RBC Heritage

The RBC Heritage is the PGA Tour’s only regular stop in South Carolina — a Signature Event played every April at Harbour Town Golf Links inside Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island. It’s been a fixture the week after the Masters since 1969, known as much for its winner’s tartan plaid jacket as for Pete Dye’s tight, tree-lined design and its lighthouse-backed 18th hole.

What is the RBC Heritage?

RBC — Royal Bank of Canada — has title-sponsored the tournament since 2012, the latest name in a lineage stretching back to the event’s 1969 founding. Of all the golf tournaments in Hilton Head, SC, it’s by far the biggest — the only regular PGA Tour stop the state gets. It’s one of the PGA Tour’s Signature Events: a limited, star-heavy field, no 36-hole cut, and one of the Tour’s largest purses ($20 million in 2026). The Heritage Classic Foundation, the tournament’s charitable arm, has raised more than $50 million for Lowcountry causes over the event’s history.

When is the RBC Heritage played?

The RBC Heritage is played every April, the week after the Masters — the same slot it’s held since 1969. The 2027 tournament runs April 12–18, 2027, with the four competition rounds Thursday, April 15 through Sunday, April 18. Hotels, villas, and tee times across the island book up well ahead of tournament week each spring — worth planning around if you’re visiting for golf rather than the event itself.

How to watch the RBC Heritage

Coverage splits between Golf Channel and CBS across the four rounds, with PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ streaming extended coverage — including featured-group and featured-hole feeds — all four days. CBS’s broadcast rounds also stream on Paramount+. Exact windows shift slightly year to year, so confirm the current schedule close to tournament week.

Who won the RBC Heritage 2026?

Matt Fitzpatrick won the 2026 RBC Heritage, beating World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler in a sudden-death playoff with a birdie on Harbour Town’s par-4 18th — the same hole that plays straight at the Harbour Town Lighthouse.

RBC Heritage tickets

Grounds tickets, hospitality venues, and multi-day passes for the following spring’s tournament typically go on sale each fall. The tournament’s own site, rbcheritage.com, is the source for current pricing and on-sale dates — third-party resale marketplaces list tickets too, usually at a markup over face value.

Where is the RBC Heritage played?

Every round is played at Harbour Town Golf Links, inside Sea Pines Resort at the south end of Hilton Head Island — the same Pete Dye and Jack Nicklaus design that’s open for public tee times the rest of the year. See that page for the course’s own history, scorecard, and tee times, or the full Hilton Head golf courses directory for everywhere else to play on the island.
