Answer: The RBC Heritage 2026 format has no 36-hole cut, so all players play all four rounds. The field is a limited-signature-event size, with 82 players in 2026, and the winner earns a large prize and FedExCup/OWGR points.[1][2][3]
Details:
- No 36-hole cut: After 36 holes, there is no reduction in players; all 82 (or around that field size) compete through Sunday.[3][1]
- Field and purse: The event is a Signature Event with a sizable purse (around $20 million in recent years) and full four rounds for every participant.[2][5]
- Winner rewards: The victor receives a multi-million prize and valuable FedExCup points, with exemptions linked to the win.[7]
- Context: RBC Heritage has consistently operated as a no-cut, limited-field Signature Event since its designation began in 2024, continuing in 2026.[6][1]
