In the wake of the Masters hangover, this week the PGA Tour “heads” to Hilton Head, South Carolina for the RBC Heritage. Read below for RBC Heritage fantasy golf rankings, along with my top three One and Done fantasy league options.
Masters finishes
After a storybook ending, Sergio Garcia finally won his first major, defeating Justin Rose in the first playoff hole of the 2017 Masters. Garcia (#25 in our Masters rankings) shot a final round 69 and was rewarded with the coveted green jacket on what would have been his golf icon’s, Seve Ballesteros, 74th birthday.
Dustin Johnson, who withdrew before teeing off round one, was #2 in our rankings last week. Aside from DJ, 21 out of the other top 24 overall ranked players made the cut at the Masters. Here are fifteen notable finishes from our top 25 rankings that placed 27th or better:

RBC Heritage | Breakdown
The RBC Heritage takes place at Harbour Town Golf Links in South Carolina. The course measures just under 7,100 yards and is known for its oak and pine tree-lined narrow fairways and has smallest greens on Tour. Driving accuracy is critical for players to position themselves for birdie opportunities. Also, golfers with above average approach and around the green percentages will be favored this week as well.
