PGA Tour signature event RBC Heritage comes on heels of the Masters
The grind continues as the top golfers in the game are getting a signature event on the back end of a major.
The PGA Tour had back-to-back signature events in February with the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Genesis Invitational. Now, the top golfers in the game are getting a signature event on the back end of a major. This scenario will happen one more time this year with the U.
S. Open which is then followed by the Travelers Championship. Justin Thomas is among the 82 golfers headed to Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, for this week's RBC Heritage .
For Thomas, it's a return to the site of his 16th and most recent PGA Tour win. As far as this particular event's dates and the overall Tour schedule in general, well, this is how things were decided. "It's not how I would prefer to draw it up, I would say," he said.
"I think especially when it comes to majors, because majors are, the season is important. Obviously it's very important for your FedExCup standing, how your season is going, getting into events, not in events, whatever it may be. But majors are kind of what guys will generally build their schedule off of.
