Prepare for spoilers and tape-delayed coverage on Sunday, as the final round of the 2018 RBC Heritage will be completed early. The PGA Tour moved up final-round tee times with the expectation of poor weather in the area potentially leading to lengthy rain delays and a Monday finish if the schedule wasn't advanced.

The weekend field teed off at Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island, S.C., from the first and 10th tees in a groups of three from 7-9 a.m. Eastern. This should put the completion of play in the 1:30-2 p.m. range.

  • How to watch online: Golf Channel is streaming their live final-round coverage on GolfChannel.com and in their app. There will be a switch off for CBS as well.
  • How to watch on TV: Golf Channel will still air their normal early-window coverage from 1-2:45 p.m., and CBS will pick up the tape-delayed coverage from 3-6 p.m. Eastern.

However, if you want to know what happened the second it's finished, come back to Golf News Net for the final leaderboards and relevant information.

This weekend has been one of early finishes. The LPGA scheduled its Lotte Championship to run from Wednesday through Saturday in Hawaii. The PGA Tour Champions played 36 holes on Saturday to complete their 54-hole tournament in somewhat nearby Duluth, Ga., to avoid a washed-out Sunday and potential Monday finish. Now, the PGA Tour is doing the same thing to avoid a Monday finish and delaying travel to the Valero Texas Open.
