The RBC Heritage | Tournament Preview

HILTON HEAD - Eight-time PGA Tour winner Stewart Cink is back in Hilton Head to defend his RBC Heritage title. With his win in 2021, Cink earned his third title at the RBC Heritage, 21 years and 2 days since his first victory in the event (2000).

Multiple Wins at RBC Heritage (* in the field this week):

Win, Player, Years won

5 Davis Love III* 1987, 1991, 1992, 1998, 2003

3 Stewart Cink* 2000, 2004, 2021

3 Hale Irwin 1971, 1973, 1994

From The Masters to the RBC is always an easy trip that stacks the talent pool at Harbor Town. This year, 42 of the 90 players in the Masters Tournament field made the trip from Augusta to Hilton Head, including seven players who finished in the Top-10 last week: Shane Lowry (T-3), Cameron Smith (T-3), Collin Morikawa (5th), Corey Conners (T-6), Justin Thomas (T-8), Sungjae Im (T-8), Charl Schwartzel (T-10).

Nine players have earned their first PGA Tour victory this season, including seven in the last 11 weeks. Most recently, J.J. Spaun won the Valero Texas Open.

On This Day in Golf History:

April 13, 1986 -  In one of the most amazing occurrences in golf history, 46-year old Jack Nicklaus won his record 18th major title and his sixth Green Jacket with a one-stroke victory at the 50th staging of The Masters Tournament. Nicklaus shot a final round (65) with a back nine of six-under par (30) to edge Tom Kite and Greg Norman. - Courtesy of Randy Walker, Author of On This Day in Golf History, available via Amazon.com and by clicking HERE
