RBC Heritage Prize Money Payout 2024
Hot on the heels of The Masters comes the latest signature event on the PGA Tour, this time from Harbour Town in South Carolina
The first Major of the year, The Masters, is only just in the rearview mirror, but there is another big tournament this week with the latest of the PGA Tour’s signature events.
As a result, many of the top players who were in the field for the Major at Augusta National are also competing this week.
The status of the RBC Heritage also means that there is an attractive purse available. In fact, it is identical to the money on offer at The Masters - $20m. Last week, Scottie Scheffler claimed the biggest chunk of that for his victory, banking $3.6m, and that is also the figure the winner of the Harbour Town event will make.
Following Scheffler’s second Major win last week, he has now earned over $15m in just nine events in 2024, and it’s not just the World No.1 who has benefitted from his incredible success. Scheffler’s caddie has now picked up his third six-figure payday of 2024, with his current earnings for the year estimated to be at around $1.5m.
Scheffler is officially on the best run on the PGA Tour since Tiger Woods in 2000, and ominously for his opponents, he is also in the field for this week’s event.
It will be interesting to see how he gets on. After all, The Masters is one of the most gruelling tournaments around, and after Jon Rahm won the Major in 2023, he too followed it up with an appearance at the RBC Heritage days later, where he finished T15. The Spaniard admitted he was “tired” at the event but justified his participation by saying: “I made a commitment.”
Will Scheffler suffer similar fatigue, or will his extraordinary run continue on the way to another lucrative payout?

Below is the prize money payout for the RBC Heritage.

Who Are The Star Names At The RBC Heritage?
Not only is there a big payout, but there are also plenty of big names in the field. As well as Scheffler, seven more of the current world’s top 10 are in action, including Rory McIlroy, who has emphatically shut down a report he's about to move to LIV Golf.
Another year has now passed without McIlroy completing a career Grand Slam at The Masters, but there is still an exciting few months ahead with three more opportunities to claim a fifth Major title.
The chances of that happening admittedly didn’t look that high based on his performance at Augusta National, where he struggled in windy conditions on Friday, in particular. However, it’s only two weeks since he finished third at the Valero Texas Open, and he’ll take heart from that heading into this week’s event.
Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark, Patrick Cantlay and Brian Harman are other big names in the field, while two other players in the top 10, Ludvig Aberg and Max Homa, are hoping to build on strong Masters performances. Swede Aberg finished runner-up in his maiden Major appearance, while Homa completed his best finish at one of the big events with T3.
The defending champion is Matt Fitzpatrick, who beat three-time Major winner Jordan Spieth in a playoff in 2023. Both players are also in this week’s field.
Is There A Cut At The RBC Heritage?
The tournament is one of the PGA Tour’s signature events in 2024, and because of that, there is a limited field of just 69 players, while it is a no-cut event, meaning the biggest names will compete over all four days at Harbour Town.
Who Won The 2023 RBC Heritage?
In 2023, Matt Fitzpatrick won a thrilling contest, which included a shot of the year contender, when his nine iron effort in the third playoff hole against Jordan Spieth left him inches from the hole. It proved decisive as he saw off the challenge of the American.
