HILTON HEAD, SC
Nine of the top 10, and 41 of the top 50 players in the world, take the short drive from Augusta, Georgia, down to Hilton Head Island for the RBC Heritage. One of the best tournament settings on the PGA TOUR, a field of 82 players will play 72-holes for $20 million. A terrific $3.6 million for first, our defending champion is Justin Thomas. Thomas completed a two-plus-year comeback by winning in a playoff over Andrew Novak. I love bringing that up because it is a great reminder of the mix of players we see in this Signature event. Fifty-three players competed in the Masters. Throw in another 29 from the TOUR, many of whom had to play their way in and travel to the Low Country in fantastic form. In our fourth year with a $20 million purse, the elite players have plenty of history for us to focus on.
