Rickie Fowler is aiming to end his winless run at the 2026 RBC Heritage.
The tournament gets underway on Thursday, April 16, at Harbour Town Golf Links in South Carolina.
Fowler’s Pursuit at Harbour Town
Fowler, a popular pro with six PGA Tour wins, hasn’t secured a victory since 2023. He gained entry into this week’s Signature Event based on his FedEx Cup ranking from last year, where he finished 32nd.
Despite a promising start to the 2026 season, Fowler missed the cut in his two most recent appearances at the Texas Children’s Houston Open and the Valero Texas Open.
Fowler had hoped to earn an invite to the 2026 Masters through those tournaments, but was unsuccessful. At Harbour Town, he will compete against several Masters contenders, including Scottie Scheffler.
