The world’s best golfers are ready to tee off from Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, South Carolina on June 18th. Jordan Spieth, Jon Rahm, Webb Simpson, Daniel Berger, and Justin Thomas are scheduled to be among the 140 participants. Last week in Sports Illustrated’s Charles Schwab Challenge betting analysis we highlighted Daniel Berger who had odds of 80-to-1, took home first place, and gave gamblers that bet on him to win a nice payday. Who should gamblers bet on for the RBC Heritage? Check out the full analysis in this article.

In the attached video, SI’s gambling analysts Ben Heisler and Frank Taddeo identify their best bets and long shots.

Bil Enright: SI gambling picks have been red hot. One of our analysts nailed Daniel Berger, 80 to one odds to win the Charles Schwab open, and he took it home. That was a big payday. We're looking for another payday for the RBC Heritage by talking with Ben Heisler and Frank Taddeo. Frank, I'm going to go to you for your best bets in the sharp action. Who are the golfers you're eyeing up?

Frank Taddeo: Yeah, right now, Bill, last week, the information across the pond over from Metric Gaming. It was absolutely on fire as they had two players, one that lost in a playoff and then another one to finish in the top 10. This week, though, Bill, they're back with more fire yet again. And the top guy that they're looking at this week is Kevin Kisner, coming in right now at odds of 50 to one over at the West Gate. But if they shop around, you'll see that here in Vegas, he's actually even being offered at Circa Sports at odds of seventy-two to one. Metric gaming's two value sharp plays this week are Tyrrell Hatton at odds of fifty-six to one. Also over at Circa Sports and Brandon Grace at odds of seventy-two to one. Here in Vegas though Bill locally right now I got information over from John Murray at the Westgate and right now the sharps here in Vegas. They're looking at matchups and what are they looking to target right now? And that would be Daniel Berger, the winner of last week's Charles Schwab at plus a dollar o five over Matt Kuchar, as well as Brooks Koepka at odds of minus a dollar fifteen to finish as a seventy-two hold better finisher over Dustin Johnson. Bill, so those are two names that definitely jump out here in Vegas right now. So Kisner as well as Tyrrell Hatton, those are two players that the metric gaming over across the pond in London are very high on over that trading desk and for here in Vegas, it's those matchups right now. And it looks like the sharps here in Vegas, they're once again backing Daniel Berger to have another successful week this week at the RBC Heritage Bill.

Bil Enright: Ben, we'll be going over to you for some long shots, everyone likes to take a risk, take a chance. Kind of like a lot to get in a chair when you're talking about poker. Let's talk about for RBC Heritage.

Ben Heisler: Yeah, I'm glad the Frankie brought up Tyrrell Hatton, he's written up in my Longshots article at 50 to one. He didn't play actually last week, so it'll be good to see Tyrrell Hatton coming back he's made every cut so far this year. A couple of other guys that I'm really intrigued by, Joel Damon. He's an 80 to one, but he has four consecutive top 20 finishes. He has a top 10 ranking in strokes gained tee to green, as well as a top 15 strokes gained in approach to green. He avoided key mistakes at Colonial. And then also Jim Furyk, the old man, Jim Furyk, he just turned 50. He loves Harbour Town says it's his all-time favorite course. And I think for Furyk coming in, he's one of the best in on the PGA Tour. As far as driving accuracy goes, this isn't a bombers type of course. So I think Jim Furyk at one hundred and fifty to one, a guy who knows this course about as well as anybody, certainly has the chance to make the cut and hang around, especially on a Sunday.
