With barely a pause since The Masters, many of the world’s best head from Georgia to South Carolina for the latest of the PGA Tour’s signature events, the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town.
The tournament features a limited field of just 69 players, while there also isn’t a cut this week, so there’s sure to be strong competition across all four days, and there are some attractive pairings over the first two rounds.
Scottie Scheffler eased to his second Masters title in three years at Augusta National, and he’s teeing it up alongside a player who suffered contrasting fortunes at The Major. Jordan Spieth was one of the big names to miss the cut, and he’ll be looking to bounce back well as he begins preparations for a career Grand Slam attempt at May’s PGA Championship.
The pair begin at 10.30am ET (3.30pm BST) in the first round and 1.30pm ET (6.30pm BST) in the second.

Max Homa and Tommy Fleetwood were two of the players trying to chase Scheffler down for the title on Sunday, with the pair eventually finishing T3, and they will play alongside each other, with a start time of 10.50am ET (3.50pm BST) on Thursday and 1.50pm ET (6.50pm BST) the following day.
Ludvig Aberg came closer than anyone to beating Scheffler at Augusta National but fell four short of forcing a playoff. He’s paired with four-time Major winner Rory McIlroy, who was never in contention last week, but who will be hoping to draw inspiration from his finish of third at the Valero Texas Open two weeks ago.
Aberg and McIlroy begin at 1.40pm ET (6.40pm BST) in the first round, with a tee time of 10.30am ET (3.30pm BST) in the second round.
Another two who performed well at The Masters, with each finishing in the top 10, were Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele, and they get underway at 1.50pm ET (6.50pm BST) in the first round with a tee time of 10.40am ET (3.40pm BST) in the second round.
Below are the tee times and notable groups for the RBC Heritage.
