This has been the spring of Scottie Scheffler, and bettors at the BetMGM online sportsbook don’t expect it to stop at this week’s RBC Heritage, which is a PGA Tour signature event.
As of Wednesday morning, Scheffler is drawing the most handle (21.2%) on the most tickets (18.3%). He is the only golfer in the field to have double-digit percentages for tickets or handle.
Like he was ahead of the Masters, Scheffler is a massive favorite, as he’s +400 to win.
Scheffler has won three events (Arnold Palmer Invitational, The PLAYERS and the Masters) in his last four starts, and the one event he didn’t win, he finished T-2 at the Texas Children’s Houston Open.
Specific to the RBC Heritage, played at Harbour Town Golf Links, he finished T-11 last year in his lone appearance.
Ludvig Aberg, who finished runner-up to Scheffler at the Masters, is the next most popular player this week. At +1400, he’s pulling in 9.4% of the handle on 8.8% of the tickets. He’ll be making his tournament debut.
Xander Schauffele (+1200) rounds out the top three, as he’s taking in 8.2% of the handle on 8.5% of the tickets. He’s on a great run of late, with three straight top 10 finishes, including T-2 at The PLAYERS.
Schauffele finished fourth at this event in 2023.
Scheffler, Aberg and Schauffele are BetMGM’s biggest liabilities.
