Harbour Town
Pete Dye is back!
Small greens. Small targets off the tee. Big penalty areas.
This is the week for veterans and patience.
The driver will not be the required club on most holes.
Score when you can, make par when you cannot.
The weather annually dictates the scoring.
This week, the forecast is perfect. Winds from the Southwest all four days. Go low, my friends!
Notes:
- Field of 82
- $20 million – $3.6 million – 700 FedExCup points.
Notables
- The field of 82 players includes 41 of the top 50 from the Official World Golf Rankings.
- The winners from 2024 and 2023 both posted 63 in Round 3. Last year, Thomas tied the course record in Round 1.
- In 2024, Scottie Scheffler joined Bernhard Langer as the only two players to win this event after donning the green jacket the week prior. That streak will continue as Rory McIlroy is not in the field.
- Boo Weekley (2007-2008) was the last player to win back-to-back events.
- Wesley Bryan (2017) is the only native South Carolinian to win the event.
- Thomas is the only winner in the last five years to rank inside the top 20 (3rd) in SG: Putting.
- The scoring averages of 69.351 in 2024 and 69.368 are the two lowest April totals since the putting surfaces were regrassed in 2016.
- Extra holes were required to determine three of the last four winners.
- There is not a 36-hole cut this week.

Last WEEK – Masters
Welcome aboard to all the top 50 players in the OWGR!
Time to break glass in case of an emergency!
THE CHOICE: Jon Rahm – T38
He looks pissed. He sounds pissed. He probably is pissed that he’s stuck in the desert while the rest of the guys head back to civilization.
I hope he takes it out on the field.
He opened with 78. The end.
Unbelievable.
Who knew that Tyrrell Hatton was the best player over there?
This Week – RBC Heritage
Since I sacrificed Cantlay on the other coast with small greens, it’s back to the drawing board this week.
Yogi Berra once remarked, “It’s getting late early”, and I feel that with OAD.
This season has been nothing short of a dumpster fire. If I charged you to read this, which I don’t, I would probably provide a refund. PROBABLY.
Whatever.
The pick this week is Russell Henley.
My God have mercy on his soul.
Others
Cameron Young, Matt Fitzpatrick, Jacob Bridgeman, Brian Harman
