The 2026 RBC Heritage field is set with the passing of the PGA Tour tournament entry deadline. The field is set for this FedEx Cup event, played at Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, from April 16-19, 2026.

The RBC Heritage field is headlined by the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young, Ludvig Aberg and more. Justin Thomas is the defending champion.

This is set to be an 82-player field is played out over four days, with this event marking the 15th tournament of the 2026 PGA Tour schedule.

The 80-player tournament is being played in its originally intended slot, continuing the 2026 PGA Tour season after the Masters on Hilton Head Island in an event that offers 700 FedEx Cup points and 65 Official World Golf Ranking points to the winner.

We do not have our Monday qualifiers for this event, which will be played Thursday though Sunday. The Aon Swing 5 was finalized based on the results of the Masters Tournament. Also, players who would have qualified for The Sentry by winning a PGA Tour event in 2025 have gotten into this event instead, as that tournament was canceled this year.

The RBC Heritage alternate list has already been set, with the top names on the list set to replace any withdrawn players, starting with Brooks Koepka, Keith Mitchell and Taylor Moore.
