The Masters is behind us, but the PGA TOUR is back in action this week with a signature event. The RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links will host an 82-man field with no cut for the season's fourth such event.
Rory McIlroy is taking the week off after winning the green jacket Sunday. That puts Scottie Scheffler alone atop the oddsboard as the +375 favorite on theScore Bet.
Let's take a look at the oddsboard and get to our three picks to win the tartan jacket.

Bet: Xander Schauffele (+1400)
I'm a tad nervous to go to the top of the board with Scheffler or Cameron Young, who had stressful weekends at Augusta National. It would be completely understandable if both of them experienced a bit of a letdown here.
Xander Schauffele, meanwhile, was never really in contention at the Masters despite finishing in a tie for ninth. He ranked second in strokes gained: approach and fifth off the tee. Plus, his ball-striking is on point, which should help him navigate the Pete Dye layout on Hilton Head Island.
Schauffele has competed at the RBC Heritage six times, and he hasn't finished outside the top 20 since it became a signature event, with his best result (fourth place) coming in 2023. It feels like the 32-year-old is on the cusp of winning the tournament, and he's in a strong position to do so this week.
Bet: Brian Harman to win (+6000)
Brian Harman had an interesting Masters. He was 10-over through 13 holes before rattling off seven birdies to get inside the cut. After shooting 67 on Saturday, he's sure to be confident heading to a course that suits his game perfectly.
The 2023 Open champion has played the RBC Heritage 16 times dating back to 2004, when he took part as an amateur. The 39-year-old has recorded three straight top-12 finishes at the tournament, including a T3 last year, and possesses more course knowledge than nearly everyone else in the field.
Bet: Sungjae Im to win (+10000)
Sungjae Im hasn't performed at the high level we've seen from him in recent years due to a wrist injury that kept him out to start the season. However, he showed flashes of quality play at the Masters and popped at the Valspar Championship with a T4 finish. That gives me enough confidence to back him at very long odds.
Im has gained strokes tee to green in six of his last 12 rounds, including the third round at Augusta when he gained 4.7 strokes tee to green, thanks to impressive approach play. Next, he'll take on a course where he's placed inside the top 25 each of the last five years, a run that includes four top-13 finishes.
