What To Look For: 2019 RBC Heritage Championship

The PGA Tour comes back to Harbour Town Golf Links.


Harbour Town was built in 1967 and primarily designed by Pete Dye with the help of Jack Nicklaus. IMO, it's the best course that either Nicklaus or Dye designed.

Contrary to what the above video may tell you, Harbour Town does gneerally favor the short, but accurate golfers off the tee. But to Davis Love's credit..he was one of the longest players ever in his era and has won at Harbour Town 5 times in his career.

This is a tight course where mid-length approach shots are paramount to a Tour player's success here.  Also, as shown in the video, bunker play is at a premium as well.

PROJECTED WINNING SCORE: -11

What To Look For: 2019 Valero Texas Open

The Tour comes back to the Valero Texas Open.



The Tour plays the Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio, designed by Pete Dye and Bruce Lietzke.  It loves to get windy at San Antonio which will only make the course more difficult.  This is primarily a driving and long iron course.  Good putters also tend to do well here, too.

Don't expect a big turnout as the field is a bit week.  Many player do not particularly care for the design and with Augusta happening next week, now they have an excuse to avoid the tournament altogether.
