Following the Masters, the PGA Tour will head to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, for the RBC Heritage 2025. The next Signature event of the season will be played from Thursday, April 17, to Sunday, April 20, at Harbor Town Golf Links.

The RBC Heritage 2025 will feature the top players in the FedEx Cup competing for a purse of $20 million. While most high-ranked players will be in the field this week, Rory McIlroy will again skip the event after competing last year. For the uninitiated, next week's event isn't part of his regular schedule.

The RBC Heritage 2025 field will have 43 of the top 50 ranked players in the OWGR. Reigning champion Scottie Scheffler will be back in action to defend his title. Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele, and Sahith Theegala are other popular names competing at Harbor Town Golf Links.

Last year, the World No. 1 golfer posted a 3-stroke win over Theegala to claim his fourth victory of the 2024 season. However, he has yet to win a title this season and hopes to earn his first win of the year next week.
