Eric Polzin noted a few potential worthwhile bets on Underdog Fantasy for golfer finishing positions at RBC Heritage, identifying Ben Griffin to secure a top 20 finish as one of the viable plays. He observed that Underdog has placed nearly every golfer around a top-20 finish mark and highlighted Griffin as someone providing some genuine upside at favorable odds. Although acknowledging they may feel marginally forced, Polzin believed Griffin genuinely showed better value compared to other finishing position lines offered, resulting in a solid betting opportunity.

Eric Polzin identified Collin Morikawa's PrizePicks 'five birdies or better' line as overly ambitious for Round 1 RBC Heritage. Historical scoring averages at Harbour Town Golf Links consistently hover around 4.1 birdies per round, whereas PrizePicks lines currently predict higher totals. Polzin advised bettors to take the under specifically due to the combination of the historical birdie averages and less certain weather conditions, which PrizePicks seems to have overlooked when setting these higher lines.

Eric Polzin predicted Patrick Cantlay would have a strong opening round at the RBC Heritage, emphasizing Cantlay's excellent history at this venue and his ideal fit for the course. Previously, Cantlay has finished 3rd, 3rd, and 2nd here, proving he consistently thrives. Polzin calls Cantlay a 'boring golfer,' a complementary term referring to his methodical, precise play which suits Harbour Town perfectly. Polzin recommends betting Cantlay to shoot under 68 strokes and highlighted Cantlay's strong statistical profile, including a top-5 rank in the field according to his model.

Eric Polzin strongly recommended betting the under for Xander Schauffele's 'five birdies or better' line on PrizePicks for round one of the RBC Heritage. PrizePicks is currently setting a high line that appears overly optimistic when looking at Schauffele's recent performance and expected course conditions. Polzin noted RBC Heritage is typically a harder event, and considering the average birdies per round historically is only 4.127, hitting six birdies would be difficult even for the elite golfers like Xander. Polzin mentioned while the weather might currently appear optimal, it is not priced into the lines accurately, and any negative weather shift will further solidify the under bet.

Eric Polzin explicitly advised against using Ludvig Aberg in DFS lineups at RBC Heritage due to his unfavorable statistical data projections. He emphasized that the standard models did not project Aberg as a favorable play this week, noting that anyone intent on rostering him would have to significantly alter and customize their modeling data. Polzin stressed that custom model adjustments to justify a golfer indicates that naturally derived projections do not support the selection, making Aberg a risky, undesirable DFS option based purely on the data.

Eric Polzin advised against rostering Brian Harman in DFS lineups for the RBC Heritage, highlighting concerns around placement points and overall upside compared to top-tier golfers like Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele. His analysis specifically cautioned that betting on Harman to consistently surpass the performance of those higher-ranked options in DFS formats is unrealistic. Polzin suggested playing for guaranteed placement points from proven elite players to optimize DFS success this week.

Eric Polzin discouraged using Sungjae Im in DFS lineups at the RBC Heritage due to concerns about placement points. Polzin noted that building lineups relying on Im to outperform higher-ranked players such as Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa appears unlikely. Polzin emphasized that DFS success at RBC Heritage heavily relies on securing golfers capable of earning consistent, strong finishes rather than betting on lower-ranked players outperforming elite options. While Im is a notable player, Polzin's data and DFS strategy indicated that Im doesn't offer sufficient projected placement points to warrant selection over the top-end golfers this week.

Eric Polzin mentioned Harrison Endycott as an intriguing DFS option due to recent volatility resulting in upside potential at a low salary. Polzin noted Endycott recently had two top-five finishes across his last three starts and three consecutive made cuts, suggesting potentially improving form. Given this recent consistency and upside, Polzin indicated Endycott deserves consideration as a viable sleeper in DFS lineups despite little mention in mainstream projections and analysis.

Eric Polzin endorsed Denny McCarthy as a reliable mid-tier DFS option to round out balanced lineups at the RBC Heritage. Although Polzin prefers stars-and-scrubs builds this week, he identified McCarthy as someone he'd feel comfortable rostering in lineup approaches that emphasize a safer, higher floor. McCarthy's stable skillset and recent solid form provide confidence he can deliver dependable production without significant DFS risk in this type of lineup construction.

Eric Polzin highlighted Brian Campbell as a potential deep-value DFS target at the RBC Heritage after his impressive debut performance at the Masters (32nd-place finish). Polzin explained that Campbell's game aligns particularly well with strategic, thinking-heavy courses much like Augusta National and RBC Heritage, favoring placement and thoughtful shot-making over raw scoring power seen at tougher scoring events like Players Championship or API. Although Campbell doesn't statistically pop as a great fit in traditional data models, Polzin encouraged trusting intuition and course fit given Campbell's smart, steady golfing style. He expects Campbell to outperform his very low price tag in DFS formats this week.

