As one of eight limited-field events on this year’s PGA Tour schedule, the RBC Heritage presented by Boeing will once again feature the world’s top golfers, including world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and defending champion Justin Thomas.
South Carolina’s signature event returns to Harbour Town Golf Links for the 58th annual RBC Heritage next week, and most of the tour’s top stars are expected to make the short trek from Augusta, Georgia, after this week’s Masters.
Players have until Monday to commit, but a handful of stars have already made their plans official, including Scheffler, Thomas, and past champions Matt Fitzpatrick and Jordan Spieth.
Thomas has amassed 16 career PGA Tour wins and two major championships since turning pro in 2013. After a challenging stretch in 2023–24, he regained top form in 2025, returning to the winner’s circle with an emotional playoff victory at the RBC Heritage, his first win in nearly three years. Thomas underwent surgery late in 2025 and was sidelined him for several months, but he recently returned to competition and is ranked 14th on the OWGR.
Scheffler, the 2024 Heritage champ, has been on a tear. Since the beginning of the 2021 season, Scheffler has accumulated 20 PGA Tour victories, including a major win at the 2024 Masters, and captured four straight PGA Tour Player of the Year awards. His 2024 RBC Heritage win marked one of multiple victories during a historic stretch in which he won seven of 13 starts. In addition to his PGA Tour success, Scheffler captured the 2024 Olympic gold medal and has now surpassed 20 career PGA Tour wins before turning 30, joining Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus in this rare achievement.
Fitzpatrick just earned his third win on the PGA Tour at the Valspar Championship, his first victory since the 2023 RBC Heritage. Internationally, he added a 10th title at the 2025 DP World Tour Championship, and he earned a solo second-place finish at the 2026 Players Championship, narrowly missing a playoff after a strong final-round push. Now 31, Fitzpatrick has longstanding ties to Harbour Town, having first earned a spot in the 2014 RBC Heritage as the 2013 U.S. Amateur champion, and continues to view the course as one of his favorites.
Spieth, a three‑time major champion and former world No. 1, has earned 13 wins on the PGA Tour including 3 majors and his memorable 2022 victory at the RBC Heritage. He first played the RBC Heritage in 2013 on a sponsor’s exemption and will be making his 10th start at Harbour Town Golf Links.
PGA Tour professionals have until Monday, April 13th to commit to compete. The complete field will be posted on RBCHeritage.com at that time.
