RBC Heritage Preview 2025

Following the Masters, the PGA Tour flies straight into another Signature Event – the RBC Heritage.

It has a tough act to follow after Rory McIlroy won the Masters and completed the career grand slam with a dramatic playoff win over Justin Rose at Augusta National.

McIlroy is not in the field at Hilton Head, but Rose is, and so is defending champion and 2024 Masters champion Scottie Scheffler.

The RBC Heritage is one of the more well-known events on the PGA Tour, and it has been played every year since 1969.

Ever since its inception, the tournament has only had one venue – Harbour Town Golf Links – which has been the host of the event now for 56 years.

Scheffler comes in as the defending champion. The World No.1 donned the tartan jacket at Hilton Head in South Carolina the week after winning his second Green Jacket at Augusta National.

Scheffler beat Sahith Theegala by three shots and it was his fourth win of seven on the PGA Tour in 2024.
