Myrtle Beach Classic Makes Historic Debut on PGA Tour

Golf enthusiasts, get ready to mark your calendars! This coming May 8-11, 2025, the stunning coastal city of Myrtle Beach will host its first-ever PGA Tour event, the inaugural Myrtle Beach Classic. Known as ‘The Golf Capital of the World’, this amazing tournament is set to take place at the scenic Dunes Golf and Beach Club, a gem in the golfing community.

About the Dunes Golf and Beach Club

Designed by renowned architect Robert Trent Jones, the Dunes Golf and Beach Club is no stranger to accolades. It’s proudly ranked among the Top 100 Courses in the USA by Golf World. Golfers will be challenged by its stunning layout, including the famous 590-yard par 5, affectionately known as ‘Boomerang’. The beauty of the course, combined with its historical significance, promises to make this classic one for the books!

What to Expect at the Tournament

The Myrtle Beach Classic is not just another tournament on the PGA Tour calendar. It’s the third of five opposite-field events for the 2024 season and is eagerly anticipated by fans and players alike. With a total purse of $4 million, it’s enough to draw some serious competition. Expect to see talented golfers vying for victory, including 38 PGA Tour winners such as Billy Horschel, Brandt Snedeker, and Erik van Rooyen. The excitement escalates as the winner walks away with 300 FedExCup points.

Broadcast and Sponsorship

For golf fans who can’t be there in person, Golf Channel will broadcast the event throughout the tournament week, bringing the action straight to living rooms. What’s more, ONEflight International, a premier private jet service, has signed on as a co-title sponsor for the next three years, further solidifying this tournament’s wealthy future.

Enhancing the Fan Experience

The Myrtle Beach Classic aims to be more than just a tournament; it’s a celebration of golf and community. Local organizers are focused on enhancing the overall experience for fans, with improved food options and entertainment. In fact, last year’s event drew over 40,000 fans, a clear indicator of the tournament’s popularity! You can expect an array of family-friendly activities during the tournament, including a kids zone and mini golf, making it a perfect outing for the whole family.

A Community Affair

The local community is encouraged to get involved, attend the event, and experience the unique Myrtle Beach atmosphere. Ticket sales kicked off in November and are already selling quickly, with some hospitality suite options completely sold out! The buzz in the air is palpable, and it’s all about bringing the best of golf to this picturesque coastal paradise.

Looking Forward

There’s a lot of excitement surrounding this milestone event. With just about 13 months to prepare, the team at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club has worked tirelessly to ensure everything is in top-notch condition. Feedback from players has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly about the course’s quality and conditions.

Looking ahead, tournament organizers are planning to bring back concerts and entertainment for attendees in 2025, enhancing the festival-like atmosphere. Future conversations are already underway regarding the event’s potential to become a recurring feature on the PGA Tour schedule after its debut.

As we approach this historic debut, excitement is brewing, and the Myrtle Beach Classic is sure to be an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. So grab your clubs, gather your friends and family, and prepare to enjoy a golf tournament that promises to deliver lasting memories and spectacular golf!
