A loaded field returns to Harbour Town Golf Links for another year of the RBC Heritage, the fourth Signature Event this season and first of three in the next four weeks. <\/p>\n
Justin Thomas is back to defend his title, which he won in a playoff over Andrew Novak. The win was Thomas\u2019 first since the 2022 PGA Championship and his 16th career PGA TOUR title. The field features 16 of the top-20 players in the world, headlined by world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who will attempt to avenge his narrow one-shot defeat at the Masters last week. <\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a look at the notable pairings for this week\u2019s RBC Heritage, which will be featured on PGA TOUR Live and Golf Channel coverage during the first two rounds of the competition. <\/p>\n
Scottie Scheffler\/Matt Fitzpatrick<\/p>\n
The aforementioned Scheffler will play alongside Fitzpatrick, a pairing that features two of the last three RBC Heritage winners. Fitzpatrick won the event in 2023, with Scheffler emerging victorious the following year. Both figure to be in the mix again this week, given their current form. Fitzpatrick was runner-up at THE PLAYERS Championship before winning the Valspar Championship. He tied for 18th at the Masters. Scheffler, after a slight lull after his win at The American Express, rounded into form and nearly won his third green jacket at Augusta National last week. <\/p>\n
Tommy Fleetwood\/Sam Burns<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a pairing of two top course fits with Fleetwood and Burns. Neither has won the RBC Heritage, but both have put together consistently respectable outings. Burns has two top 15s in his last three starts, with Fleetwood notching three top 15s in his last four starts. <\/p>\n
Xander Schauffele\/Russell Henley<\/p>\n
Two of your favorite ball strikers\u2019 favorite ball strikers round out this pairing. Can either build on the positive momentum from a week ago? Henley looked like he might steal the Masters when he made an early charge on his first nine, ultimately petering out and finishing in a tie for third. Schauffele never flew that close to the sun, but he put together an incredibly steady week, finishing in a tie for ninth. <\/p>\n
Justin Thomas\/Ludvig \u00c5berg<\/p>\n
If Rory McIlroy can go back-to-back at Augusta National, would Thomas do it at Harbour Town? The defending champion will attempt to accomplish the feat for the second time in his career, while Ludvig \u00c5berg will look to exorcise some early-season contention demons. <\/p>\n
Cameron Young\/Jordan Spieth<\/p>\n
Looking to watch two players play one golf course completely differently? The pairing of Young and Spieth is for you. Young wins with prodigious drives and strong approach play, while Spieth\u2019s brand of creativity and short game prowess illuminates a different way to win. The best part? Both can be successful around the narrow links of Harbour Town. <\/p>\n
Chris Gotterup\/Viktor Hovland<\/p>\n
Do you like to watch incredible drives of all shapes and sizes? You\u2019re going to get the full experience from this duo of Gotterup and Hovland, two of the preeminent off-the-tee players on the PGA TOUR. Gotterup remains the only player to win twice already this year, while Hovland is seeking his first victory since last year\u2019s Valspar. Hovland finished T18 at last week\u2019s Masters while Gotterup tied for 24th. <\/p>\n
