Following a highly celebrated Masters tournament, the PGA Tour advances to the 2025 RBC Heritage this week at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. This event is known for attracting the top talents in golf and promises an exciting contest.

The RBC Heritage stands out as the fifth signature tournament of the PGA Tour season, hosting a no-cut format that allows only the most elite players to compete for a share of the substantial prize money. The total purse for this year’s event is set at $20 million, nearly matching the $21 million awarded at the Masters. Winners will also receive a distinctive plaid jacket, a nod to the tournament’s unique charm.

Defending champion Scottie Scheffler aims for back-to-back victories, but faces tough competition from many of the world’s best players. Notably, Justin Thomas has gained momentum, entering the weekend with a strong lead after impressive performances through the first two rounds.

In a significant absence, Rory McIlroy, the previous week’s Masters champion, will not participate. Instead, he has opted to return to Northern Ireland for personal celebrations.
