ONEflight International Joins Forces with Myrtle Beach for Exciting Golf Tournament
Golf enthusiasts, mark your calendars! The ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic is set to take place from May 8-11, 2025, at the stunning Dunes Golf and Beach Club in beautiful Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This partnership between ONEflight International, a Denver-based luxury private jet provider, and Visit Myrtle Beach is creating quite a buzz in the golf world.
A Promising Collaboration
The agreement, spanning three years, has been touted as a significant opportunity, with Darren Nelson, the tournament director, expressing enthusiasm about how ONEflight’s commitment aligns perfectly with the vision for an unforgettable tournament experience. The ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic is not just another event; it’s a 72-hole FedExCup Regular Season tournament, offering players 300 FedExCup points and solidifying Myrtle Beach’s spot on the PGA TOUR map.
Building on Success
Last year’s inaugural event made quite an impact. The Myrtle Beach Classic was met with enthusiastic attendance and an impressive economic contribution of $15.4 million to the local economy. Thanks to its success, the PGA TOUR even awarded it with the coveted “Best-In-Class Element” award, recognizing its place among the top ten tournaments. It’s safe to say, the bar has been set high!
Engagement and Community Connection
Part of the tournament’s charm lies in its commitment to engage players, fans, and the local community. With the aim of building excitement around the sport, the event will not only showcase stellar golfing talent but also offer activities that connect the Myrtle Beach community and visitors alike. The presence of spectators, especially with the anticipated national coverage from the Golf Channel, PGA TOUR LIVE, and ESPN+, will surely spotlight this vibrant location.
Stars on the Green
Adding to the allure, ONEflight has exciting plans up its sleeve, including luxurious hospitality services. Rumor has it that there might be celebrity participation in the pro-am events, with A-listers like Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell being considered. Imagine playing alongside your favorite stars while enjoying world-class golf! This unique experience sets the Myrtle Beach Classic apart from your everyday tournament.
A Lasting Impression
The tournament is not just about competition; it aims to foster a lasting impression in the sporting landscape. With discussions underway for a standalone designation for the event, organizers hope to elevate the Myrtle Beach Classic to match the prestige of respected venues like Pebble Beach on the East Coast.
Elevated Experience for Spectators
Expect more than just golf! The organizers are exploring enhanced offerings, including local food options and entertainment to elevate the spectator experience. This attention to every detail ensures that attendees not only watch golf but experience the energy and excitement of an engaging atmosphere.
Giving Back to the Community
It’s also heartwarming to note the tournament’s commitment to charity. In its inaugural year, it contributed $225,000 to nine local charities, showcasing that the event has a heart as well as a competitive spirit.
Looking Ahead
With 132 players competing in this significant tournament, and alongside the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links, Myrtle Beach is solidifying its status as a premier golf destination in South Carolina. The Myrtle Beach Classic is not one to miss, bringing together fun, competition, and community engagement all in one fabulous package.
