Tyrrell Hatton (+1800)
Hatton shares the second-best odds to win the RSM Classic. He’s the only one of the top-5 betting favorites this week to miss the cut at the Masters, with Webb Simpson (+1000) tying for 10th and Sungjae Im (+1800) finishing as the co-runner-up at Augusta National.
The weekend off should play to Hatton’s favor. Simpson, Im and others may have difficulty transitioning from the tough terrain of ANGC to the (generally) much easier Sea Island Resort. Hatton had a victory and three other top-10 finishes in his six international events preceding the Masters and should quickly get back on track.

2020 RSM Classic betting picks – Contender
MacKenzie Hughes (+5500)
Hughes wasn’t invited to the 2020 Masters but will look to secure an invitation to the 2021 edition when returning to the site of his lone PGA Tour victory to date.
The Canadian won here in 2016 and has been playing some of his best golf since then in 2020. He has seven top 10s in 21 events this year, including a T-7 at the Vivint Houston Open the week before the Masters. He has two missed cuts and a 65th-place finish here in the last three years but will look to combine his experience with his very strong recent form.
2020 RSM Classic betting picks – Long shot
Keegan Bradley (+15000)
Bradley, a four-time PGA Tour winner, makes his debut at the RSM Classic off of a missed cut at the Houston Open. He has missed the cut in five of his last eight events, but he’s averaging 0.87 Strokes Gained: Approach and 1.33 SG: Tee-to-Green per round over his last 16 measured rounds, according to Data Golf.
He needs just to be average with his putter to have success at Sea Island, after averaging 0.71 strokes lost putting per round on the 2020-21 season to date. He has had some moderate success on similar courses at the 3M Open (TPC Twin Cities) and Valspar Championship (Innisbrook).
*Brian Gay was previously mentioned as the long-shot bet for this week, but he withdrew Tuesday afternoon.
