After a thrilling Masters that concluded with Rory McIlroy becoming just the sixth golfer to become a grand slam champion, the PGA Tour season continues this week with many of the biggest names in the sport looking to either continue momentum or rebound from the first major of the year. The 2025 RBC Heritage tees off on Thursday, April 17, from Harbour Town Golf Links in South Carolina. Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1-ranked player in the world and the defending champion, is the 18-5 favorite in the latest 2025 RBC Heritage odds. Although McIlroy had the second-shortest odds last week, the major was nearly won by a 110-1 longshot in Justin Rose.
Who are the longshots to consider for 2025 RBC Heritage bets? Rose has 70-1 odds to win the RBC Heritage 2025 after shooting 6-under par on the final day at the Masters to force a playoff with McIlroy. Rose is +400 to finish inside the top 10 and +900 to crack the top five. How should the Englishman factor into potential longshot picks for the 2025 RBC Heritage? Jordan Spieth, who won this event in 2022 and secured a runner-up finish in 2023, is going off at 40-1 this week. Thursday’s first round from Harbour Town Golf Links gets underway at 8 a.m. ET.
SportsLine’s proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up nearly $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament. This same model has also nailed a whopping 14 majors entering the weekend, including the 2025 Masters – its fourth Masters in a row – and last year’s PGA Championship and U.S. Open.
Now that the 2025 RBC Heritage field is locked in, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and revealed its longshot betting picks:
Corey Conners (22-1 at DraftKings)
The 33-year-old was in contention entering the final round of the Masters at 8-under par and in third place on the leaderboard. He was behind just McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau before a tough final round resulted in a T-8 finish. But his 72-hole performance was strong enough for his fourth top-eight result over his last five tournaments, as Conners is playing some of the best golf of his PGA Tour career. He finished T-6 at The Players Championship and is currently sixth in the FedEx Cup series standings.
Conners has made the cut in five straight RBC Heritage tournaments, highlighted by finishing T-4 in 2021. He’s become a more popular bet in recent weeks due to his run of success, but with the chance to still play him at odds longer than 20-1 in a field without McIlroy, McClure projects value in Conners. Some sportsbooks have dropped his odds to below 20-1, but you can still find him at 22-1 odds on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Russell Henley (28-1)
Henley missed the cut at the Masters, but majors have never been his strong suit. The 36-year-old has five career PGA Tour victories and finished on top of the leaderboard at the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational. This week’s field won’t be as elite as the ones Henley goes up against in major championships, and Henley has finished in the top 10 in four of eight PGA Tour events this season.
He is sixth on the PGA Tour in total strokes gained, ranking in the top 25 in four of the five specific strokes gained statistics. Henley is also third in putting average, seventh on Par 4s and seventh in scoring average this season. Henley is fifth in the FedEx Cup standings and has finished in the top 20 in three of his last four starts at the RBC Heritage. Henley is listed at 28-1 odds on DraftKings Sportsbook, as opposed to 25-1 odds or lower on other betting apps.
Daniel Berger (45-1)
The 32-year-old finished T-21 at the Masters and saved his best round for Sunday. Berger shot a 3-under par 69 on Sunday to finish at 2-under for the tournament, and he looks to carry that momentum onto Harbour Town Golf Links. He’s made the cut in seven straight tournaments, including finishing T-2 at the Phoenix Open with only two results worse than 21st over that span.
Berger, a four-time PGA Tour winner, has made the cut in all five career RBC Heritage tournaments. He finished T-3 in the 2020 RBC Heritage. Berger was once ranked as high as No. 12 in the world before back injuries and misdiagnoses derailed his career and cost him more than 18 months on the PGA Tour. He rejoined the PGA Tour last season for his first tournament since the 2022 U.S. Open and after an understandably rusty start, Berger has made the cut in 14 of 16 tournaments dating back to last season. At 45-1 odds on BetMGM, Berger could be ready to shock the world at an attractive price.

Ravens 2025 NFL Draft Takeaways: A huge class, and one controversial pick
Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta walked briskly into the auditorium at the Baltimore Ravens facility on Saturday night and acknowledged the obvious: “It was a long day.”The Ravens finished an 11-man draft class Saturday by making eight selections and two trades, including one with the New York Jets that improved their positioning on Day 3 of the 2026 Draft.AdvertisementAfter selecting Georgia safety Malaki Starks, Marshall edge rusher Mike Green and LSU offensive lineman Emery Jones Jr. over the first two days, the Ravens used Saturday to add two more offensive linemen, two cornerbacks, a defensive lineman, an inside linebacker, a wide receiver/return specialist and a kicker.When it was (mercifully) over, DeCosta had checked pretty much every box and added to every spot where the Ravens had an obvious need. It will take a few years before you can appropriately and […]

Fantasy football 2025 NFL Draft player grades: Every pick from Cam Ward to Brashard Smith and more
The 2025 NFL Draft might be done, but the excitement is still bubbling over. It’s time for NFL draft grades for fantasy football. If you haven’t seen this piece from past years, each player gets two grades. The first draft grade is redraft-only value (2025). The second is the player’s dynasty grade/potential.AdvertisementThe draft grades are weighted in tiers of sorts. A’s are your stars — players who can or will become a No. 1 at their position (RB1, TE1, etc.). For B’s, we’re talking about second and some third-tier starters in all leagues. When we get to C’s, those are fringe starters, maybe some boom/bust plays, etc. D’s are waiver wire players with maybe some Best Ball or the rare bye week/matchup play potential. Any player graded lower is a non-factor in fantasy.For those wanting to go deeper, you can […]
