Justin Thomas wins RBC Heritage, earns $3.6M prize

Justin Thomas ended a nearly three-year PGA Tour winless streak by capturing the RBC Heritage title in a dramatic playoff against Andrew Novak, clinching victory with a long birdie putt on the first extra hole. Thomas's win at Harbour Town Golf Links earned him a $3.6 million prize and marked his 16th career PGA Tour title. The triumph was particularly meaningful for Thomas, who described the challenge of returning to the winner's circle and expressed how much he missed the thrill of victory. Andrew Novak finished second, taking home $2.16 million, while several others tied for third. Rory McIlroy, fresh off his Masters win, did not compete in the event and will return at the Zurich Classic. Thomas credited his patience and hard work for the breakthrough, noting this was his first win since the 2022 PGA Championship.
