You had me at “Burger.’’ Or maybe it was “Sea Pines Resort.’’ Either way, The Sea Pines Resort’s Fraser’s Tavern has introduced the 2025 edition of the “Defending Champion Burger,” from Justin Thomas.
Justin Thomas, who won in a playoff against Andrew Novak to capture the 2025 RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing, and his victory l16th PGA Tour title, designed his own special combination:
- Patty: Custom House Blend of Short Rib Brisket, Chuck and Short Rib
- Bun: Toasted Hearth Baked Sesame Seed Bun
- Add-ons: Crispy Applewood Bacon, Smashed Avocado, Fried Egg
- Cheese: Pepper Jack Cheese
- Sauce: Southwestern Aioli
The Justin Thomas Defending Champion Burger is one of six new burgers on the Fraser’s Tavern menu. Part of the proceeds of the sale of each burger go to a charity supported by the Heritage Classic Foundation. Fraser’s Tavern is named in honor of Sea Pines Resort Founder Charles Fraser.
The 2026 RBC Heritage presented by Boeing will be played April 13-19 over the newly restored Harbour Town Golf Links.
Located on the southernmost tip of Hilton Head Island, the legendary Lowcountry destination features five miles of unspoiled beaches, 20 clay tennis courts, 14 miles of bike and walking trails, horseback riding, Eco-Adventures, water sports, and the 605-acre Sea Pines Forest Preserve filled with wildflowers, wetlands, and more than 130 species of birds.
As the first Eco-planned destination in the U.S., The Sea Pines Resort has become the blueprint for numerous beach developments around the country. Guests can choose from an array of accommodations, including 300 villas, 100 rental homes, and the luxurious 60-room Inn & Club at Harbour Town, a Forbes Four-Star boutique hotel and Preferred Hotel Group member.
