Scottie Scheffler tops a loaded 2026 RBC Heritage field at Harbour Town, where Jordan Spieth, Matt Fitzpatrick and Collin Morikawa add intrigue.
The 2026 RBC Heritage arrives with no room for a post-Masters exhale.
One of the PGA Tour’s biggest spring events is here immediately after Augusta, and Harbour Town Golf Links should once again force the world’s best players to shift gears in a hurry.
This week’s RBC Heritage features Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, Matt Fitzpatrick, Collin Morikawa and eight of the top 10 players in the world, making Hilton Head one of the strongest stops on the 2026 PGA Tour schedule.
Scheffler enters the chat as the clear headliner after a runner-up finish at the Masters, where he played the weekend without making a bogey.
That kind of form makes him an obvious favorite, especially at a time when his game appears to be settling back into peak shape.
When Scheffler is driving it accurately and controlling his irons, he tends to turn tournaments into survival tests for everyone else.
Still, this golf course has a way of leveling things out. Harbour Town isn’t about overpowering the field. It’s about shaping shots, staying patient and avoiding costly mistakes.
The updated layout now stretches a bit longer on the card, and subtle design changes should make one of the Tour’s tightest venues feel even more demanding.
That opens the door for players who thrive on precision. Fitzpatrick fits that mold perfectly and returns in strong form after a recent win at the Valspar Championship.
Spieth is another name to watch, especially if he can finally turn solid play into a serious Sunday run. Morikawa remains a fascinating wildcard after battling through pain at Augusta and still finishing T7.
Cameron Young, Russell Henley and defending champion Justin Thomas only add more depth to a $20 million signature event that matters well beyond this week.
With the PGA Championship getting closer, the RBC Heritage feels like more than a reset. It feels like a measuring stick for what’s next.
