Included tee times for round 1
In this week’s RBC Heritage, Rickie Fowler is hoping to end his long winless streak. The famous professional, who has six PGA Tour wins to his name, has not won since 2023.
Fowler earned his spot in this week’s Signature Event with his FedEx Cup finish last year (32). He had a strong start to the 2026 season but missed the cut in his last two events at the Texas Children’s Houston Open and the Valero Texas Open.
In those tournaments, Fowler was trying to get an invitation to the 2026 Masters, but was unsuccessful. However, he will have to face several Masters contenders in Harbor Town, including runner-up Scottie Scheffler.
Fowler plays in the opening round of the RBC Heritage on Thursday at 7:55 am ET along with Kurt Kitayama.
You can watch Thursday’s first round of the 2026 RBC Heritage from 2-6 pm ET on Golf Channel. PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ will offer exclusive early coverage beginning Thursday at 7 a.m. ET, in addition to the featured team and featured hole.
