Matt Fitzpatrick Set for Another Strong Showing at RBC Heritage
Matt Fitzpatrick struggled with his putter at The Masters, losing over 1.78 strokes on the greens, but still put together a solid tournament, finishing T18. He now turns his attention to the RBC Heritage, where he has five prior top-25 finishes, including a win in 2023. His best results here have typically come when both his off the tee play and putting are clicking. This year, he ranks second in strokes gained tee to green (+1.667 per round), seventh on approach (+0.810), 22nd around the green (+0.309), and 94th in putting (-0.083). He has also been elite off the tee in terms of accuracy, sitting third on Tour and hitting over 70% of fairways. Fitzpatrick's recent form has been excellent, and at a course where he has already had success, he profiles as an elite option at $10,000 on DraftKings.

Jason Day Eyes Bounce-Back After Sunday Struggles at the Masters
Jason Day had a difficult Sunday at The Masters, entering the final round just three strokes off the lead before posting a three-over 75 to fall back to T12. Despite the strong overall finish, he'll look to move past that performance at the RBC Heritage. In eight trips to Harbour Town, Day has recorded four top-25 finishes along with two missed cuts. Success here typically favors precision over raw power, which should suit his game. He ranks 48th in driving accuracy, 10th around the green (+0.457), and 26th in putting (+0.482). However, he has struggled elsewhere, sitting 132nd on approach (-0.352) and is in just the 56th percentile in proximity from 150-200 yards, a range that made up over 43% of approach shots here last year. Day relies heavily on his short game, but concerns with his iron play could hold him back at his $8,000 price tag on DraftKings.

Akshay Bhatia Looking to Rebound at Harbour Town
Akshay Bhatia missed the cut at The Masters, losing 4.55 strokes tee to green, though the putter was once again solid, gaining over 2.05 strokes. He now heads to the RBC Heritage, where he's recorded a missed cut, T18, and T42, with short game and off-the-tee issues holding him back in all three appearances. However, Bhatia has been solid overall this season, ranking 18th in strokes gained tee to green (+0.916), eighth on approach (+0.792), and ninth in putting (+0.730). He also ranks 88th in driving accuracy and sits in the 91st percentile in proximity from 150-200 yards, a range that made up over 43% of approach shots here last year. At $7,700 on DraftKings, this shorter course should set up well for Bhatia, as he can lean on his approach play and putting to give himself a chance to climb the leaderboard.

Cameron Young Hoping to Secure Second Win of Season at RBC Heritage

Justin Thomas Looks to Defend in Hilton Head
Coming off a disappointing T41 at The Masters, Justin Thomas will return to the site of his lone PGA Tour victory last season. He was able to get hot with the irons and putter en route to claiming the plaid jacket, which has arguably been the two most unpredictable parts of his game since the beginning of last year's playoff events. In those seven events played during that time, the Crimson Tide alum has lost strokes on approach in five of them, and on the green in four. His strokes gained per shot from 150-200 yards have fallen 44% compared to his two-year baseline, which is the most prominent approach range at Harbour Town. J.T. has all the tools and knowledge to make a swift turnaround, but he's too volatile at the moment to be trusted for DFS purposes.

Jordan Spieth in Search of Improved Putting at RBC Heritage
It was an acceptable week in Augusta for Jordan Spieth, who finished T12, ranking fifth in the field in strokes gained on approach (1.48) and sixth in strokes gained around the green (0.79). He also hit the second-most greens in regulation, with a percentage of 76.4%. The only thing holding the three-time major champion back is the flat stick. He's lost strokes putting in three of his last four starts. His 98th current ranking on the season in three-putt avoidance likely has a lot to do with that. Luckily, the tiny greens of Harbour Town should somewhat diminish that worry. The volitility off the tee is always a lingering issue that isn't the greatest fit for this layout, but that's partly what makes him an entertaining watch. Nonetheless, Spieth is a fine play for certain lineups, especially in course horse builds. Winning this event in 2022, his track record here has been better than most in the field.

Marco Penge May Continue Up-and-Down Ride at the RBC Heritage
Marco Penge has truly been on a roller coaster for most of 2026. The English golfer almost missed the cut at Augusta after opening with a 76. Penge closed with a 78. It is strange but in five finals rounds, Penge has never finished below a 70. Every other event his approach to the green has been well into negative territory. Worse, Penge's driving accuracy is a mere 49.22% (154th). With so many numbers in the red including approach to the green and putting, it is no surprise why Penge ranks 130th in scoring average at 71.11. This is another week where not rostering Penge in DFS especially is a dangerous option at best.

Xander Schauffele Could Get The Job Done at RBC Heritage
Xander Schauffele has been knocking on the door of another career victory over his last three starts. The only reason he hasn't yet is the costly single rounds that get him out of position. He posted a final round of 68 at The Masters to break into the top 10, ranking second on the week in strokes gained on approach (1.88) and fifth in strokes gained off the tee (1.11). His game seems to be in a solid place heading to Hilton Head for the year's fourth Signature Event. If he can avoid making a mess on and around the greens, Schauffele is one of the strongest DFS plays of the week.

Jake Knapp Keeps Building Strong Results in 2026
Jake Knapp just keeps rolling along with seven top-25 results in eight events in 2026. The American golfer has not finished worse than 11th, other than the one missed cut at The Players. He leads all golfers in overall strokes gained at 2.002. Furthermore, he has gained 1.285 strokes putting, which ranks second on the PGA Tour. Knapp even combines driving distance with a shred of accuracy. He drives the ball 320.2 yards (sixth) and 69th with accuracy. His only real weakness is overall sand-save percentage, with a 68.3 scoring average (leads the tour). Knapp is a fun betting option for this week's event at Hilton Head.

Kurt Kitayama Trying to Regain Form From Florida
Kurt Kitayama was playing really well. The American golfer held on to a Top 20 result at the Arnold Palmer only to fall back at THE Players Championship. Since then, he has been mired in a slump. That appeared to be over after an opening round 69 at Augusta, However, a 79 and 75 kept Kitayama well out of contention at the Masters. One of the big problems is that Kitayama loses 0.227 strokes putting (115th). He did not play at RBC Heritage in 2025 but did end up T-33 in 2024. It will be intriguing to see how Kitayama fares on a Hilton Head course that has not been immensely kind to him. He is another golfer that may be avoided from a DFS and betting perspective again.
