www.newsnow.comHere’s the latest I can share about RBC Heritage and any projected cuts.
-
The RBC Heritage in 2026 continued to feature a no-cut format for some early-season Signature events, meaning all players in the field tee off all four rounds rather than being cut to a smaller field after 36 holes. This setup keeps more players in contention deeper into the event, which affects who ends up in the weekend pairing and potential payout scenarios.[1][3]

As of mid-April 2026 coverage, Ludvig Åberg, Rickie Fowler, and Keegan Bradley were among the leaders early in the tournament’s first rounds, with leaders moving around as rounds progressed, reflecting the event’s usual competitive depth. For the second round, reports indicated play was sometimes suspended due to weather, which can influence the projected standings and weekend outlooks if rounds are incomplete when a cut would normally be made in other events.[6][1]
-
In terms of the event’s status and context: RBC extended its title sponsorship for both the RBC Heritage and the RBC Canadian Open through a multi-year agreement, reinforcing the tournament’s ongoing place on the PGA Tour schedule and its financial backing. The prize pool for the RBC Heritage remains substantial, with significant top-end payouts for the winner and strong incentives for top finishers.[3][4]

If you’re specifically tracking a “projected cut” for 2026: because the RBC Heritage is a no-cut format in recent years, there is no 36-hole cut to project in the traditional sense; all players typically complete four rounds unless weather or other unusual circumstances force an adjustment. For the most current rounds-in-progress and live projections, live leaderboard updates from PGA Tour coverage and major golf outlets around the weekend would be the best source.[3]
Would you like me to pull the latest live leaderboard updates and, if available, the current official PGA Tour projection for the weekend standings? I can also summarize how no-cut formats typically influence projections for players’ earnings and final positions.
