After the conclusion of the 2024 Masters, players are now set to compete at the upcoming Signature PGA Tour event, the RBC Heritage. The tournament is scheduled to take place from April 18 to 21 at Harbour Town Golf Links.

Matt Fitzpatrick has claimed the top spot in this week's power rankings, leaving behind Scottie Scheffler. Scheffler has been in incredible form this season, winning three events and also securing victory in last week's Masters.

However, his wife is in the final month of pregnancy, and the due date is anytime soon. Scheffler previously stated during the Masters that he would withdraw from the competition if his wife went into labor during the tournament. With the delivery expected soon, there is a possibility that Scheffler might withdraw from the RBC Heritage. Considering this, he has settled at number nine in the power rankings for the 2024 RBC Heritage.

Meanwhile, Fitzpatrick has been in good form and is also the tournament's defending champion, giving him a strong chance for a notable finish. Additionally, he has recorded two top-10 finishes in his last five outings on the PGA Tour, making him one of the best bets for the week.

Cameron Young, who finished T9 at the Masters, holds the second spot in the power rankings, followed by Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa.

Here are the power rankings for the 2024 RBC Heritage:

  • 1 Matt Fitzpatrick
  • 2 Cameron Smith
  • 3 Xander Schauffele
  • 4 Collin Morikawa
  • 5 Patrick Cantlay
  • 6 Shane Lowry
  • 7 Cam Davis
