Did you know that the RBC Heritage is the most well-attended sporting event in South Carolina each year? The tournament attracts over 135,000 spectators annually to the picturesque Harbour Town Golf Links. With the 2025 edition just around the corner, golf fans are already scrambling to secure their tickets. The event, scheduled for April 14-20, follows directly after the Masters. It’s positioned as one of the PGA Tour’s prestigious Signature Events with a massive $20 million purse.
Everything you need to know about ticket options and purchasing process
Daily grounds tickets are available with varying price points throughout the tournament week. Tuesday and Wednesday practice rounds are the most affordable at just $18 per day. Thursday kicks off the official competition with tickets priced at $106. Friday tickets cost $115, while Saturday’s third round commands the premium price of $133. Sunday’s final round, where the champion dons the iconic plaid jacket, runs $110.
Weekly passes present the best value for die-hard fans planning to attend multiple days. “The 5-Day Pass offers the most comprehensive tournament experience,” according to tournament officials. These passes typically sell out quickly as they provide tremendous savings over daily tickets. The comprehensive 6-Day Pass costs $1,159 for those wanting the complete Heritage experience.
The tournament’s iconic plaid theme adds a special dimension for attendees. Known as “Plaid Nation,” this tradition stems from the tartan jacket awarded to champions. Unlike the Masters’ green jacket, winners don’t take the plaid jacket home. “The tartan is specially made in Scotland and accredited by the Scottish Tartan Society in 1970,” tournament historians note. After the ceremony, the champion’s measurements are taken, and a custom jacket is created for them to wear at the following year’s opening ceremony.
Special discounts make the tournament more accessible to military personnel and families. Active duty military members and their dependents receive free admission Tuesday through Sunday. Mastercard holders can also access grounds passes for $100 per day, including the premium Saturday round. Parents will appreciate that children 15 and under get in free with a ticketed adult.

Purchasing tickets through official channels ensures authenticity and fair pricing. The tournament’s official website (rbcheritage.com) offers direct sales, though many tickets are now available through Ticketmaster resales. Third-party platforms like SeatGeek and Vivid Seats also offer options, with prices ranging from as low as $10 for practice rounds to over $240 for Saturday’s action.
Tournament director Steve Wilmot recommends acting quickly this year. “With four top-ten players already committed and defending champion Scottie Scheffler returning, we expect another sellout,” he said recently. Mobile ticketing is now standard, so ensure your smartphone is charged and ready for entry.
As you plan your Heritage experience, it’s worth appreciating the storied legacy that makes this tournament so special to golf fans worldwide.
Rich tradition and memorable moments define the Heritage
The RBC Heritage boasts a storied history dating back to 1969 when Arnold Palmer claimed the inaugural title. The tournament established itself at Harbour Town Golf Links, a masterpiece co-designed by Pete Dye and Jack Nicklaus. Their creation has become one of the most distinctive stops on the PGA Tour calendar.
The signature red plaid jacket awarded to champions represents a nod to Scottish golf traditions. This unique prize has become as recognizable as the Harbour Town Lighthouse that stands beyond the 18th green. That lighthouse now serves as one of golf’s most iconic backdrops during tournament broadcasts.
Davis Love III has etched his name in Heritage lore with a record five victories (1987, 1991, 1992, 1998, and 2003). His mastery of Harbour Town’s tight fairways and small greens made him the tournament’s most successful competitor. Unlike many modern courses that favor power hitters, Harbour Town demands precision over distance.
Recent winners have added their own chapters to the tournament’s rich history. Scottie Scheffler claimed victory in 2024, cementing his status as the game’s dominant player. Matt Fitzpatrick thrilled fans in 2023 with a dramatic playoff win that showcased his remarkable short game. Jordan Spieth delivered his own signature moment in 2022, capturing the plaid jacket with clutch putting when it mattered most. These champions have all conquered Harbour Town’s unique challenges with their precision and strategic play.
The tournament’s scheduling has also become a tradition. It’s always held the week after The Masters, offering players a more relaxed atmosphere following Augusta’s intensity. The event wasn’t always sponsored by RBC, with Royal Bank of Canada taking over title sponsorship in 2012 after several previous sponsors.
