The PGA Tour’s fourth elite competition of the year is scheduled, as top golfers from the PGA Tour are traveling a short distance from Augusta, Georgia, to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, for the 2026 RBC Heritage tournament. Following the Masters, an event where Rory McIlroy secured the $4.5 million prize after clinching his second straight green jacket, substantial financial rewards are again available at Harbour Town Golf Links, featuring a total prize fund of $20 million.
Although McIlroy is absent from the lineup, most other leading global golf talents are expected to compete, such as Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young, Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele, Tommy Fleetwood, Ludvig Åberg, Russell Henley, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, and Viktor Hovland. Numerous prominent players among them are seeking their initial victory of the current season—along with the accompanying $3.6 million winner’s payout—while vying for the distinctive plaid jacket, setting the stage for an intense competition lasting until the weekend.
Although securing the championship is the primary goal, these designated tournaments offer participants not only substantial prize money but also vital points toward the year-long FedEx Cup challenge, especially for those who place within the top 10. Achieving a spot in the top 10 this week ensures a minimum earning of $500,000, and even a top 20 placement secures $250,000 for competitors. This, combined with the chance to accumulate points that improve their standing for qualification to the Tour Championship at East Lake, signifies that much is at stake during this week’s event in Hilton Head.
