WATCH: Scottie Scheffler’s fascinating gunpowder-fueled celebration for The 2025 RBC Heritage

Scottie Scheffler is the defending champion of the 2025 RBC Heritage, which will begin this week at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, on April 17th. The 2025 RBC Heritage is one of the signature events and has limited golfers in the field, with Scottie Scheffler looking to defend his title and earn his first win of the season.

The tournament has some incredible traditions associated with the event, like the gunpowder-fueled ceremony where the defending champion plays a tee shot along with a cannon shot.

Meanwhile, this week, along with Scottie Scheffler, the field has prominent names like Ludvig Aberg, Rickie Fowler, Tommy Fleetwood, Viktor Hovland, Max Homa, and others.
