How much will the winner of the RBC Heritage take home in 2022

The RBC Heritage is always the week after The Masters, and the famous lighthouse along the 18th hole provides one of the great finishing challenges anywhere in golf. But as the event is right after a major, the shallow field makes for some pretty pedestrian prize money for those that do make the cut.

While the purse this year is a record $8 million, an increase from the $7.1 million on offer las year. That means the standard 18% check for the winner will be a cool $1,440,000. That’s in addition to a PGA Tour exemption through the end of the 2024 season, a spot in the Sentry Tournament of Champions next January in Hawai’i ... and an exemption for the 2023 Masters 51 weeks from now.

Harold Varner III’s -11 leads the -10 of Shane Lowry, Erik van Rooyen, and Patrick Cantlay, after 54 holes. At DraftKings Sportsbook Cantlay is favored at +360 to win, with Lowry +400, Varner +500. and van Rooyen the underdog of the last four at +850.
