www.newsnow.co.ukShort answer: RBC Heritage 2026 has no 36-hole cut; all players compete four rounds. The event is a signature PGA Tour format with a full-field payday for everyone.
Details:
- Format: 72-hole stroke play with no 36-hole cut, meaning all entrants play all four rounds regardless of scoring [source context: coverage across golf outlets discussing RBC Heritage as a no-cut signature event].[2][5]
- Field and payout: Typical field around 80 players; prize purse in the vicinity of $20 million, with the winner earning around $3.6 million and substantial payouts continuing down the leaderboard.[3][5]
- Implications for players: With no cut, even players who struggle on Thursday/Friday can still compete for four rounds and still earn a payout, which is a hallmark of RBC Heritage’s signature-event model.[5][2]
Illustration:
- If you’re following leaderboard chatter, expect all players to be in contention through Sunday, and the final standings decided after 72 holes, potentially needing a playoff if tied.[7]
