The Savannah, Georgia native finished the tournament tied for 12^th.

The 34-year-old will be making his fifth start at Harbour Town after finishing tied for third in 2019 and tied for ninth in 2021.

Walker has competed at the RBC Heritage just four times since turning pro in 2001. The Baylor University graduate has carded six victories on the PGA TOUR including the 2016 TOUR Championship where his opening round scores of 65-66 at Baltusrol were good enough to tie the lowest opening 36-hold score in the tournament’s history.
