The 46th RBC Heritage will take place April 14-20, 2014 at the Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island. Make plans now to "Get Your Plaid On!" Since that humble beginning, the tournament, of course, has changed with the times. From those early Thanksgiving dates, it's been moved to a more advantageous date, the week after the Masters in April. The purse mushroomed from the original $100,000 (with Palmer winning only $20,000) to $5.8 million in 2014. The crowds and media exposure have also kept pace. Some 100,000 fans attend the tournament each year, with CBS and The Golf Channel blocking out 15 hours of live TV coverage.
