The RBC Heritage tournament is back to its original schedule on the PGA Tour calendar. The players will take part in the 54th edition of the tournament that begins April 15, and there is a lucrative prize money up for grabs this time. Here’s a complete breakdown of the 2021 RBC Heritage Prize Money: 

The RBC Heritage is one of the oldest tournaments on the calendar. It’s been taking center stage at the Harbour Town Golf Links at Hilton Head Island since 1969, and top-ranked golfers always participate in the South Carolina-based event.

The structure of awarding the champion the highest stake from the prize purse is nothing new. This has been followed for years, and the winner of the RBC Heritage will be awarded handsome prize money this year. 

The tournament awards a prize purse of $7.1 million in the 2021 edition, and the winner will take home a huge chunk of $1.278 million (18%) as his reward.

Furthermore, the other top finishers will also earn a good figure as part of the RBC Heritage prize money. Since the total purse is a bit low when compared to other events, only the winner will earn a million dollars while all the others will be below that limit.
