How This Works

As part of the TRANSFORM Support Hub , you will learn how to advance your career while getting hands on experience with organizations like this one.

Organization Details

MEJDI Tours is a social enterprise travel company that specializes in creating custom, socially conscious itineraries for groups.  We are the pioneer of the extremely popular ‘dual narrative’ tours in Israel and Palestine.  We're a certified B Corp, operator of National Geographic's Holy Land Expedition, and are featured in the TED Talk, For more tolerance, we need more ... tourism? .  We operate tours in over 20 destinations including Colombia, Northern Ireland, and Japan.  We are a leading name in affinity group travel and soon to be a leader in socially responsible scheduled departures and day tours.

We’ve surveyed 1000s of travelers after our trips not only on how much they enjoyed the experience, but also whether or not their attitudes and perceptions of the people they met changed as a result of the MEJDI trip.  From the Holy Land to Cuba to Bosnia to Japan and everywhere in between, the resounding the answer is yes (over 80%!)

Impact Story

MEJDI was founded to create a more positive and interconnected world through travel.  We're on a mission to tear down the walls that divide people globally and locally.  In order to actualize this vision, we will become the leader in socially conscious travel. 

MEJDI Impact:

11 million dollars invested in local economies since 2010

Over 600k in local non profits and cultural activists not typically involved in tourism supply chain

3.5 million in locally owned hotels and home stays

500k locally owned restaurants

Over 200 guides in 14 countries trained in our multi-narrative approach

Hundreds of organizations and local cultural actors invited into the tourism supply chain and paid a fair wage

10s of million of people have seen there are real, positive examples of Israelis, Palestinians, Arabs, Jews, Muslims, Irish Catholics and Protestants, and dozens of other ethnic and national groups working together for a shared positive future (through media, NG and TED partnerships).

Our work has been covered by dozens of National and international news outlets such as CNN, Jerusalem Post, Al Jazeera, French Canal TV.

We’ve been awarded for our work and/or partner with National Geographic Expeditions, TED, United Nations World Tourism Organization, United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, Fetzer Foundation, BMW Group, and others.

Inspired ‘copycat’ organizations focusing on both multi-narrative and positive supply chain impact travel from Columbia to the Holy Land

We’ve spent 15,000 on carbon offsets since 2012.

Operated over 250 groups over approximately 5000 people in 14 different countries

As a result of our tours, over 80% of our travelers surveyed reported changing their attitudes and perceptions towards people they previously considered "other."

  • 1. Some types of businesses, like tourism, are ready-made for fostering interfaith understanding, religious freedom and peace.
  • 2. Business has unique solutions for some situations – such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict – which seem to present insurmountable challenges for interfaith understanding, religious freedom and peace.
  • 3. Hard experiences and difficulties can be the inspiration for impactful new businesses.
  • 4. Customers are interested in business with a social mission that involves them.

Main Category of Action

Core business

Championing interfaith understanding and peace through a company’s core business operations, including internal procedures, human resources hiring practices, training, product/service development, sourcing policies, supply chains, as well as the development of products and services that promote interfaith understanding and peace.

Aziz and Cooper’s Story

mejdi day tours

Aziz Abu Sarah and Scott Cooper like to joke that they met on JDate, the Jewish-oriented dating service.

They did not. But the joke is typical of these two men who are friends, business partners and, above all, peacemakers.

They met at a peace-building event in New York City in 2009 and quickly realized that even though Abu Sarah is Muslim and from Palestine, and Cooper is Jewish and from Indiana, they shared a vision of how interpersonal relationships across cultures, like theirs, could change the world.

In 2013, Abu Sarah and Cooper started Mejdi Tours, a tour company with a purpose — to expose tourists in age-old conflict areas to what they call “dual narratives” by bringing them together with tour guides from different sides of the conflict. The first tours were to Israel and Palestine, and the company has since expanded to Egypt, Jordan, Turkey and Ireland.