Eric Polzin cautiously endorsed Lucas Glover as a potential DFS value at RBC Heritage, despite recent inconsistency. While frequently disappointed when heavily rostered, Polzin finds his pricing appealing due to historical performances at events requiring strategic, mistake-limiting golf. Despite missed cuts at Corales Puntacana and Genesis Invitational, Glover recently managed top-10 finishes including a 3rd and 8th place after periods of poor form. Polzin noted that statistically Glover projects well in safe, strategic golf settings, making him a value play worth considering, but warned of his habit of underperforming expectations when form seems ideal, advising caution.

Eric Polzin targeted Ryan Gerard as a core DFS value sleeper at the RBC Heritage, noting his standout recent form and favorable price tag (6.6K). Gerard recorded impressive finishes, including 2nd at Valero and 9th at Houston, showcasing his upside. Polzin highlighted Gerard's rank as the 14th-best statistical fit in the field, notably ranking top-20 in stroke-gained-approach, good drive percentage, par-five scoring, and 30th in birdie-to-bogey ratio, reflecting strong all-around game suited to RBC Heritage's strategic golf course. Polzin admitted to cherry-picking Gerard among similarly priced options but emphasized the appeal of his proven recent performance and statistical profile as strong indicators of DFS value.

Eric Polzin strongly recommended Collin Morikawa as a prime outright winner bet this week at the RBC Heritage. Morikawa has solid event history, finishing 10th in his best appearance at this tournament. Polzin notes Morikawa is the best stat fit in this week's field and ranks fourth overall as a specialist for the course, consistently checking important boxes in scoring metrics such as stroke-gained-approach and par-4 scoring. Drawing parallels to Rory McIlroy, Polzin emphasized Morikawa has consistently put himself into contention and is simply due to secure a win based on continued elite-level play. As a result, Morikawa also becomes a desirable core play in DFS lineups due to his high likelihood of delivering winning upside.

Eric Polzin tabbed Matt Kuchar as a compelling sleeper value pick for DFS lineups due to his low pricing below 7K and Polzin's belief Kuchar will easily outperform his cheap salary. He mentioned this week's special strategy focused on selecting low-priced golfers who still consistently exceed their expected finish, providing critical lineup flexibility enabling fantasy managers to roster top-tier players like Scottie Scheffler. Polzin specifically identified Kuchar as someone he liked this week with enough potential and reliability to significantly surpass his lower-tier pricing.

Eric Polzin identified Xander Schauffele as one of his favorite outright bets for RBC Heritage, referencing clear signs of recovery from earlier-season injuries that negatively affected recent performance metrics. Polzin highlighted recent positive form, including a quiet but impressive 10th-place Masters finish and a solid 12th-place result at Valspar as proof that Schauffele's injury woes are behind him. While early-season finishes at Zozo (40th), Tournament of Champions (30th), API (40th), and Players Championship (72nd) were weak, they can likely be disregarded due to injury-driven form issues. Polzin further referenced solid RBC Heritage course history, notably a third-place finish two years ago and 18th last year. With these combined factors and good specialization rank, Polzin strongly recommended Schauffele as an attractive betting target for outright victory.

Eric Polzin endorsed Collin Morikawa as one of his safest core picks for DFS lineups at the RBC Heritage owing to consistent, strong form. Morikawa showcased rock-solid performances this season, securing finishes of 14th at the Masters, 10th at the Players Championship, 2nd at API, 17th at Farmers, 17th at AT&T Pebble Beach, and 2nd at the Tournament of Champions, highlighting reliability and upside. Additionally, Morikawa boasts strong course history at RBC Heritage, finishing 10th last year, along with elite underlying stats as the top-rated stat fit in the field and fourth-best specialist ranking. Polzin labeled Morikawa as clearly due for a win, emphasizing that consistently high finishes will inevitably lead to victory and provide DFS value.

Eric Polzin strongly backed Scottie Scheffler as a core play due to his reliable floor and elite level of play at the RBC Heritage. He cited past success at the event, including a victory last year and a 10th place finish two years ago. Despite acknowledging that Scheffler's 2023 DFS performance has lacked consistency due to minor injuries earlier in the season, Polzin highlighted Scheffler's very high ranking in key stats, including being third-best overall in the field, strong birdie-to-bogey ratio, great approach stats, and good par-4 scoring—crucial elements on this particular course. Polzin underscored that Scheffler's careful, mistake-free style makes him a perfect fit for RBC Heritage, a famously strategic second-shot course where minimizing big scores is critical. Even with an elevated price tag of $13k, Polzin noted Scheffler offers reliable DFS value due to likely finishing in the top five or ten.

