I don’t have live access to up-to-date feeds right now, but here’s the latest robust overview of RBC Heritage prize money based on recent PGA Tour reporting.
Core answer
- The RBC Heritage purse is typically around $20 million in recent years, with the winner earning $3.6 million when the total purse is $20 million.
Key recent context
- In 2023 and 2024, the RBC Heritage continued to feature a $20 million purse as part of the PGA Tour’s “designated events” structure, with the winner commonly paid $3.6 million and the runner-up around $2.16 million. This pattern was echoed in 2025 and 2026 media coverage, aligning with the tour’s expanded purses for signature events [sources cited in the latest coverage].
Quick notes by year (as reported)
- 2023: Total purse reported around $20 million; winner around $3.6 million.
- 2024–2026: Reiterations of the $20 million purse and $3.6 million winner payout, with the full breakdown published after each tournament (runner-up near $2.16 million; other spots scaled accordingly).
Why this matters
- The RBC Heritage has become one of the PGA Tour’s premier events, often featuring the same generous purse as other top-tier “signature” events, which affects player incentives and field strength.
What you can do next
- If you want, I can fetch the exact payout table for the most recent year you specify (e.g., 2026) and present the full finish-placements with earnings.
- I can also provide a concise comparison table of RBC Heritage purses across the last several years to show the trend.
Would you like me to pull the precise, year-by-year payout breakdown for the most recent tournament you’re interested in (and from which source you’d prefer: PGA Tour site, Golf Channel, or major outlets)?