“You can create a paradigm shift in peace through tourism by offering access to both communities,” Abu Sarah said from his home in Washington, D.C. “They get exposed to all kinds of issues – art, food, politics, religion. Mejdi bridges the gap between going somewhere and seeing stones laid 2,000 years ago and making connections between 2,000 years ago and today.”

Cooper — with his typical concision, put it like this: “Mejdi connects people across barriers.”

The two men, both 36, are familiar with conflict. When Abu Sarah was a child in Palestine, Israeli officials arrested his 18-year-old brother for throwing stones at them. While in custody, he was beaten and died of his wounds.

Abu Sarah became an angry young man, and he, too, wanted to throw rocks, to strike out. But he chose another path. “I decided it doesn’t matter what happens to me,” he said. “What really matters is how I deal with it. So I decided to dedicate my life to bringing down the walls that separate people.”

Cooper visited Abu Sarah’s family and the experience changed him. “I sat in Aziz’s house in the same bedroom he shared with his brother and I saw what his brother’s death did to him,” he said. “I have seen what he did with that tragedy, using it as mission to connect people. Prophets do things like that.”

Abu Sarah is a Muslim who has spent time in Bible college, and Cooper considers himself culturally Jewish. But he sees Mejdi Tours as a mission. “It might not be traditional, religious, dogmatic activity, but I see what we are doing as spiritual work,” Cooper said. “When your child hurts, my child hurts.” Then he said something that might be Mejdi’s motto: “We are all in this together.”

But while Mejdi takes tourists to beautiful places, it provides Cooper and Abu Sarah the financial means to travel to places such as Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, where they work on peace building among refugees.

“We see Mejdi as an avenue for us to make those kinds of projects viable,” Abu Sarah said. “We cannot take Mejdi to those places, but we can go there ourselves and be involved.

“Mejdi is a vehicle, not the destination,” Cooper said. “And in my opinion it is too small of a vehicle right now. There is not enough change that is happening, so it is a vehicle we plan to enlarge. We are driven to create social change as our life mission.”

Summary of Case

In many Middle Eastern countries, social and political tensions have spurred violence and unrest along religious and cultural lines.

Each group within this struggle has a different narrative and understanding of what has led to the current cultural landscape and conflict. Aziz Abu Sarah and Scott Cooper, co-CEOs and Founders of MEJDI Tours, recognize that allowing people to tell their story is a first step in fostering peace and cultural understanding.

In Israel, for example, their “Dual Narrative” approach allows Israeli and Palestinian tour guides to offer varying perspectives on culture, religion, and politics at each location .

TED Talk: Aziz Abu Sarah

MEJDI co-founder and 2014 TED Fellow, Aziz Abu Sarah, gave this TED talk in March 2014. Aziz is a Palestinian activist with an unusual approach to peace-keeping: Be a tourist. The TED Fellow shows how simple interactions with people in different cultures can erode decades of hate.

“Imagine with me if the one billion people who travel internationally every year travel like this, not being taken in the bus from one side to another, from one hotel to another, taking pictures from the windows of their buses of people and cultures, but, ” Aziz Abu Sarah says, “actually connecting with people.”

Introduction to Israel

History* and economy**.

Following World War II, Britain withdrew from its mandate of Palestine, and the UN proposed partitioning the area into Arab and Jewish states, an arrangement rejected by the Arabs. Nonetheless, an Israeli state was declared in 1948, and Israel subsequently defeated the Arab armies in a series of wars that did not end deep tensions between the two sides. (The territories Israel has occupied since the 1967 war are not included in this Israel country profile.) On 25 April 1982, Israel withdrew from the Sinai Peninsula pursuant to the 1979 Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty.

In keeping with the framework established at the Madrid Conference in October 1991, Israel conducted bilateral negotiations with Palestinian representatives and Syria to achieve a permanent settlement with each. Israel and Palestinian officials on 13 September 1993 signed a Declaration of Principles (also known as the “Oslo Accords”), enshrining the idea of a two-state solution to their conflict and guiding an interim period of Palestinian self-rule. The parties achieved six additional significant interim agreements between 1994 and 1999 aimed at creating the conditions for a two-state solution, but most were never fully realized. Outstanding territorial and other disputes with Jordan were resolved in the 26 October 1994 Israel-Jordan Peace Treaty.

