Tue Apr 15 09:50:00 UTC 2025: ## RBC Heritage Set for Thrilling Showdown After Masters Drama
**Hilton Head Island, SC** – The RBC Heritage tournament tees off this week at Harbour Town Golf Links, following a dramatic Masters Tournament where Rory McIlroy secured a career Grand Slam. While McIlroy will be absent, taking a well-deserved break after his victory, a star-studded field of 56 Masters competitors will be vying for the $3.6 million prize.
Harbour Town, known for its challenging layout and small greens, demands precision and sharp iron play. With ideal weather conditions predicted – sunshine and gentle winds – scoring is expected to be low, potentially mirroring last year’s average of 69.351. Unlike the Masters, there’s no cut at the RBC Heritage, ensuring all players earn FedExCup points and prize money.
The course itself has undergone minor bunker renovations since last year’s event, with more significant changes planned for next year when a six-month restoration project begins. This overhaul, overseen by five-time champion Davis Love III, aims to revitalize the course while staying true to Pete Dye’s original design.
Golf fans can follow the action closely through updates from PGATOUR.com’s Rob Bolton, who will be providing previews and recaps throughout the tournament.
