The 2024 RBC Heritage, held at Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, follows a unique format. Unlike most PGA Tour events, there is no cut after the first two rounds.

The field consists of 69 players who qualified for the event. Eligibility includes top players from the FedEx Cup standings from the previous season, the current season, and better players in the Official World Golf Ranking.

What is the format of the RBC Heritage?

The tournament is a 72-hole event. Pros play in twosomes for each of the first two days, except for Alejandro Tosti, who plays as a solo.

Morning and afternoon waves are used for the first two rounds. A cut is not made after 36 holes; all players are eligible to finish the event.

Pairings and tee times for the third and fourth rounds are based on each player’s total score through two and three rounds, respectively. The player with the lowest total score after 72 holes is the winner.

In case of ties after 72 holes, a sudden-death playoff is used. Playoff holes are 18, 18, 17, and then 18 repeated. Players comPete hole-by-hole until a winner emerges.

Prize and Exemptions

The winner earns a two-season PGA Tour exemption. They are exempt from other tournaments as well. The winning player receives 700 FedEx Cup points and a $3.6 million share from the 2024 RBC Heritage purse.

With no pressure of elimination, Golf enthusiasts can look forward to four days of exciting play, unexpected twists, and memorable moments on the picturesque Hilton Head Island course. Whether it’s a seasoned pro or an emerging talent, every Golfer has a chance to shine in this unique format
