The PGA Tour's best will make the trip from Augusta National to Harbour Town for the latest signature event

The first major of 2025 is officially in the rear view, but the ripple effects of an all-time week at the Masters are still going to permeate through the rest of the 2025 golf season. Rory McIlroy's win has finally gotten the proverbial monkey off his back, ending a decade-long major drought and completing the career grand slam, and it's now fair to wonder whether he will go on another major tear now that he's freed from that burden. 

That answer will not be readily available, and the rest of the PGA Tour's best will not have to deal with the Masters champion at this week's signature event, the 2025 RBC Heritage. McIlroy is returning home to Northern Ireland to celebrate his win as the rest of the best players on Tour make the short trip from Augusta National to Hilton Head Island. With McIlroy not in the field, the heavy favorite to win stands as reigning champion Scottie Scheffler. 

Scheffler has yet to claim a PGA Tour victory this season despite continuing to play exceptional golf. He hasn't quite found that same level as a year ago, and his trophy drought to start the season has offered a reminder of just how strong the top of the PGA Tour is right now. Aside from McIlroy, most of those figures are in the 72-man field this week.