Progress toward a final status agreement with the Palestinians was undermined by Israeli-Palestinian violence between 2001 and February 2005. Israel in 2005 unilaterally disengaged from the Gaza Strip, evacuating settlers and its military while retaining control over most points of entry into the Gaza Strip. The election of HAMAS to head the Palestinian Legislative Council in 2006 temporarily froze relations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA). Israel engaged in a 34-day conflict with Hizballah in Lebanon from July-August 2006 and a 23-day conflict with HAMAS in the Gaza Strip from December 2008-January 2009. In November 2012, Israel engaged in a seven-day conflict with HAMAS in the Gaza Strip. Direct talks with the Palestinians most recently launched in July 2013 but were suspended in April 2014. The talks represented the fourth concerted effort to resolve final status issues between the sides since they were first discussed at Camp David in 2000. Three months later HAMAS and other militant groups launched rockets into Israel, which led to a 51-day conflict between Israel and militants in Gaza.

Israel has a technologically advanced free market economy. Cut diamonds, high-technology equipment, and pharmaceuticals are among its leading exports. Its major imports include crude oil, grains, raw materials, and military equipment. Israel usually posts sizable trade deficits, which are covered by tourism and other service exports, as well as significant foreign investment inflows.

Between 2004 and 2013, growth averaged nearly 5% per year, led by exports. The global financial crisis of 2008-09 spurred a brief recession in Israel, but the country entered the crisis with solid fundamentals, following years of prudent fiscal policy and a resilient banking sector. Israel’s economy also weathered the 2011 Arab Spring because strong trade ties outside the Middle East have insulated the economy from spillover effects.

Slowing domestic and international demand and decreased investment resulting from Israel’s uncertain security situation reduced GDP growth to an average of roughly 2.6% per year during 2014-15. Natural gas fields discovered off Israel’s coast since 2009 have brightened Israel’s energy security outlook. The Tamar and Leviathan fields were some of the world’s largest offshore natural gas finds in the last decade. Political and regulatory issues have delayed the development of the massive Leviathan field, but production from Tamar provided a 0.8% boost to Israel’s GDP in 2013 and a 0.3% boost in 2014. One of the most carbon intense OECD countries, Israel generates about 57% of its power from coal and only 2.6% from renewable sources.

Income inequality and high housing and commodity prices continue to be a concern for many Israelis. Israel’s income inequality and poverty rates are among the highest of OECD countries, and there is a broad perception among the public that a small number of “tycoons” have a cartel-like grip over the major parts of the economy. Government officials have called for reforms to boost the housing supply and to increase competition in the banking sector to address these public grievances. Despite calls for reforms, the restricted housing supply continues to impact the well-being of younger Israelis seeking to purchase homes. Tariffs and non-tariff barriers, coupled with guaranteed prices and customs tariffs for farmers have kept food prices high through 2015.

In the long term, Israel faces structural issues, including low labor participation rates for its fastest growing social segments – the ultraorthodox and Arab-Israeli communities. Also, Israel’s progressive, globally competitive, knowledge-based technology sector employs only about 8% of the workforce, with the rest mostly employed in manufacturing and services – sectors which face downward wage pressures from global competition. Expenditures on educational institutions remain low compared to most other OECD countries with similar GDP per capita.

Some helpful background on the conflict in Israel and Palestine: Author John Green teaches a crash course on conflict in Israel and Palestine. This conflict is often cast as a long-term beef going back thousands of years, and rooted in a clash between religions. Well, John shows that’s not quite true. What is true is that the conflict is immensely complicated, and just about everyone in the world has an opinion about it. John triess to get the facts across in under 13 minutes.