Eric Polzin views odds for Scottie Scheffler as justified at the RBC Heritage, highlighting his recent elite consistency. Scheffler consistently placed near the top of events without securing wins, narrowly missing repeat victories similar to his dominant performances last year. At The Masters, Scheffler finished top-five despite lacking his usual firepower. Polzin sees Scheffler’s skill set as well-suited to Harbour Town, praising his ability to play methodically clean and accurate golf—traits key to success here. Although Scheffler hasn't claimed titles recently, Polzin believes he remains close enough that betting markets rightly favor him as a strong outright contender this week.

Although deeply skeptical about an outright victory, Eric Polzin flagged Brian Campbell’s shocking 600-to-1 odds as noteworthy at the RBC Heritage. Polzin stresses Campbell is surprisingly priced given his style—steady, accurate 'boring golf' typically suited to Harbour Town. He references Campbell's mistake during a recent playoff (hitting a tree), indicating some volatility, but still views a potential pricing correction (bringing his odds closer to 200-to-1 or 250-to-1) as likely. Polzin implies he's an intriguing speculative placement market value—or a small outright flyer—at these drastically undervalued odds.

Eric Polzin discusses Patrick Cantlay as a strong consideration for bets at the RBC Heritage, driven by elite and consistent course history coupled with a perfect stylistic match for Harbour Town. Cantlay’s remarkable past performances—third, third, and second—reflect his ideal fit for this course. Polzin underscores that players who excel at 'boring golf', prioritizing accuracy, minimizing mistakes, and managing courses strategically, historically thrive at Harbour Town. With Cantlay described as the 'king of boring golf' and odds seen as attractive relative to the field, Polzin views him as an appealing outright betting option.

Eric Polzin sees Collin Morikawa as a golfer primed for victory at the RBC Heritage, citing consistently excellent play and favorable historical performance at Harbour Town. Polzin notes Morikawa's recent near-miss results as evidence he is overdue for a breakthrough; he finished second at both the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Sentry Tournament of Champions, along with a solid top-10 finish at THE PLAYERS. Despite a disappointing 14th-place finish at the Masters—where he struggled to close strongly—Morikawa remains statistically elite, rated second-best in the full tournament model for this week. Additionally, his solid past results on this course (two top-10 finishes, plus two other solid top-40 placements) provide further betting confidence. Despite relatively short odds around 11-to-1, Polzin recommends considering Morikawa if fitting him into your betting card.

Eric Polzin highlighted Bud Cauley as a viable player to bet on in the placement market (top 20 odds) at the RBC Heritage due to his impressive recent form. Cauley has delivered three consecutive finishes of sixth place or better, clearly demonstrating sustained, high-level golf. Though a missed appearance at the Puerto Rico Open represents a confounding missed opportunity, his continued consistent form since has bolstered his betting appeal. Polzin particularly emphasizes Cauley's appealing statistical profile, rating him among the top 12 best statistical fits for Harbour Town. Given current 80-to-1 outright odds on Cauley, Polzin sees strong potential value in the top-20 placement market for fantasy purposes and betting scenarios.

Eric Polzin expressed confidence backing Xander Schauffele despite his injury issues and recent slump. He noted Schauffele's surprisingly quiet top-10 finish at the Masters, a strong indication that he’s returned to form. Concerns about lingering effects from injury are lessened by two solid recent performances—a positive outing heading into Augusta, and then another strong showing there. Schauffele's course history at Harbour Town—a third and an 18th previously—combined with his return to consistency, justifies betting on him even at shorter odds around 10-to-1. Polzin sees Schauffele as trustworthy again, emphasizing his regained consistency and historic reliability (60 consecutive made cuts on tour).

Eric Polzin advises backing Daniel Berger at 65-to-1 odds for the RBC Heritage, feeling the market significantly undervalues his current form. Berger arrives from a strong showing at Augusta, building on consistent finishes including 12th, 15th, 20th, 21st, 25th, and 30th in recent starts. Polzin emphasized Berger ranks as a top-eight statistical fit, specifically seventh-best for Harbour Town's layout. Berger also has good history at this event, posting 13th and 21st-place finishes previously. Considering possible fatigue or hangovers for top players coming off the Masters, Berger represents a strong betting opportunity with substantial upside at these odds.

Eric Polzin is confident betting on Russell Henley at the RBC Heritage despite a disappointing missed cut at the Masters. Henley missed the cut on the number due to a frustrating final-hole bogey, compounded by a shocking and uncharacteristically poor opening round. Polzin believes round one was an anomaly, unlikely to repeat itself, and highlighted Henley's recent exceptional form prior to Augusta—four top-10 finishes in his last seven starts, including a victory. Statistically, Henley ranks as the second-best player fit for Harbour Town’s key metrics (birdie-to-bogey ratio, strokes gained approach, good drive percentage, and par-four scoring). Polzin views the betting market of 30-to-1 at DraftKings as particularly attractive value considering these factors.
