Here’s the latest on RBC Heritage cuts.
- 2026 RBC Heritage format: no 36-hole cut. All 82 players compete through Sunday, with the field playing four rounds regardless of first-two-round scores. This aligns with other “Signature Event” formats that year which also utilized no-cut structures.[1][3][4]
- Prize money remains substantial, with a $20 million purse and a top payout of $3.6 million for the winner, continuing the trend of generous purses for Signature Events.[3][5]
- For context, the no-cut approach has been reported consistently for RBC Heritage in 2025 and 2026 across multiple outlets, matching the event’s defined format in those years.[2][4][9]
Illustration of the format:
- Field: about 82 players
- Rounds: 4
- Cut: none after any round
- Purse: $20 million
- Winner’s share: $3.6 million
