RBC Heritage purse, payouts: How much did Justin Thomas earn for his win at Harbour Town?
He went more than 1,000 days between wins, but Justin Thomas is finally back on top.
Thomas sank a deep birdie putt on the first playoff hole to beat Andrew Novak and win the RBC Heritage on Sunday afternoon. He fired a bogey-free 68, and then erupted into a massive celebration on the green after what was his first win since the 2022 PGA Championship.
WHAT A WAY TO WIN IT! 🤯

With that win came a $3.6 million check, too.
As the RBC Heritage is a Signature Event on the PGA Tour, it offered a $20 million purse. That's just shy of what the Masters offered last week, and on par with some of the biggest prizes on Tour this season.
Thomas has come painfully close to winning in recent years. He had six top-10 finishes on Tour last season, including a runner-up finish at the Zozo Championship, and he entered this week with a pair of runner-up finishes this season, too. Thomas finished in second at The American Express in January and then again at the Valspar Championship in March. He's not missed a single cut in 10 starts this season, and he's coming off a T36 finish at Augusta National last week.
But Thomas was great this week from the jump. He matched the course record on Thursday with a 61, and held his first 36-hole lead in nearly four years after Friday's round. He then held on late and, after Novak missed an 8-footer for the win in regulation, handled the playoff perfectly to finally grab his win.
Here's a look at how much Thomas and the rest of the field earned this week in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

Tour de France announces route change to Stage 19 to avoid herd of diseased cows
The Tour de France is taking a short detour on Friday, as the competition enters its third to last day. In an unusual move, the organization announced Thursday that the route for Friday's Stage 19 will follow an altered route in order to avoid a herd of diseased cattle. The Tour de France clarified in the announcement that as a result of the illness (an outbreak of contagious nodular dermatitis), the farmers will have to cull the herd to stop the spread of disease. The choice to move the route is done both to help the race move more smoothly and also, per the Tour, "in light of the distress experienced by the affected farmers." The herd is located in the Col des Saisies, a mountain pass that is normally part of the route from Albertville to La Plagne, two mountain towns in western France. Stage 19 is the sixth and final mountain stage of the 23-day race. The changed route, which bypasses the Col des Saisies, shortens the route significantly, from 129.9 kilometers to 95 kilometers. Cyclists will still start in Albertville, and will travel seven kilometers before peeling off to rejoin the original route near Beaufort. The race will begin at 2:30 p.m. local time, one hour later than originally scheduled. Stage 18, another mountainous stage in the French Alps, took riders from Vif to Courchevel on Thursdays. Australian Ben O'Connor finished first in Thursday with a time of 05:03:47. After 18 stages, Slovenian rider Tadej Pogacar currently leads all riders with a time of 66:55:42. After Friday's shortened Stage 19, the race will take two more stages. First, Stage 20 will take riders from Nantua to Pontarlier in a hilly race. Then, on Sunday, the cyclists will conclude with a flat race from Mantes-La-Ville to Paris, with the iconic ending at the Champs-Élysées.

PGA Tour pro Zac Blair goes 'undercover' for driver fitting at golf shop ahead of 3M Open
BLAINE, Minn. – PGA Tour pro Zac Blair has the swing speed and spin characteristics of the average 1 handicap. That's according to a Golf Galaxy fitter in the greater Minneapolis area. Blair, 34, got in to the 2025 3M Open field off the alternate list on Wednesday afternoon when Anders Albertson withdrew. But the course and practice facilities were closed early in the afternoon due to a storm that hit TPC Twin Cities. So, Blair did what any diehard golfer would do — he drove to a nearby golf shop and scheduled a driver fitting so he could hit balls on a simulator. He wound up at a Golf Galaxy and had someone video the encounter with a staffer. He played his college golf at BYU and entered the week ranked No. 300 in the Official World Golf Ranking. It hasn't been the best season for Blair, who has just one top-25 finish on Tour and has missed the cut at more than half his starts. He's still winless on Tour, losing in a playoff last July at the Isco Championship. Going to a golf store to hit balls feels very on brand for Blair, who has sought out the best courses in the world during his travels and created The Buck Club, a course he dreamed of building in his native Utah before ultimately teaming with Kye Goalby to build The Tree Farm in South Carolina. But he is way better than a 1 handicap and surely could school the club fitter, who didn't recognize Blair in a T-shirt and sweatpants, and near the end of the video suggests he's the better golfer between the two. You can watch the video here.

Ineos-Grenadiers staff member David Rozman leaves Tour de France over doping allegation links
COURCHEVEL, France — Ineos-Grenadiers soigneur David Rozman has left the Tour de France in the wake of media reports linking him to disgraced German doctor Mark Schmidt, the convicted head of an international blood doping ring. Rozman 'has stepped back from race duties and has left the Tour,' Ineos-Grenadiers said in a statement provided to The Associated Press on Thursday, noting that Rozman had received a request from the International Testing Agency (ITA) to attend an interview. It comes following reports alleging Rozman exchanged incriminating text messages with Schmidt going back to June 2012. Ineos-Grenadiers was racing as Team Sky at the time, when Rozman worked with 2012 Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins, and Chris Froome, who won four Tour titles with the British team. There was no suggestion any of them engaged in illegal activity. Soigneurs are part of the support team staff, with a focus on the riders' welfare. Schmidt was convicted of treating cyclists and winter-sports athletes with blood doping for years at the culmination of the Operation Aderlass criminal investigation in 2021. Schmidt, who previously worked for the Gerolsteiner cycling team, was accused of violating drug and doping laws in nearly 150 cases from his medical practice in Erfurt, Germany. German broadcaster ARD linked Rozman – without specifically naming him – to Schmidt in a documentary aired last month, when it alleged that a man working for Ineos-Grenadiers had in 2012 exchanged incriminating messages with Schmidt according to chat logs from the Operation Aderlass trial in Munich. Journalist Paul Kimmage, a former rider, subsequently named Rozman in a piece he wrote for the Irish Independent newspaper, and other outlets followed suit. Ineos-Grenadiers said Thursday it was aware of the allegations but had not received any evidence nor had it been asked to take part in any inquiry. It said Rozman was informally contacted by an ITA staff member in April 2025 'about alleged historical communications' and Rozman immediately notified the team. 'Although the ITA assured David at the time that he was not under investigation, Ineos promptly commissioned a thorough review by an external law firm,' the team said. 'The team has acted responsibly and with due process, taking the allegations seriously whilst acknowledging that David is a long-standing, dedicated member of the team. The team continues to assess the circumstances and any relevant developments, and has formally requested any relevant information from the ITA.'
