2026 RBC Heritage: Top DraftKings Showdown Plays & Live Bets Ahead of Round 4

By John Haslbauer | Apr 18, 2026, 7:02pm

The 2026 RBC Heritage continues on to the weekend, with past champion Matt Fitzpatrick holding a 3-stroke lead over Scottie Scheffler, and large pack of chasers just behind as we head into the final round. With three rounds in the books, we have new data at our disposal to adjust our approach in DFS formats before Round 4 gets underway on Sunday. Conditions have been calm thus far, but we should expect the course to get firmer and more difficult as the week continues.

With a similar forecast in store for Sunday, we’ll look to identify the players who have shown they are most due for a Round 4 breakout.

Take a look at some of the best pillar players for RBC Heritage DFS contests and live betting opportunities.

DraftKings Showdown Golf Strategy

DraftKings Golf Showdown Golf is a one-round Daily Fantasy format in which players aim to construct the best-scoring one-round lineup while staying within the allotted salary cap. To identify value in Golf Showdown, it’s typically best to focus on buy-low opportunities on players who’ve shown uncharacteristically poor putting in the prior round. There is also an opportunity to find leverage by identifying favorable weather splits and players who are more likely to card birdies-or-better.

Round 4 RBC Heritage Showdown Pillar Plays

At the 2026 RBC Heritage, there is a particular focus on players who are accurate shot-shapers, particularly since the tournament gained Signature Event status in 2023. From a statistical standpoint, Driving Accuracy, SG: Approach, Scrambling, and performance on positional comp courses continue to be of premium importance. Identifying value players who check each of these boxes can provide valuable bonus points in the DraftKings Showdown format. The three players below will be foundational plays in my Round 4 Showdown lineups for these reasons.

Xander Schauffele ($10,300)

The backdoor king ranks 4th in this field in Round 4 Scoring, so we should not be surprised if Xander launches himself up the leaderboard on Sunday. He currently sits T25 through the first three rounds, ranking 7th in SG: OTT for the tournament. It was a disappointing approach showing from Xander on Saturday, but almost the entirety of the strokes he lost for the round came on the par-3 4th hole, where he found the water on his tee shot.

Xander came into this week ranking top-3 in SG: Approach with three top 10 finishes over his last four starts. If he can turn things around with his irons on Sunday, we know the rest of his game is up to the task of going low at Harbour Town.

Jordan Spieth ($8,300)

It has been a vintage roller coaster experience for the 2022 RBC Heritage champion, who has made 15 birdies and four double-bogeys. He’s fallen back considerably on the leaderboard despite the high ceiling upside he’s shown, currently sitting T41. His Saturday performance was encouraging, however, firing a -4 round and ranking 5th in SG: Approach and 20th in SG: Putting for the day. He is one of just five players in the field to rank top-20 in both categories on Saturday.

Spieth loves Harbour Town, finishing in the top 20 in six of his nine career visits. He’ll have an opportunity to lean on that course experience and add to his total of top-20s here if he can maintain those levels with his irons and putting.

JT Poston ($7,100)

Poston was a popular sleeper consideration leading into this week, and he’s started to prove why with a round of 3-under-par on Saturday. It’s unlikely he’ll be able to charge up for a top-20 finish at this point, but he’s shown signs that better results are to come on Sunday. Poston ranked 11th in SG: Approach on Saturday and is 11th in SG: ARG for the week.

One of the best putters and most accurate drivers on the PGA Tour, it’s no surprise Poston’s resume includes five top-11 finishes at the RBC Heritage over his career. A T11 may be out of sight at this point, but he’s still positioned well to finish on a high note Sunday.

Live Bets To Consider After Round 4

Sepp Straka Top 10 Finish

Best Available odds:

Straka has been a model of consistency thus far at Harbour Town, and consistency has been the name of his game overall in 2026. With rounds of 66, 66, and 67 to start this tournament, Straka currently sits T3, just four strokes off of Fitzpatrick’s lead. He’s scored in a sustainable way round-over-round as well, as he ranks top-25 in SG: OTT, SG: APP, SG: ARG, and SG: P for the week.

Straka is a ball striking marksman who loves Bermuda greens. If he can continue to play out of the fairway, I don’t see this momentum he’s built stopping in the final round.

Lucas Glover Top 20 Finish

Best Available odds:

If you’re looking for a little more juice on your Round 4 props, I like Lucas Glover as a “longshot” top-20 finisher as well. Glover currently sits T19, despite an ugly double bogey on the final hole Saturday. The putter is very hit or miss when it comes to Lucas Glover, so the fact he is currently 22nd in SG: Putting is an encouraging sign that he is feeling good on the greens.

From a tee-to-green standpoint, Glover has looked solid as well, so if he continues to hole putts, I like his chances to uphold his place inside the top-20 after the final round.

Best of luck with your RBC Heritage DFS lineups and bets!
