The star-studded roster for the RBC Heritage is what fans are waiting for. Fans are expecting adrenaline-filled action at the $20 million signature event. And for that, the major reason is the field. The 2025 Masters runner-up, Justin Rose, who fell short of a stroke at the playoff, will be continuing his great form at the RBC Heritage. Along with Rose, Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Rickie Fowler, and many prominent names will be featured on the course. Out of the top 50 in the OWGR, 43 players are in the roster for the RBC Heritage, but with such great names in the sport, will the weather be kind enough to offer the great golfing experience? Well, that might be a worry as per the weather prediction of AccuWeather.