Religious Demographics

According to Pew research (see chart), Jewish adherents account for three-in-four (75.6%) of Israel’s population, while nearly one-in-five (18.6%) of the population is Muslim. About 3% of Israel’s population are unaffiliated, with 2% being Christian. Buddhists, Hindus and folk religions each respectively represent less than 1% of the population.

mejdi day tours

According to Pew Research data, out of a population of 7,420,000 in 2010, 5,610,000 Israelis identified as Jews, with an expected growth to 7 million in 2030. Muslims represented 1,380,000 adherents in 2010, with an expected growth to 2,120,000 in 2030, while those who identify as unaffiliated for the same years, were 230,000, expected to grow to 300,000. The median age for Jews and Christians is 32, while that for Muslims is 21. The Muslim population has the highest fertility rate at 3.4, with the Jewish community at 2.8 and Christians at 2.

Conflict and Violence Related to Religion

“Israel is a parliamentary democracy with a stable domestic environment. Nonetheless, the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians is unresolved, and the risk of politically motivated violence and terrorism continues. The threat of rocket fire from Gaza reached a crescendo in the summer of 2014. Hamas and other jihadist groups in Gaza launched 4,600 rockets at Israeli territory. The Iron Dome defense system intercepted virtually all of these that were aimed at populated areas, but there were frequent alarms requiring persons to move to shelter. Following a rocket landing in the area of Ben Gurion Airport, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration issued a Notice to Airmen warning and a number of international air carriers, including three U.S. carriers, cancelled flights over a 36-hour period. Heightened tensions with Iran due to concerns over Tehran’s nuclear program and its support for terrorism also present the potential for regional conflict. Israel’s borders with Lebanon and Syria are closed, but instability in Syria and threats from the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah in Lebanon also present some risk of violent incidents or conflict. Israel signed peace treaties with Egypt (1979) and Jordan (1994).”**

As shown in the Pew Research chart below, the global median score for social hostilities involving religion is 2.4 on a 10-point scale, where 10 is high. Israel’s rating is 9.0, meaning it has very high social hostilities involving religion. The global median score for governmental restrictions on religious freedom is 3.1. Israel has high governmental restrictions on religion with a score of 5.6.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

Scottie. scheffler. oh, and much more from saturday at the rbc heritage 2024, share this article.

mejdi day tours

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Scottie Scheffler is atop the leaderboard after 54 holes.This time, it’s at the 2024 RBC Heritage, a PGA Tour signature event, at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, South Carolina, where Scheffler posted masterful 8-under 63.

The world No. 1 gained over three shots on the field with his approach play Saturday, and poured in a few lengthy birdie attempts, including a near 40-footer at the short par-4 ninth.

Sepp Straka is Scheffler’s closest competitor, sitting just one shot back at 15 under thanks to a beautiful birdie on the iconic par-4 18th. The Austrian’s last win came at the John Deere Classic – the “fifth major” – in 2023.

Big names are scattered all over the leaderboard: Collin Morikawa (14 under, two back), Ludvig Aberg (13 under, three back), Sahith Theegala (13 under, three back), Patrick Cantlay (12 under, four back), Rory McIlroy (10 under, six back) and Xander Schauffele (10 under, six back).

Scheffler will have his hands full holding off that charging pack.

If you missed any of Saturday’s action, no worries, we have you covered. Here’s everything you need to know from the third round of the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links.

Scottie Scheffler — that's all we gotta say

So we’re really doing this again, huh?

Scheffler has won three of his last four starts, including last week’s Masters where he slipped on the Green Jacket for the second time in three years.

What may be most impressive about his performance in South Carolina is how much different Augusta National and Harbour Town are. Augusta is a big ballpark that requires patience. Harbour Town prioritizes accuracy over everything and chasing birdies on almost every hole is a necessity. No matter what the course calls for, Scheffler can deliver the goods.

On Saturday, the world No.1 made eight birdies and no bogeys for a stellar 63. It’s his 39th consecutive round under par, second-most since 1983 and second only to Tiger Woods, who had 52 from in 2000-2001.

“Going into tomorrow, I should be close to the lead if not in the lead. We’ll see where everything shakes out. The guys behind me still have some holes to play, but we’ll see, either way I’ll be in a decent position going into tomorrow,” Scheffler said after his round.

“Just looking to go out and get off to a good start. This golf course, you can shoot some low scores if you’re hitting it well and placing the ball in the right air with a, so that’s what I’m going to try and do tomorrow.”

