RBC Heritage payout, prize money in PGA Tour’s fifth Signature event

The PGA Tour is playing its fifth signature event of the season, with a crowded leaderboard for the RBC Heritage entering the final round on April 20 at the Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island, S.C. 

It has an elevated purse with a short field of 72 players and no cut. Anyone completing 72 holes with a correct scorecard will walk away with some cash. 

Who is leading entering the final round?

Si Woo Kim posted a 65 on April 19 and took a one-shot lead over Justin Thomas (69) and Andrew Novak (66) at 15-under-par 198. Kim had a three-shot lead over Thomas until he bogeyed the last hole, while Thomas rolled in an 18-foot birdie putt.

Maverick McNealy (65) is fourth at 13-under. Brian Harman (66) and Tommy Fletwood (68) are tied for fifth at 12-under.

Who won RBC Heritage last year? 

Scottie Scheffler, who shot 68 in the third round and is 11-under, five off Kim’s lead, won the week after his Masters victory in 2024, beating Saith Theegala by three shots in a Monday finish. He became the first player since Berhnard Langer in 1985 to win the Masters, then the Heritage a week later. 

What’s the total RBC Heritage purse? 

As a PGA Tour Signature event, the purse is elevated beyond other tournaments. 

The total purse is $20 million. 

What’s the winner’s share at the RBC Heritage? 

The winner at Harbour Town will earn $3.6 million. In comparison, the total purse for the 2021 RBC Heritage, won by Jose Coceres, was $3 million and increased to $4 million in 2002 when Justin Leonard won.
