Webb Simpson RBC Heritage Prediction 2023

Simpson's showing at the Valspar Championship was undoubtedly great as he had a chance to finish atop the leaderboard before posting a score of +2 in Round 4. However, it was the first time during the 2022-23 PGA Tour that Simpson logged a top-20 finish at a tournament, let alone a top-10 finish.

More 2023 RBC Heritage betting content from The Duel:

While Simpson did win the RBC Heritage back in 2014, he has also tallied five finishes outside the top 50 golfers (including 2022) in 13 appearances. It's clear he is a hit-or-miss kind of player that tends to either compete for the top spot or fall far down on the leaderboard. That makes him hard to trust now.

And if you're looking for an even stronger reason to be worried about him this week? Simpson ranks an abysmal 193rd on Tour in GIR percentage and 142nd in par 3 scoring average, with are both key stats to consider at Harbour Town.

I am avoiding betting on Simpson in any and every way. The 37-year-old ranks outside the top 120 golfers in Strokes Gained (SG): Total, SG: Off the Tee and SG: Putting. Without an edge in any facet of the game, Simpson is going to have a hard time keeping up in a field stacked with talented pros. If a "miss the cut" prop gets listed on FanDuel, that's the way you'll want to bet.
