The 2026 RBC Heritage prize money payout is from the $20 million purse, with the 82 professional players who complete four rounds at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, earning PGA Tour prize money this week.

The winner's share of the RBC Heritage prize pool is at $3,600,000, with the second-place finisher taking home $2,160,000 in PGA Tour prize money today. The RBC Heritage prize-money payout breakdown shows a payout of 18 percent of the purse to the winner, and how much each PGA Tour player earns is guaranteed down to the last-place professional player.

The 2026 RBC Heritage field is headed by Matt Fitzpatrick, Scottie Scheffler, Brian Harman, Viktor Hovland and more.

This tournament started with 82 players, and a cut was not made this week after two rounds to the top 65 players and ties. Every professional player in the field is paid for completing the event, but how much each player is paid at the 2026 RBC Heritage from the correct 2026 RBC Heritage full-field payout is based on their finish in this event.

The 2026 RBC Heritage prize money payout is set ahead of the event. In events with a cut, the PGA Tour will add money to the purse, with the PGA Tour paying out money from the purse if more than, in this case, 65 professionals make the cut to ensure all players are paid.

What else is on the line

Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.

The winner of this event will get 700 FedEx Cup points, as is the practice for all Signature events in 2026.

Additionally, there are 55 Official World Golf Ranking points on the line for the winner.

While this event offers a significant payday, the win comes with enhanced PGA Tour status. The winner gets a two-year PGA Tour exemption, as well as invites to the Masters, PGA Championship and the remaining 2026 Signature events.
