The tournament will start with a tee-off on Thursday, April 13, at 7 am ET. Ahead of the first round, PGA Tour officials asked the golfers to say something nice about Jason Dufner and shared a short video on their Twitter account.

The clip starts with a poster with "Say something nice about Jason Dufner" written on it. Grayson Siggs was the first to speak about Dufner. He said:
"He's got a great move at the golf ball, but he's an Auburn Tiger."
Scottie Scheffler joined the thread and added:
"Jason Dufner is a fantastic person. We love Jason Dufner."
Jon Rahm also spoke about the American golfer and appreciated his unique sense of humor. He said:
"He is very funny. His dry humor is very unique. So, funny guy if you haven't met him. "
Next up was Rickie Fowler:
"Dufs one of my best friends. He may be one of the more misunderstood guys out here, a fairly quiet and kind person, the circle pretty small. But he's, about as good as they come. It can be some random shows or whatever. We stay together a decent amount and, you get him going, commentating on different stuff or he's just fun to be around."
Fowler went on to say:
"He's very different, when you get him behind closed doors and hanging on casuals, maybe a glass of wine or four. Yeah, like I said he's one of my best friends, so I can't say enough, good things about him."
Wesley Bryan, who will also be playing at the RBC Heritage, said:
"He's an amazing partner to stretch with in the trailers."
