The fourth signature event of the PGA Tour season is upon us, as the PGA Tour's best make the short trip from Augusta, Georgia, to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, for the 2026 RBC Heritage. Fresh off the Masters, where Rory McIlroy took home the $4.5 million check for winning his second consecutive green jacket, big money will once again be on the line at Harbour Town Golf Links with a $20 million purse up for grabs.

McIlroy is not part of the field, but nearly the rest of the top players in the world will be, including Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young, Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele, Tommy Fleetwood, Ludvig Åberg, Russell Henley, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and Viktor Hovland. Many of those big names are looking for their first win of the season -- and the $3.6 million payday that comes with it -- as they battle for the plaid jacket, creating what should be a fierce tournament through the weekend.

While everyone wants to capture the win, the signature events provide an opportunity to take home big money and crucial points for the season-long race for the FedEx Cup for everyone in the top 10. A top 10 finish this week pays out at least $500,000, and a top 20 finish guarantees players $250,000. That, along with the opportunity to rack up points that can better position themselves to make it to East Lake for the Tour Championship, means there is plenty on the line this week at Hilton Head.

Check out the full purse breakdown and payouts for each spot on the leaderboard at the RBC Heritage.
