These Scottish stripes couldn’t go unnoticed from the many hats, skirts, blazers and more that sprinkled the roadways, stands and seats scattered throughout the course.
While spectators have shown out in their tartan plaid every day this week, Saturday is when it really counts.
On the tournament’s third day, spectators participate in Plaid Nation Day, which combines sportsmanship and fun, as the players compete for a piece of the $20 million purse.
From 12-2 p.m., games and fun take place around the Heritage Lawn, located by the 17th and 18th holes, to bring energy and enthusiasm to the high-stakes hours of the competition.
Here are a few of the standout tartan plaid outfits from 2025 spectators:
Scottish Kilts
Don’t be fooled, these gentlemen in kilts are bringing the needed spirit and energy to the final days of RBC Heritage.

Babies in Bubbles
Perhaps one of the most eye-catching outfits comes from the tournament’s smallest spectators, who love to show up and show out for the golfers, too.

Bending the Rules
For those who wanted to avoid full plaid but still show off their enthusiasm for the game, they opted for colorful linen tops that still kept the golf fun going.

Sir Willie
A look at all the RBC Heritage plaid outfits wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Sir Willie, the iconic Scotsman who brings laughs and a thick accent to spectators enjoying the game. From his top hat to his Croc shoe Jibbitz, he’s got the plaid look nailed down.
