2013 RBC Heritage: Tee times, TV schedule for Thursday

Just a few days removed from the conclusion of the Masters in Augusta, the 2013 RBC Heritage is scheduled to tee-off on Thursday. Many players make the quick trip to Hilton Head Island to play four rounds at the Sea Pines Resort. This will mark the 45th time the tournament has come to South Carolina, with the course annually drawing the praise of the regular touring professionals

Golf Channel will provide first-round coverage for three hours Thursday until 6 p.m. ET. Those who prefer to listen to the action live can do so on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio, which will stream the action from noon to 6. An online stream for the event can be found here.

Last year, Carl Pettersson cruised to the title and took home slightly more than $1 million of the $5.7 million purse. He ran away from Zach Johnson by five strokes, which made for a pretty laid back final round. The 2011 winner, Brandt Snedeker, enters this week as the favorite, just four days removed from his Sunday tumble down the leaderboard while playing in the final group at Augusta.

Here is a full look at the tee times for Thursday, courtesy of the PGA Tour’s official site. Everything is set to begin bright and early at 7:10 a.m. at Hilton Head.
