Justin Thomas is favoured on the golf odds.

This event has had numerous sponsors over the years, but the Royal Bank of Canada has been the title sponsor since 2012. Many players opt to decompress after the Masters, but RBC Heritage organizers try to make this as fun and family-friendly as possible to lure players the approximate 140 miles southeast from Augusta National. This is technically an invitational so the field is a bit smaller.

Harbour Town Golf Links is the host course, a par 71 at around 7,121 yards. All four par 3s on the course have water in play, with the 192-yard 14^th playing as the toughest hole in the course in 2021 with 34 double-bogeys or worse shot there.

Whether it’s windy will determine how tough the course plays. The tournament record is 22-under 262 set by Webb Simpson in 2020 but as recently as 2016, the winning score was 9 under. Last year, it was 19 under by Stewart Cink as he won by four shots for his third victory in the tournament, tied for the second-most behind Davis Love III (five). Cink shot 63s in each of his first two rounds and pretty much coasted from there. He was tied for first in greens in regulation over the four days by hitting 56 of 72. Then 47, Cink was the second-oldest player to win the event behind 48-year-old Hale Irwin in 1994. Cink is +10000 to win it a fourth time.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who won the Masters on Sunday and is off to one of the best starts to a PGA Tour season in recent history, is among those taking this week off.

The RBC Heritage Golf Odds

Justin Thomas is the +1100 favourite after finishing T8 on Sunday at the Masters despite struggling with a 76 in Round 1. He last played this event in 2019 and was T8 as well, his best result here.

Collin Morikawa is +1200, while Dustin Johnson and Cameron Smith are both +1400. Morikawa finished solo fifth on Sunday at Augusta after holing a bunker shot on the 18^th. He was T7 here last year. Dustin Johnson was T12 at the Masters. His best finish here is T13. Smith was pushing eventual winner Scottie Scheffler on Sunday at the Masters before triple bogeying No. 12. The Aussie was T9 at this tournament last year.

Off his first-ever missed cut at the Masters, Jordan Spieth is +2500 this week. He hasn’t contended in his past two visits here. Reigning US Amateur winner James Piot is in the field but +75000 to win.

No Canadian has won this tournament. Jim Nelford finished second by two shots to Fuzzy Zoeller in 1983. Corey Conners was the top finisher in 2021 at T4, six shots behind winner Stewart Cink. Mackenzie Hughes was T52, while Adam Hadwin, Nick Taylor and Michael Gligic missed the cut. Conners is +2200 this week off his T6 finish at the Masters. Hadwin is +6500 with Hughes +12500 (T50 at the Masters), Taylor +15000, Adam Svensson +15000, Roger Sloan +30000 and Gligic +50000.
