Speaker
Steve Wilmot, Tournament Director provided us an update on the RBC Heritage which is being held this year from April 15 to 21.
This year there will be a limited field of 74 to 76 with no cut and increased prize money. The purse this year is $20 million. They will be going off the first tee in twosomes. Other changes are: there will be additional bleachers on the course allowing spectators to be off the ground and view all the groups; the Pro Am will be cut back because of the limited field and some groups will not have a professional; Monday is not a Pro Am day . The RBC Heritage, is one of 8 signature events and over 2500 volunteers support it.
Make sure to sign up for a shift or two at popcorn wagon or booth. Get your Plaid on and enjoy!
