RBC Heritage PGA Tour Tournament

April 9-15, 2012
Harbour Town Golf Links at The Sea Pines Resort
Hilton Head Island, SC

Hilton Head Island is home to one of golf’s greatest traditions and the tradition continues! Click here to visit the RBC Heritage’s web site for more tournament and ticket information.

Hilton Head Island is a world-class golf destination and the tournament has played host to some of the greatest names in golf. Golf legends like Nicklaus, Palmer, Tiger, and Greg Norman, as well as today’s top golfers from around the globe, have all been challenged by the fairways of the Harbour Town Golf Links. It’s one of the few signature courses where island visitors can truly play where the pros play.

The brainchild of the late Charles Fraser, developer of Sea Pines, the first Heritage Classic golf tournament was held in 1969 as a means of establishing Hilton Head Island as a household name. The tournament took place at the Harbour Town Golf Links, which was newly designed by course architect Pete Dye with assistance from legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus. Another golf icon, Arnold Palmer, clenched the title and $20,000 of the inaugural competition’s $100,000 purse, and Hilton Head Island was well on its way to becoming one of the world’s ultimate resort destinations. Over the past 40 years, the Heritage has grown from an innovative marketing strategy to becoming one of the most beloved, most respected and most charitable stops on the PGA TOUR.
