DraftKings PGA DFS Lineup Picks - RBC Heritage (2026)

April 14, 2026

Zach's DraftKings PGA DFS lineup picks for the RBC Heritage (2026). His PGA DFS targets and value plays for daily fantasy golf lineups.

Welcome, everyone, to my DraftKings PGA DFS lineup picks and advice for the 2026 RBC Heritage. I'll be providing DFS picks and analysis to help you set those winning DraftKings lineups.

After an amazing week at Augusta National, the PGA TOUR shifts the stage to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, for the RBC Heritage.  The event jumped around the calendar early in its history, but settled in as the traditional follow-up to the Masters since moving to April in 1983. As a Signature Event this year, it features an elite and limited field playing four rounds on an iconic course with an elevated purse. For fantasy golf, all six players should get in four rounds, barring withdrawal or disqualification, so it's a great week to swing for the fences with all players bringing a higher floor, since they'll play four rounds.

The RotoBaller team has you covered with details on the course, the field, the history of the event, and much more throughout the week, so be sure to check out all the coverage available at the PGA hub on RotoBaller. In this post, I'll break down six of my top DFS fantasy golf plays coming into the week.

Big Dogs: Top-Tier PGA DFS Lineup Picks

Xander Schauffele ($10.5K)

The shot-making demanded at RBC Heritage plays directly to Xander's strengths, and the veteran has a great track record at Harbour Town and comes in with good form. While paying up for Scottie Scheffler ($13,500) is an option you have to consider, Schauffele has also been in outstanding form and offers huge salary savings over Scottie.

Schauffele finished T9 last week at Augusta, his fourth straight top-10 at the Masters. He didn't ever really climb into contention, but he was right around the top 10 all week. His short game was a little shaky, but his Strokes Gained: Approach has been dialed in lately. He leads the entire field in Strokes Gained: Approach over the last 20 rounds and ranks third during that stretch in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green. His accuracy and strategy make him a strong option on difficult tracks and in elite fields like this one.

In his six appearances at Harbour Town, Schauffele has three top-20 finishes, each of the last three years. His best finish was fourth place in 2023, two strokes behind Matt Fitzpatrick, who defeated Jordan Spieth in a playoff. He backed that up with a pair of matching T18 finishes in the last two years.

Schauffele comes back to this tournament with plenty of momentum after six straight top-25 finishes. He has been in the top 10 in each of his last three events with a T3 at THE PLAYERS, a T4 af the Valspar, and last week's T9. With his iron play so sharp and his success here in the past, you could say he has another high finish "in the bag."

Patrick Cantlay ($9.2K)

Schauffele's friend and playing partner at multiple team events, Patrick Cantlay, is another strong play to consider this week. Cantlay hasn't had nearly as much momentum as Xander this season, but he may have turned the corner at Augusta after a brutal Round 1.

He started the week with a 77 and looked headed for a missed cut. In fact, he was one of hte last players to make any birdies at all. Once he started rolling, though, he catapulted up the leaderboard with a 67-66 in Round 2 and Round 3 and finished T12. He led the field at Augusta in Strokes Gained: Around-the-Green and ranked in the top 10 in Strokes Gained: Approach and Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green.

Over the last three months, he ranks 10th in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green and sixth in Strokes Gained: Around the Green, although is putting has held him back a little big in several tournaments.

Cantlay has a great history at Harbour Town, so if he did turn things around for good last week, he could be right back in contention on a course he knows extremely well. He has six top-10 finishes in his eight appearances at this venue with a runner-up finish in 2022 and three third-place finishes. He finished T13 last year at the RBC Heritage, and he is a regular on the leaderboard coming down the stretch towards the iconic lighthouse.

Cantlay has a high ceiling, and his T7 and T12 in his last two starts indicate he's rounding into form just in time for another big week this week.

It’s always fun to hit an outright, especially when it’s over 100/1 and with a player that has a story like Gary Woodland!

