One of its unique traditions is the plaid tartan jacket, awarded to the winner—a nod to Scottish heritage and a symbol of the tournament’s rich history. More than a PGA Tour event; the Heritage is a rich legacy that blends community, charity, and competition.
The tournament has its legendary moments – Arnold Palmer’s first win, Stewart Cink’s record-breaking performances, and Webb Simpson’s precision on the 14th hole. Matt Fitzpatrick won in 2023 in a playoff, Jordan Spieth in 2022, Stewart Cink in 2021, and Webb Simpson in 2020. For 2025 the top contenders will be Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa, and Viktor Hovland. Their consistency, course management, and ability to navigate Harbour Town’s tight layout will be key to victory.
RBC Heritage 2025 Field
The 2025 Heritage Golf Tournament will be played at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. This beautiful course, part of Sea Pines Resort, is known for its gorgeous scenery, challenging layout, and the iconic Harbour Town Lighthouse. Unlike many modern courses that favour the big hitters, this par-71 course requires precision with narrow fairways and strategically placed bunkers. Holes 13 is a tricky par-4 with water hazards and hole 18 runs along the beautiful Calibogue Sound. The Bermudagrass fairways and greens will play smooth but tough for the pros.
Grandstands will be located at the 1st tee, 9th green, and 18th green for prime viewing. The weather in Hilton Head in April is usually warm but pleasant with the coastal breeze, especially on the later holes near the water. Golfers should wear lightweight, moisture-wicking polo shirts with comfortable golf trousers or shorts. Spikeless or soft-spiked golf joggers will have a grip on Bermuda grass. A cap and a light wind vest will be useful for the occasional cool breeze.
