Rbc Heritage Final Round Golf Tournament

HILTON HEAD, S.C. — The excitement builds as the final round of the RBC Heritage is set to commence on Sunday, featuring a tight race among some of the top players in golf. Si Woo Kim enters the day in the lead at 15 under par, hoping to secure his first PGA Tour victory in more than two years.

Justin Thomas, just one stroke behind, is determined to win after a prolonged absence from the winner’s circle, last claiming a title three years ago. Andrew Novak, also tied in second, poses a formidable challenge to both Kim and Thomas, while Maverick McNealy stands just a stroke back at 13 under.

The matchup is intensified as Brian Harman, fresh off a recent victory, starts three shots behind the leader. He will play alongside Tommy Fleetwood in a pairing at 1:35 p.m. A strong performance from Harman could make for an exciting finish, but securing a second win in three weeks will not come easy.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley are tied at 11 under, while eight other players, including Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley, are five shots behind Kim as they prepare for the final stretch of the tournament.

For fans eager to catch all the action, Golf Channel will broadcast coverage starting at 1 p.m. ET, followed by CBS from 3 to 6 p.m. ET. The tournament can also be streamed early through the NBC Sports App, providing access to featured groups starting at 7:45 a.m.

The RBC Heritage boasts a purse of $20 million, with this year’s winner taking home $3.6 million and 700 FedExCup points. The event is critically important for players vying for top spots in the standings, with no cut in this week’s field of 72 golfers.

As the final round unfolds at Harbour Town Golf Links, excitement is palpable among fans and players. Kim’s quest for victory, Thomas’s determination to reclaim glory, and the presence of elite competitors set the stage for a thrilling conclusion to the RBC Heritage.
