2026 RBC Heritage Payouts: How Much Did Your Favorite Golfer Pocket?

“`
Alright, let’s cut to the chase. The 2026 RBC Heritage is wrapped. Harbour Town Golf Links played host, and the players battled it out. Now, the real question on everyone’s mind: who cashed the biggest checks? Because let’s be honest, while the glory is nice, the cold hard cash is what really matters to most of these guys.We’ve got the full rundown for you. Every single player who made the cut, and even some who didn’t quite stick around, has their earnings listed. It’s a big purse this year, a cool $20 million on the table. That’s a serious amount of dough. So, who walked away with the lion’s share? And who is probably kicking themselves for a missed putt or a bad bounce that cost them a few extra zeroes?

The Big Winners: Who Landed the Top Spots?

It’s always the same story, isn’t it? A few names rise to the top, and the rest scramble for the scraps. Matt Fitzpatrick absolutely crushed it this week. He’s walking away with a cool $3.6 million. That’s not a bad week’s work, is it? Just imagine what you could do with that kind of money. Probably buy a lot of golf clubs. Or maybe a small island. Who knows?Then you’ve got Scottie Scheffler, who always seems to be in the mix. He snagged $2.16 million. Solid. Si Woo Kim also put in a strong performance, earning $1.36 million. Not too shabby at all.And let’s not forget the guys who tied for fourth. Collin Morikawa, Harris English, and Ludvig Aberg all pocketed a cool $823,333.33. That’s a nice chunk of change for a shared position. It just goes to show, even finishing a few spots down the leaderboard can still set you up nicely.
