Verizon Heritage, South Carolina’s only PGA TOUR event, is recognized as one of the premier golf tournaments in the country. Played at the famed Harbour Town Golf links in The Sea Pines Resort since 1969, the event has rich history in the lowcountry that continues to flourish year after year.

Harbour Town Golf Links is recognized annually as one of America’s top courses and is repeatedly selected by the PGA TOUR professionals as one of their favorites. Designed by Pete Dye in consultation with Jack Nicklaus in the fall of 1969, the course has always served as the host of the Verizon Heritage.

Apart from being played on a world-famous golf course, the Verizon Heritage is conducted in one of America’s premier resorts. Located on the southern tip of Hilton Head Island, The Sea Pines Resort offers accommodations, recreation, sports amenities and an intimacy unequaled by any other PGA TOUR stop.

We are proud that an incredible number of our past champions such as Nick Faldo, Hale Irwin, Bernhard Langer, Johnny Miller, Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, Nick Price, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and the late Payne Stewart have gone on to become enshrined in the World Golf Hall of Fame. Their hallowed performances set the tone each April as the Harbour Town Golf Links continues to attract an excellent field of internationally ranked players, widely regarded as one of the strongest on the PGA TOUR.

However, the real winners of the Verizon Heritage are the thousands of people the tournament helps each year. The Heritage Classic Foundation, general sponsor of the Verizon Heritage, provides the financial stability, guidance and direction to the tournament. The Foundation’s one simple goal is charity. Since it was founded in 1987 as a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization, the Heritage Classic Foundation has helped numerous lives throughout the state. After each tournament, the Foundation distributes revenue produced by the event to a wide variety of local and area charitable organizations, universities and medical institutions. In 2007, the Heritage Classic Foundation was honored to distribute $1.8 million dollars, bringing the total to $16.6 million since 1987.

With support from loyal sponsors, spectators and volunteers, the Verizon Heritage looks forward to continuing the tradition of giving year after year.

This year the Verizon Heritage will be held April 9th-15th.
