PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLORIDA – The PGA TOUR announced Monday the four featured groupings for Thursday-Friday at the RBC Heritage, to be contested at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, South Carolina.
The RBC Heritage, traditionally played the week following the Masters Tournament, was originally scheduled to be played April 13-19, and was announced as canceled on March 17 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, due to flexibility allowed by the postponement of 2020 major championships, the RBC Heritage returned to the PGA TOUR schedule.