With a win, Scheffler would become the second player to ever win the Masters and RBC Heritage in back-to-back weeks (Bernhard Langer, 1985).

He leads by one shot with 18 holes to play.

Collin Morikawa is back. Officially

On Friday, I wrote that Collin Morikawa might be back after a few tough years on the golf course. Well, it sure looks like he’s returned.

After a 65 and 66 to open his week, Morikawa posted a 3-under 68 on Moving Day and is two shots back of Scheffler heading into the final round.

The Cal product played consistent golf all day long, pouring in birdies on Nos. 5, 9 and 12 before trading a birdie for a bogey on Nos. 15 and 16.

“This is how I feel like I used to play,” Morikawa told the media after signing his card. “That’s what’s great is that you just find a way to score and you find a way to keep yourself near the lead. Webb Simpson told me early on in my career, ‘if you just have a chance with nine holes to go or 18 holes on a Sunday, you’ve done a lot of the work needed.’ Tomorrow is just all about committing to your shots and just remembering that, staying in your own head, not trying to play anyone else’s golf.”

Thanks to Sepp Straka’s birdie on 18, Morikawa will tee off in the penultimate group Sunday.

The kid is special

Ludvig Aberg is a stud.

Since making his professional debut at the RBC Canadian Open in June of last year, he’s finished inside the top 25 an amazing 15 times. He won the RSM Classic in November. He represented Europe in the Ryder Cup in Rome. He finished solo second at the Masters in his first major championship start.

And now, the Swede is in position to earn his first victory at a signature event.

Aberg made four birdies and a bogey on Saturday, signing for a 3-under 68 and enters the final round of the RBC Heritage three back of Scheffler.

“I think we’re all expecting (Scheffler) to be there with the way that he’s been playing,” Aberg said. “I think we all expect him to play well, and there’s nothing I can do about it. All I try to do is focus on myself and make sure that I hit the shots the way I want to and then see where that takes me.”

The 24-year-old wasn’t able to chase down the world’s best player at Augusta, but maybe he can at Harbour Town.

Is Rory McIlroy finding his swing?

It’s no secret that this season hasn’t gone to plan for Rory McIlroy, the second-ranked golfer in the world. He has just one top-10 finish which came a few weeks ago at the Valero Texas Open. After a disappointing week at Augusta National, it was hard to predict what we would see from the four-time major champion in Hilton Head.

Well, it seems like he’s finding a groove.

After a quick visit with Butch Harmon, McIlroy looks to have found a few swing feels and was passing through the golf ball beautifully – for the most part – on Saturday.

He opened with rounds of 67-68, and on Day 3 posted another 3-under 68 thanks to six birdies and three bogeys.

What Taylor Swift's new album means for her $1 billion fortune

  • Taylor Swift's new album, " The Tortured Poets Department ," is almost guaranteed to be a bestseller. 
  • But no matter how well it does, it won't be the way Swift earns most of her money this year.
  • The remaining leg of her Eras Tour is expected to add much more to Swift's billion-dollar fortune.

Insider Today

Taylor Swift released her new album, " The Tortured Poets Department ," at midnight, and, in what should be no surprise to anyone on this planet in the year 2024, it caused a scene.

Her album garnered millions of streams within hours. There's almost no doubt it'll top the Billboard chart like the 13 Swift albums before it.

But no matter how many platinum certifications it collects or streams it racks up on Spotify, "The Tortured Poets Department" won't be Swift's biggest money-maker this year.

The remaining leg of her Eras Tour — kicking off in Paris next month and running through December — is instead expected to be what contributes most to her fortune, which Bloomberg estimated to be $1.1 billion last year.

"Live music is the engine of the global music business," Clayton Durant, an adjunct professor at NYU Steinhardt's Music Business Program who's the founder of CAD Management, told Business Insider. "Her tour is probably going to earn 10 to 15 times more than her streaming."

