Background: History of the RBC Heritage Tournament

The RBC Heritage, also known as the Heritage Classic, is an annual fixture on the PGA Tour calendar, typically held in mid-April, following The Masters. Its inception dates back to 1969. Since its establishment, it has been hosted at the scenic Harbour Town Golf Links situated on Hilton Head Island.

Embodying its name, the tournament pays homage to the rich heritage of golf. The event commences with a ceremonial parade, mirroring a historic tradition from the 18th-century Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews. During this spectacle, the previous year’s champion receives the esteemed Captain of Gentlemen Golfers plaque and utilizes an authentic hickory club to strike a traditional leather golf ball into the Calibogue Sound waterway, synchronized with the blast of a cannon.
