Fitzpatrick Survives Scheffler Playoff to Win RBC Heritage
Fitzpatrick earned his second RBC Heritage title with a 4-iron to 13 feet and a playoff birdie after Scheffler rallied late.
- On Sunday, April 19, 2026, Matt Fitzpatrick won his second RBC Heritage title, defeating world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler in a playoff at Harbour Town Golf Links with a 13-foot birdie putt on the first extra hole.
- Fitzpatrick entered the final round with a 3-shot lead but saw it evaporate when Scheffler birdied the 15th and 16th holes; Fitzpatrick's lone bogey on the 18th forced sudden death.
- During the playoff, Fitzpatrick struck a 4-iron to 13 feet, calling the shot "out of this world," while Scheffler failed to reach the green with his second shot.
- The victory earned Fitzpatrick the $3.6 million winner's prize from the $20 million purse, marking his fourth PGA Tour title and second win in the last month.
- "To go out today and go toe-to-toe with Scottie and get over the line there on the 73rd is special," Fitzpatrick said, noting the tournament meant more to him growing up than any major.
