The beauty of golf is having a short memory. It doesn’t matter if you shoot 100 or are on TOUR, forgetting the bad ones and building off the good ones remains pivotal. The Masters provided little drama as another boring win from Scottie Scheffler saw little challenge from the field. Tiger Woods wasted everyone’s time; taking advantage of a ridiculous cut line only to flame out worse than anyone. Once again we find some value in the DraftKings Pick6 world in the finishing position market, targeting some finishes beyond simply winning the RBC Heritage.
Let’s look at the top three DraftKings Pick6 predictions for this week’s RBC Heritage!

DraftKings Pick6 Predictions and RBC Heritage Picks
Colin Morikawa M/L 17.5 Finishing Position
There are few human beings on the planet who can strike the ball better with an iron than Colin Morikawa. Don’t let last week’s Masters collapse impact your vision this week, as Morikawa fits perfectly at Harbour Town. The course is as straightforward as it gets, demanding precision with iron play, scrambling, and a few make able putts. Distance is a secondary attribute at best, as this Peter Dye course demands shotmaking over anything else.
Morikawa – when on his game – is a deadly tactician with his irons. While Augusta is its own beast, it was good to see Morikawa gain strokes on the green. Putting isn’t the top focus here at Hilton Head but it certainly can be a helpful catalyst to success. We know SG: APP is a key metric, so expecting another T15 finish from the world’s best iron player shouldn’t be a major ask.
We’ve seen a mixed bag of success in four tries at the RBC, the main difference coming with gaining strokes around the green. In the one year he finished better than T10, Morikawa gain strokes ARG, where he lost strokes in the same category over the other three years. He’s gained strokes around the green in three straight events. Now just make some putts, Colin!
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Colin Morikawa LESS than 17.5 Finishing Position
Russell Henley M/L Than 23.5 Finishing Position
One of the best things about handicapping the RBC Heritage is that nothing truly changes. We know bombers have little to no advantage, shotmakers dominate, and mid-irons fuel victory. We find Russell Henley sitting at a 23.5 finishing position, basically needing a T20 finish to hit.
Course history is a solid indicator in general at Harbour Town, and Henley comes in with some healthy splits. He’s MC in five of ten attempts to win the RBC, while finishing T20 (Twice T10) three times. The other two were T23 and T26. If Henley’s making the cut, he’s in strong contention to finish among the top 20 golfers.
In 2021 Henley grabbed a T9 finish by gaining over two strokes on the approach. He was plus in SG ARG while losing nearly .6 strokes putting. This means he was able to put together a run to the finish by striking the ball and saving pars, rather than dominating on the greens.
The good news for anyone backing Henley this week is he’s gained strokes putting in six straight events, including last week at Augusta National.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Russell Henley LESS Than 23.5 Finishing Position
Tom Kim M/L Than 28.5 Finishing Position
The enigma that is Tom Kim continues this week at the RBC Heritage. It seems like eons ago when Kim won last October at the Shriners, with a wide range of variance since. He’s only missed two cuts over the last ten events – since winning at the Shriners – but only three finishes better than T30. That changes this week with a course that fits Kim’s strengths. Nothing changes with the approach here versus the other two golfers, we need someone dialed in with iron play and dealing with damage around the green.
Kim was brutal last year at the RBC but it was an introduction to this course more than anything else. Kim gained strokes everywhere except on the green, something that should improve based on recent improvements on the green. Kim’s putting hasn’t killed him as of late, he’s either marginally gaining or losing but nothing nuclear since the AMEX – he lost over 2.5 strokes putting.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Nicolai Hojgaard MORE Than 36.5 Holes Completed