Underdogs: Mid-Range PGA DFS Lineup Picks

Jordan Spieth ($8.8K)

Jordan Spieth is a 13-time winner on the PGA TOUR, but he hasn't won since the 2022 RBC Heritage. He has an exceptional course history and brings some momentum after recovering from wrist surgery coming into the 2025 season, which led to some inconsistent results. 

This season, Spieth has made the cut in eight of his nine events, with four top-12 finishes in his last six tournaments. Last week, he finished T12 at The Masters, finishing with a strong 68 on Sunday. His short game and recovery game were on point as usual, and his putter was all that really held him out of contention. Leaving it in the bag was a strong option for him, though:

— The Masters (@TheMasters) April 12, 2026

Spieth has six  top-25 finishes in his nine events at Harbour, including his win in 2022 and a playoff loss in 2023. He finished T18 last year, and he could be right back in the mix if his flat stick can get going this week.

He ranks in the top 25 in this strong field in Strokes Gained: Approach, Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green, and Total Strokes Gained in the last three months. He can sometimes be an adventure and take some detours, but his creativity and ability to recover make him a good fit for Harbour Town and a strong play this week.

Ryo Hisatsune ($7.7K)

Hisatsune didn't play last week at Augusta, but he posted an impressive T8 at the Valero Texas Open two weeks ago. The 23-year-old from Japan has had excellent ball-striking this season and has shown a high ceiling with four top-10 finishes.

He finished T2 at Torrey Pines and T8 at Pebble Beach earlier this season and added a T13 at TPC Sawgrass before his T8 in San Antonio. Over the last three months, he ranks ninth in this strong field in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green and 15th in Total Strokes Gained. His Driving Accuracy is also in the top 20 in the field, along with his Strokes Gained: Approach.

Last year, Hisatsune made his debut at this event and finished T18 with three great rounds to finish out the week after a slower start in Round 1. He will look to pick up where he left off, both last season at this venue and in his most recent event two weeks ago.

While he doesn't quite fit the "proven veteran" category of players who have had the most success in this event lately, his great short game makes him a play to consider this week, since he could put together another excellent week on a tough course in a strong field.

Junkyard Dogs: Top PGA DFS Value Picks

Brian Harman ($7K)

If you're looking for a proven veteran who can grind out pars and contend in tough fields, Brian Harman is another strong option to consider for this week. The 39-year-old lefty may not be able to hit it as far as many other players in the field, but he has looked very solid over the last few weeks and can succeed at the Heritage.

Harman finished T3 in last year's RBC Heritage and has finished in the top 15 in four of the last five years. His extended rouse history here dates all the way back to 2004, though, and he has a total of seven top-25 finishes, including four top-10 finishes. 

While he doesn't have a top-10 finish yet this season, he has a pair of top-25 finishes and has made the cut in six straight events, including last week at Augusta, where he rallied from a seven-over-par Round 1 to make the cut and finish T33.

The shorter course is a good fit for his game, since he emphasizes accuracy over distance, and Harman has a chance to go low and be right in the mix once again in Harbour Town.

Sungjae Im ($6.7K) 

Im missed the first few months of this season with a wrist injury, but he has shown flashes of brilliance since returning and knocking the rust off.

He missed the cut at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and THE PLAYERS, but then he vaulted back into contention at the Valspar.

He had the lead at the end of each of the first three rounds in Innisbrook, but he stumbled on Sunday and finished T4. In his two starts since then, he made the cut, finishing T60 at the Texas Children's Houston Open and T46 at The Masters. 

Without a cut to worry about this week, it's a good week to take a shot on some long shots with upside since they should get to play four rounds, barring withdrawal or disqualification. Im definitely brings upside, based on his shot-making ability and how good he has looked since returning, especially around the green. He was one of the best ball-strikers on the PGA TOUR before his injury, although he did have some inconsistent results last summer. 

Like the rest of the picks in this post, he has a strong track record at Harbour Town. He made the cut in each of his last five trips to the event with no finish outside the top 25. He finished T11 last year, T12 in 2024, and T7 in 2023. If he can get back in the groove he showed at Innisbrook, Im could be one of the best values of the week.
