<\/p>\n That\u2019s identical to the other seven elevated events in 2026. However, the money earned by the winner isn\u2019t quite as much as in three of them.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n The player-hosted Signature Events are the Genesis Invitational, the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Memorial Tournament, which differ slightly from the others in that they have a cut and also offer a tweaked prize money distribution.<\/p>\n In those events, the prize money is also $20m, but the winner earns $4m, whereas in the RBC Heritage, like the others, the player who lifts the trophy and slips on the red plaid jacket<\/a> will bank $3.6m.<\/p>\n But how much of that will find its way into the bank account of the winner\u2019s caddie?<\/p>\n \n The winner’s caddie is set for a big payout at the RBC Heritage <\/p>\n (Image credit: Getty Images)<\/p>\n With one round to play, Matt Fitzpatrick<\/a> led by three, leaving his caddie Daniel Parratt<\/a> the most likely to earn a percentage of the $3.6m, but it\u2019s not confirmed exactly how much Fitzpatrick pays his looper.<\/p>\n What we do know is that the winners typically hand out 10% of the prize money to their bagman.<\/p>\n That means that, whether Parratt helps Fitzpatrick win the title or another player lifts the trophy, the caddie will likely earn around $360,000 – the same as Justin Thomas<\/a>‘s temporary caddie Joe Greiner is thought to have won after helping the two-time Major winner to victory a year ago.<\/p>\n \n Justin Thomas won the RBC Heritage in 2025 with Joe Greiner on his bag<\/p>\n (Image credit: Getty Images)<\/p>\n The caddies of players finishing further down the leaderboard are also expected to be handsomely rewarded.<\/p>\n What to read next<\/p>\n For example, caddies of players finishing in the top 10 of the RBC Heritage are expected to receive around 7-8% of the prize money and, with no cut at the event, it is thought roughly 5% goes to the others in the field.<\/p>\n If a player finishes in solo second, he will earn $2.16m. Given that, a conservative estimate of his caddie\u2019s bonus would be $151,200.<\/p>\n Even the player finishing at the foot of the leaderboard is set for a $32,000 payday, with 5% of that coming to $1,600.<\/p>\n That\u2019s not a rule, with some pros prepared to award 10% of their prize money to their caddie regardless of their place on the leaderboard and the figure decided by each pair.<\/p>\n That won’t be their total earnings for the week, either. That\u2019s because most caddies are either paid an annual salary or given a weekly base rate, which can be topped up depending on performance.<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/RpYJfJWz3ZGZwXaV3jWsqV.jpg\")
