the week than when he actually won the green jacket. It wasn't hyperbole, as the numbers back up Spieth's assessment. He finished the Masters ranked fifth in the field in SG: Approach and eighth overall in SG: Tee To Green.
The Texan was held back at Augusta National by a balky putter that left him 50th in the field in SG: Putting for the year's first major championship. However, he's found more success on the greens at Harbour Town, gaining strokes with the flatstick in each of his last three trips to Hilton Head.
Jordan Spieth converts the short birdie look on 15 to retake a one-shot lead at the @RBC_heritage. 💪

That consistency in the RBC Heritage led to a victory in the 2022 edition, and with his ball-striking firmly trending up, Spieth should once again find himself in contention this year.

PGA Finishing Position Props
All odds are from Novig and were accurate as of 4/14/2026. Odds are subject to change.
Maverick McNealy WINNER (+4900 at Novig)
This week's Signature Event is headlined by hard-to-ignore superstars, but for those willing to go a little further up the betting board, Mav McNealy's outright number at Novig really catches the eye. The Californian is listed as +3000-3500 around the industry, so this nearly +5000 at Novig stands out as a juicy value in this spot.
McNealy's isn't blessed with an overabundance of power, which makes me more willing to take an outright flier on him on a short layout such as Harbour Town - a course where his skill set can shine. That's been the case for the Stanford alum in previous RBC Heritage starts, as he's logged a pair of top-five finishes in this event since 2021.
A T39 last week in the Masters doesn't really tell the full story of how well he played. He battled back to make the cut after an opening-round 77 in tough conditions, recording back-to-back rounds of 70 before firing a beautiful final-round 67. He'll bring that positive momentum to a layout that suits his game much better this week.
Ryo Hisatsune WINNER (+8991 at Novig)
The Japanese rising star has been a frequent flier on my betting card this year, and though we're still chasing an elusive outright win with him, Hisatsune has been a rock-solid investment in 2026. Still just 23-years-old, the youngster is finding his way nicely at the PGA Tour level. He's already recorded four top-10 finishes this year, including a T8 in his most recent start at the Valero Texas Open.
The big takeaway from that outing was his impressive iron play - a major factor when predicting success this week at Harbour Town. Hisatsune ranked first in the Valero field in SG: Approach for the week and stands an impressive 18th on the PGA Tour this year.
While his RBC Heritage experience isn't extensive, it is encouraging. He logged a rock-solid T18 in his event debut last season, and heads to the 2026 renewal in even better form. A GIR machine (1st on Tour in GIR%), this is a tremendous course fit for a player who has been trending for months.
