RBC Heritage: What to know for the TOUR's trip to Hilton Head

After an exciting trip to Augusta National culminated with World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler claiming his fourth win in six starts and first major championship, the TOUR heads to Hilton Head for the RBC Heritage.

Despite the event's unenviable position of having to follow up one of golf's biggest tournaments, the Heritage has an exciting field that includes half of the world's top 10 and other popular players like Jordan Spieth and Ian Poulter.

When: April 14-17
Where: Hilton Head, South Carolina

The 48-year-old won by a convincing four strokes over Emiliano Grillo and Harold Varner III. Corey Conners, Maverick McNealy, and Matt Fitzpatrick finished tied for fourth, six shots back.
