The 2019-20 PGA TOUR season picks up back on Thursday with the 2020 RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links.
Just like last week, this field is loaded with starpower and while casual fans and other media outlets spend most of their time talking about the big names, we here at GolfBet know that the beauty of betting on golf is that every player is important to someone, whether he's at the top of the odds or at the bottom.
Some of the players that caught our eye this week include Jim Furyk, Bud Cauley and Ian Poulter. Read why in our favorite prop bets for the 2020 RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links:
RBC HERITAGE PROMO! Win $100 if Rory McIlroy makes just ONE birdie all week
Jason Sobel
Jim Furyk Top-10 (+1200)
Time is a flat circle. Furyk keeps on keeping on. Most players turn 50 – as Furyk did last month – and find it tough to keep up with the flatbellies on the big circuit. Same goes for most Ryder Cup captains, many of whom were never the same players after the rigors of leading a team.
And the truth is, all of this might ultimately lead to Furyk’s demise as a guy who can contend on this level, but he’s certainly got the right tournaments to play after this restart. A final-round 74 kept him from a solid final result last week, and this one should be a perfect fit for the two-time champion and all-time leading money-winner of this event.
Josh Perry
Webb Simpson Top-20 (+150)
I’m not going to let one bad round after a three-month layoff sour me on Simpson, who has six top-20s in nine tries over the last decade here at Harbour Town.
He’s playing as well as he ever has in his career, so getting a plus-number in this spot is a pretty nice play.
Bryan Mears
Top-40: Bud Cauley (+138); Jason Day (+125); Ian Poulter (-125)
Some of my favorite odds in the market right now are at DraftKings, who is offering not just top-20 and below odds, but even top-40 markets. I think if you believe in a longshot or value golfers, rather than betting them outright you should try to lock in some golfers around even money (or plus money for a top 40).
Some that catch my eye this week are Bud Cauley (+138), Jason Day (+125) and Ian Poulter (-125). All have solid history at Harbour Town and are probably mispriced here a bit vs. their long-term talent.
Day is especially eye-popping at plus money, and while he’s been mediocre for a while now — after being the world No. 1 — he’s been inside the top-40 at this track in each of his last four visits.
