The PGA Tour heads to Harbour Town to play the RBC Heritage. Here are the staff picks from Pro Golf Now for who we each think will win.

It was a little rough last week for everyone. From short putts being missed (Morikawa), players falling apart in the final round (Rory), do our picks not doing that great. We will do better at the RBC Heritage though.

We had gone four weeks picking top-five finishes, sometimes with multiple picks finishing in the top five. A couple of winners along the way as well.

With play in Harbour Town set to start tomorrow, here are the staff picks for the RBC Heritage.

More from Pro Golf Now

Jim Furyk

Kasey Kuhrts – I know, sounds crazy right? But Furyk has won twice at this event, in 2010 and 2015. But a big reason I like Furyk this weekend is he currently sits first in driving accuracy and greens hit in regulation on the tour in 2020. I believe that will be big this week in South Carolina, where we know being in the fairway is crucial.

Rory McIlroy

Tim Letcher – Last week at Colonial was just not his week. Specifically, Sunday was not his day. Look for the world’s best player to rebound this week and win at Harbour Town.

Webb Simpson

Richie Randolph – He is ranked #9 in the Power Rankings by our Mike Randleman and I have to agree; his all-around steady game plays well at the tight and demanding Harbour Town, and he is motivated coming off a rare missed cut at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Sungjae-Im

Hans Geevers – Yes, I know Im missed the cut at this event last year. In my opinion, he is a much better player now than he was a year ago and is primed for a second PGA Tour tournament victory.

Daniel Berger

Bill Felber – As for this week’s pick, don’t you have to take Daniel Berger? Granted, he’s probably not going to win back-to-back, and how many plaid jackets does one guy need, anyway? Having acknowledged that, he’s virtually guaranteed to be in the hunt. That’s more than I can say for my pick last week (Webb Simpson)

Abraham Ancer

West Valentine – Why? In the immortal words of Sen Blutarski, “WHY NOT!” Harbour Town requires accuracy and patience. Length doesn’t help there, and being off-target is a lost ball, not a bad lie. Ancer has a steady game in all facets and should show well on a course like this.

Bryson DeChambeau

Kathy Bissell

Chris O’Day

Mike Randleman – Number one in this week’s power rankings, here is an excerpt from the top spot in the article.

“In four starts at the RBC Heritage, Bryson DeChambeau has left Hilton Head Island either penniless or with a six-figure check.

He nearly won his first PGA Tour event here as a rookie in 2016. DeChambeau fired 70-69-72-68 to finish four off the pace.”

If you think there are any picks that seem ridiculous, ones that we nailed, or players that you think we missed picking let us know. Here is to another great week of golf on the PGA tour.
