Ryo Ishikawa, Richard Sterne and Gary Woodland are the latest PGA Tour professionals to commit to the RBC Heritage Presented By Boeing. They will play in the 45th annual event April 15 to 21 over the Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island.
Ishikawa has earned 12 international victories since turning pro in 2008. The Saltama, Japan native's best finish on the PGA Tour was second place at the 2012 Puerto Rico Open. A member of the Presidents Cup team in 2009 and in 2011, Ishikawa will be making his first start at the RBC Heritage.
Sterne holds the 49th spot in the World Golf Rankings. The South African, who has nine international victories, has competed at Harbour Town just once.
Woodland, who graduated from the University of Kansas and turned pro in 2007, will be teeing off at the RBC Heritage for the first time. His first and only win came in 2011 at the Transitions Championship.
