Spring is in full bloom and so is the PGA Tour season. With the Masters now over, the pros head to Harbour Town for the 2021 RBC Heritage. Here’s what you need to know to watch the first round on Thursday.

Previewing RBC Heritage Round 1

Webb Simpson had a major comeback year in 2020. The 2012 U.S. Open champion failed to capture a victory in all of 2019, but that all changed last year. First, Simpson triumphed at the 2020 Waste Management Phoenix Open in February. Then shortly after the Tour came back after the Covid-19 hiatus, Simpson won again at the RBC Heritage, his seventh PGA Tour victory.
