The Easter Bunny returns

Cannon blast with the world’s best
At the RBC Heritage the opening ceremonies end with a bang — literally. The tournament’s signature cannon shot blends history with the excitement of the game. Last year, 2023 champion Matt Fitzpatrick took the honors. This year, it’s defending champion Scottie Scheffler’s turn. As the replica 18th-century cannon fires, he’ll launch a golf ball into the Calibogue Sound, officially signaling the start of South Carolina’s premier golf event.
