Following a historic weekend at Augusta National, the PGA Tour heads to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, this week for the 2026 RBC Heritage.
Though back-to-back Masters champion Rory McIlroy won’t be in attendance at Harbour Town Golf Links, 82 golfers will, including 2025 RBC Heritage winner Justin Thomas. The 32-year-old two-time major champion defeated Andrew Novak last year in a playoff, snapping a near three-year winless drought.
Thomas will look to defend his crown against a field that will be competing for a share of $20 million, including $3.6 million for the winner.
