During Saturday’s third-round coverage of the 2023 RBC Heritage, a CBS camera zeroed in on a large airplane making its way toward Harbour Town Golf Links.
As the plane flew closer, it was revealed to be a Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner, painted white with green letters spelling out EVA Air, a Taipei-based airline that serves Asia and Europe as well as North America.
The plane started dipping its wings from right to left as it flew over the 18th hole. PGA Tour golfers and fans alike paused to look up.
