Welcome to RBC Heritage

Swedish born PGA TOUR golfer, Carl Pettersson had just sunk his putt on the 18th hole in front of a crowd of fans to win the 44th annual RBC Heritage, when one of the Heritage Classic Foundation board members cleverly announced “How Swede it is!” It surely was sweet for Pettersson who earned his fifth win on the PGA TOUR and $1,026,000, but it was even sweeter for everyone on Hilton Head Island and South Carolina.

As Pettersson hoisted the Sir William Innes trophy during Closing Ceremonies, the “plaid clad” Foundation members standing behind him were proud and relieved that the future of South Carolina’s only PGA TOUR event was secure.

It was a much different story in 2011, when the tournament was without a title sponsor and in jeopardy of losing its spot on the PGA TOUR’s calendar. Just two months later, title sponsor RBC and presenting sponsor Boeing stepped up to the tee box and firmly committed to the event until 2016.

The RBC Heritage is more than just a golf tournament to the residents of Hilton Head Island and South Carolina. It is a major economic engine, bringing $80 million into the state each year and funds that are raised through the annual tournament are distributed to those in need throughout the area. Since 1987, more than $22 million has been donated to hundreds of organizations.

Now a U.S. citizen and a resident of Raleigh, North Carolina, Carl Pettersson joins a long list of Heritage champions that includes golf legends like Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Greg Norman, as well as today's top golfers from around the globe like Jim Furyk, Davis Love III and Stewart Cink.

The 45th RBC Heritage will take place April 15-21, 2013 at the Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island. Make plans now to “Get Your Plaid On!”
