Collin Morikawa and 40 of the top 50 golfers in the world head to South Carolina this week for the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links.
Jon Rahm wonโt have time for a Masters hangover, as the No. 1 player in the world, who is fresh off his second major championship, will tee it up in a star-studded field this week at the RBC Heritage.
In one of the PGA Tourโs designated events, this post-Masters tournament at Harbour Town Golf Links, nestled in South Carolinaโs Lowcountry, boasts 41 of the top 50 players in the FedEx Cup standings, as well as nine out of the worldโs top 10.
Missing is Rory McIlroy, who withdrew earlier this week after missing the cut at Augusta National. Will Zalatoris is also absent, as he'll miss the remainder of the season after undergoing back surgery last week.
Jordan Spieth is back to defend his RBC Heritage title, as is Patrick Cantlay, who lost to Spieth in a playoff.

Pick to win: Collin Morikawa +1800
Harbour Town rewards great ball-striking and someone who can gain strokes tee-to-green. Collin Morikawa is second on Tour this season in strokes gained on approach to the green at 1.095 and fourth in strokes gained tee-to-green at 1.725.
Ranked 11th in the world and 14th in FedEx Cup points, Morikawa has four top-10s this season, including a runner-up finish at the Sentry Tournament of Champions in January. He also finished third at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines three weeks later.
In three RBC Heritage starts, Morikawa has one top-10 finish which came in 2021 with solo seventh. Heโs 3-for-3 in cuts made.
Top-5 pick: Jordan Spieth (+450)
As the defending champion, Spieth knows what it takes to win here, and his game is up to the challenge.
The 29-year-old is coming off of a T4 finish at the Masters, where he shot a final-round 66 and made 21 birdies over four rounds at Augusta National.
In seven starts this year, Spieth has carded four top-10 finishes.
Along with his win last year, Spieth has made all six cuts at Harbour Town, including two top-10s and four top-25s.
Top-10 pick: Patrick Cantlay (+150)
Pace of play notwithstanding, Cantlay is one of the most consistent golfers in the world.
Ranked No. 4 in the Official World Golf Rankings, Cantlay has seven top-25s in nine starts this season, including four top-10s. His best finish this year was third at The Genesis Invitational in February.
The 31-year-old has thrived in the Lowcountry of South Carolina; Cantlay has four top-10 finishes at Harbour Town, including three top-3s in his last five appearances.
