The PGA TOUR is hosting the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links (par 71, 7,243 yards, POA Trivialis greens) in Hilton Head, South Carolina. This is one of the season’s eight Signature Events. There will be 82 players competing for a $20 million purse and no cut.
Since this tournament’s inception in 1969, Harbour Town has been the home of the RBC Heritage. Justin Thomas (-17) is the defending champion after beating Andrew Novak in a playoff a year ago.
Below, I dive into three of my favorite DFS options on DraftKings for the RBC Heritage.

Patrick Cantlay ($9,200)
This is the first time since 2019 that Cantlay is priced under $10,000 on DraftKings for an RBC Heritage and he is no-brainer at only $9,200. Cantlay has finished T7th and T12th in his last two starts while gaining strokes on approach at both tournaments. Plus, his resume at Harbour Town Golf Links is incredible.
While Cantlay has yet to win at the par 71, he has come extremely close. Cantlay lost in a playoff to Jordan Spieth in 2022 and finished third in 2017, 2019, 2023, and 2024. Cantlay has finished T13th or better in seven of his eight starts at Harbour Town and he has shot under par in 25 of his 30 rounds at the track, including a 6-under 65 in 2023. Cantlay ranks third among this field in strokes gained per round at Harbour Town and he should provide one of his best finishes of the season this week.
Ryo Hisatsune ($7,700)
Hisatsune finished T18th in his RBC Heritage debut last year and since then, he has moved himself up 34 spots in the world golf rankings. Hisatsune is in the midst of his best season on the PGA TOUR, making 9-of-10 cuts with five top-20 finishes. Hisatsune finished runner-up at the Farmers Insurance Open in January and he is coming off a T8 at the Valero Texas Open. At TPC San Antonio, Hisatsune led the field in SG APP.
Hisatsune ranks 18th in the metric this season, setting him up very well for his return to Harbour Town. At this Pete Dye design, the name of the game is approach play, as four of the last five winners have finished the event top-seven in SG APP. Hisatsune could contend at this second-shot course and he is an awesome value at only $7,700.
Tony Finau ($6,600)
After a rough start to the season, Finau has been much better recently. The veteran has only missed one cut in his last seven starts and he has recorded four top-30 finishes during this timeframe. Finau has gained strokes on approach at three straight events and he ranks 10th in proximity to the hole on 175-200-yard approach shots this season, which is great news for Harbour Town.
25.3% of approach shots at this venue over the last five years have come from 175-200 yards, which is a huge difference from the PGA TOUR average of 15.4%. Finau finished T12th at Harbour Town two years ago and is a sneaky, cheap play that has solid upside with his ball striking trending up.
