The rest of the golf world may still be wiping the Masters hangover from their eyes, but the top of the RBC Heritage leaderboard enters Sunday buzzing.
It’s a bustling crew leading things on Sunday at Harbour Town, a group that includes a former major winner seeking a redemptive victory (Matthew Fitzpatrick, -14), a former major winner seeking a career-altering victory (Jimmy Walker, -11), a former major winner seeking a bounceback win (Jordan Spieth, -12) and a former major winner seeking to stoke a monthslong hot streak (Scottie Scheffler, -11).
And those are just the major winners!
Within striking distance, there’s also Patrick Cantlay (-13), Tommy Fleetwood (-11) and Rickie Fowler (-10) — all of whom would have a remarkable victory story of their own to tell at the RBC Heritage.
Of course, it doesn’t hurt the jam-packed leaderboard to learn there’s a massive sum of cash on the line. The latest of the PGA Tour’s “designated events,” the winner in Hilton Head will take home a chunk of a massive $20 million purse pool, the second-largest such payout on the PGA Tour calendar. That works out to a stunning $3.6 million for the winner, more than Masters champion Jon Rahm took home from Augusta National last weekend.
