Myrtle Beach to Host First-Ever PGA Tour Event in May 2024: What Locals Need to Know

The Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) Tour is scheduled to take place in Myrtle Beach for the first time. The Myrtle Beach Classic is set from May 9th to 12th, 2024, starting on May 6th at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club. The Dunes, a top 100 golf course, is known for its scenic location along the Atlantic Ocean. It was designed by architect Robert Trent Jones and has a history of 75 years.

The Dunes Golf and Beach Club has hosted several golf tournaments, including the PGA Senior Tour (now The Champions Tour) and the USGA Women’s Open. The 18-hole, 7425 yards par 72 golf course will likely be a par 70 for the tournament. The Myrtle Beach Classic will host 120 players and includes a qualifying tournament named The Q at Myrtle Beach. The winner of this tournament will get a sponsor exemption into the Tour event.

The Q at Myrtle Beach, a 16 player, 18-hole event, occurred on March 4th at the TPC Myrtle Beach golf club. The participants included eight YouTube golf content creators, all with a USGA handicap of 0.0 or better. The event was not open to the public, but a video revealing the winner will be posted on Play Golf Myrtle Beach’s YouTube page on April 23rd.

The Myrtle Beach Classic is a PGA Tour event sponsored by Visit Myrtle Beach. It aims to promote the Grand Strand and support the local area. Nine local charities will receive a grant of $225,000. Tickets for daily and weekly admission, as well as Club 18 Shared Hospitality options, can be purchased online at myrtlebeachclassic.com. Children aged 15 and younger can enter free with an adult ticket holder.

The Myrtle Beach Classic is anticipated to be a significant event for golf fans and the local community. The event will occur during the peak golf season in Myrtle Beach, with temperatures up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Visitors can plan a golf trip with family or friends while watching top players compete.