Swift's Eras Tour brought in more than $1 billion in ticket sales last year over its 66 dates. By the end of this year, she's set to have played another 86. Swift's cut is unknown, but based on industry standards, she'll surely earn nine figures in 2024 from ticket sales.

Concerts don't only bring in money from ticket sales.

Pollstar estimates that Swifties spend an average of $40 a head on merch at her concerts — that adds up to about $175 million in gross merch sales last year. Swift's camp keeps the majority of that.

Bloomberg estimated that between box office and merchandise, Swift pocketed $225 million, pre-tax, from her first 57 Eras Tour dates. Career earnings from ticket sales and merchandise account for 34% of her total net worth, while earnings from music streaming and sales account for 18%, Bloomberg estimates.

Swift isn't alone in making money on the road.

In 2021, the last year Billboard made a list of music's top earners, seven out of the 10 top money makers earned more than half of their income from touring.

But the music industry didn't always function this way. Before the advent of streaming, musicians made most of their fortune selling CDs, cassette tapes, and vinyl records .

"Physical music sales made up the bulk of artists' revenue pre-streaming, and that revenue was what enabled artists to tour. These days, the equation has flipped," Tatiana Cirisano, a senior music-industry analyst at MIDiA, told BI over email.

Streaming made listening to recorded music much cheaper. For less than the price of one CD — or for free, illegally or with ads — people could get all the songs they wanted.

"The moment Napster hit, it changed the paradigm, and it really honestly diluted the value of music," Durant said.

To be sure, Swift is still making tens of millions, if not more, on streaming and record sales each year — more than almost any other artist on the planet.

Streaming services such as Spotify pay out artists on a pro-rata model: There's a pot, made up of subscription and ad revenue, paid out to artists each year. Those with the biggest share of the platform's total streams get the biggest piece of it.

But "if you're an individual artist, you have to have a pretty massive audience to be able to earn a meaningful share of that revenue — which is paid out to you after your label gets its cut," Cirisano said.

Last year, Swift was the most streamed artist on both Apple and Spotify. One of every 78 songs streamed in the US last year was a Swift song, according to the music-data firm Luminate. She'll probably rank at or near the top again, between " The Tortured Poets Department " and a streaming lift from the second leg of her Eras Tour.

Swift is also set to earn more than most artists from physical music sales. Last year, she was responsible for one out of every 15 vinyl records sold, according to Luminate. Cirisano said Swift's rabid followers saw physical records as "a symbol of fandom" and a way to support Swift.

That said, without Eras, Swift would just be a poor centimillionaire.

2024 RBC Heritage live stream, watch online, TV schedule, channel, tee times, radio, golf coverage

There is no rest for the weary with a signature event on tap this week on the pga tour.

rbc-heritage-signage-2023-g.jpg

Players make the short trip from Augusta, Georgia, to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, for this week's 2024 RBC Heritage. In total, 69 golfers will tee it up on Harbour Town Golf Links across the first two days as yet another signature event on the PGA Tour's playing calendar gets underway.

Unlike the Genesis Invitational or Arnold Palmer Invitational, the RBC Heritage will not feature a 36-hole cut, meaning the entirety of the field will be around for the weekend. That is music to the ears to those who missed out on the weekend action at the Masters, including the likes of Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Wyndham Clark and Brian Harman.

Spieth, the 2022 champion, looks to kickstart his season after a disappointing showing at Augusta National. He is no stranger to bouncing back at the RBC Heritage; he followed a missed cut at the year's first major championship with a win a week later in Hilton Head.

If Spieth is to return to the winner's circle, he will have to go through Scottie Scheffler. The world No. 1 remains in the field for now and aims to collect his fourth trophy in his last five tournaments. Fresh off slipping on his second green jacket, Scheffler has widened the gap between him and the rest of the world and shows no signs of slowing down.

Tommy Fleetwood, Collin Morikawa Xander Schauffele, Ludvig Åberg, Will Zalatoris and Max Homa were among those to perform well at the Masters, and they hope that translates to more of the same. Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay and defending champion Matt Fitzpatrick will look for some form. In total, 26 of the top 30 players in the Official World Golf Rankings are set to play.
