In the old days, a week after a major championship was a time to relax. That’s not the case now, as the PGA Tour just simply moves onto another signature event, its fourth of the season. Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, S.C., again is host to the RBC Heritage where eight of the top 10 players in the world are competing. Only Masters champ Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose are not playing.
That means World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler leads the field of everyone playing for the $20 million purse, with the winner taking home $3.6 million. Scheffler went bogey-free over the weekend at Augusta National and bounced back from a 12-shot deficit after 36 holes to finish second place, only a shot behind McIlroy.

Joining him are Cameron Young, Tommy Fleetwood, Russell Henley, Matt Fitzpatrick, Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele and J.J. Spaun. Justin Thomas is the defending champion.
Last year Thomas defeated Andrew Novak on the first hole of a playoff, draining a 20-footer for his first win since the 2022 PGA Championship. Thomas tied for 41st place last week at the Masters. Tony Finau, Billy Horschel, Wyndham Clark and Marco Penge are sponsor exemptions.
There is no cut. Check back here Sunday after play is complete for updates.
