The RBC Heritage PGA Tour event includes a renowned "Sir William Innes" trophy for its winners designed by Malcolm DeMille.

It has a 16-inch polished bronze sculpture standing on a walnut base with the tournament's name and year.

The process of designing unique trophies takes months because they are manufactured by hand. For almost three decades, DeMille has been creating the trophy.

The owner of Malcolm DeMille said via KSBY about the RBC Heritage trophy:

"Everything we do is handmade. We've got some great people back there who do some superb finishing work and make a beautiful piece of art that's used as a trophy."

#2 BMW Championship Trophy

Malcolm DeMille also created the Farmers Insurance Open trophy. The award is a lifelike bronze cast of Torrey pines that pays homage to the surrounding landscape. It depicts endangered Torrey trees rising over cliffs near coastal areas as these trees grow near the central coastal area of San Diego and California.

The Farmers Insurance Open winner also receives a surfboard trophy designed by Hansen Surfboards in Encinitas and shaped by Craig Hollingsworth.

However, no winner event has taken home the surfboard. Instead, they have stated that they will take it after they retire from their professional careers and surf with it.
