SuperSport viewers on DStv can look forward to seeing all the action from the PGA Tour’s RBC Heritage at the Harbour Town Golf Links in South Carolina from Thursday 14 to Sunday 17 April 2022.

SuperSport is the ultimate destination for Golf fans, with an unparalleled selection of action from around the world.

Known for much of its history as the Heritage Classic, the RBC Heritage was first played in 1969. It is one of only five tournaments given ‘invitational’ status by the PGA Tour and hence has a reduced field of 132 players.

The reigning champion of the RBC Heritage is Stewart Cink, who won his third title at the Harbour Town Golf Links (adding to triumphs in 2000 and 2004) by shooting a 19 under par 265, taking the victory by four strokes ahead of Emiliano Grillo and Harold Varner III.

“He’s old and he’s kicking everyone’s [butt],” Varner III said. “Yeah, it inspires me. It inspires me to know that I can play golf for a long time.”

Cink will return to defend his title in 2022, having become just the third player with three or more victories at Harbour Town, joining Davis Love III (five) and Hale Irwin (three). He will be joined by an elite group of players, headlined by the likes of Dustin Johnson, Collin Morikawa, Cameron Smith and Justin Thomas.

Thomas narrowly missed out on winning the recent Valspar Championship but believes he is on the right track heading into the RBC Heritage weekend.

“It’s coming,” Thomas said of an expected upcoming victory. “I’ve just got to be patient and be in the right frame of mind because you can’t force anything in this game. As soon as I start doing that you get down some rabbit holes.

“I’m doing a lot of really, really good things. I just need to keep putting myself there and it will start happening. I didn’t really do anything at all today and I very easily could have won the tournament. A lot to build on, a lot of positives, and we got a big stretch coming up, so I’m excited for it.”

South Carolina native Dustin Johnson joins Graeme McDowell, Matt Kuchar, Webb Simpson, Brandt Snedeker and Harold Varner III as RBC Heritage ambassadors.

The Harbour Town Golf Links features a par 71, 7,099-yard course. The purse for the RBC Heritage is $8million.

SuperSport viewers on DStv can look forward to seeing all the action from the first golf major of the year, The Masters Tournament, at the iconic Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia from Thursday 7 to Sunday 10 April 2022.

SuperSport is the ultimate destination for Golf fans, with an unparalleled selection of action from around the world.

The Masters is widely regarded as one of, if not the most iconic golf tournament in the world. Dating back to 1949 (the tournament was formed in 1934), the Masters presents a sought-after green jacket to its winner each year. In 2021, the man to put on that green jacket was Hideki Matsuyama, who shot a 10 under 278 to end one stroke ahead of Will Zalatoris.

Matsuyama became the first Japanese winner of a Major and established himself as a sporting icon in his home country. “I think Hideki could compare to Ichiro and Sadaharo Oh,” said Nobuhito Sato, a board member of the Japanese Tour, raising the name of two national treasures in trying to explain what a green jacket means in Japan.

Ichiro is the future Major League Baseball Hall of Famer and Oh is the all-time leader in home runs in Japanese baseball and a crossover figure who was immortalised in a Beastie Boys lyric.

“I am the first to win a major. If that’s the bar, I’ve set it,” said Matsuyama. “It’s thrilling to think a lot of youngsters in Japan are inspired by my achievement.”

While Matsuyama is hoping to defend his title, the favourites for the 2022 Masters Tournament are Jon Rahm, Collin Morikawa and Jordan Spieth, while the likes of Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Rory McIlroy are also high up the betting odds.

“I know my good putting days, my great putting days are really good, but it’s just about maintaining those bad ones because I can win golf tournaments with stuff like that,” said Thomas. “So that’s just where I’ve been trying to get it. And Jon [Rahm] is the same way I am. He might be harder on himself than I am on myself.”

He added: “It’s just about just saying, hey, it’s good, we’re moving the right way, we just keep getting one percent better, one percent better, middle of the year, end of the season, that’s going to turn out to be pretty good.”

The Augusta National Golf Club features a 7,475-yard par 72 course. The purse for The Masters Tournament is $11.5million.
