2023 RBC Heritage Weather Forecast and Projections
We’re teeing off for the RBC Heritage this week, where the weather will mostly cooperate, but we’ll still be watching for some breezy winds and a few spotty showers.

As usual in my Golf weather forecasts, we’re focusing more on wind than rain. While rain can halt play if it’s heavy enough, it also helps to soften and slow the course, meaning it helps as much as it hurts. With wind there’s no helpful side, it’s all negative impact, and the impact can lead to dramatic differences in scoring. My goal is always to try and highlight the timeframe with the lightest winds, the time with the strongest winds, and to see if there’s a cumulative advantage for one wave over another. You can use then use this to your advantage making your picks on DFS sites and sportsbooks.

Overall RBC Heritage Weather Forecast
As I mentioned in the intro, when it comes to finding a usable and predictable edge for PGA, wind matters a lot more than rain. For this tournament, I think you get a slight advantage both days if you go with a Thursday AM / Friday PM build. You won’t see a huge edge either day, but being able to get a slight advantage on both days seems noteworthy for DFS and sports-betting purposes. Stay tuned to @KevinRothWx for the latest.
