The Myrtle Beach Classic will mark both the first-ever PGA Tour event in Myrtle Beach's history and the Grand Strand's first official major tournament in the previous 24 years. The Dunes Golf & Beach Club, a championship golf course renowned for its beauty along the Atlantic Ocean, will host the event in 2024 from May 6 to May 12.
The "Golf Capital of the World" has long been a well-known title for Myrtle Beach. This assertion is supported by the Myrtle Beach Classic, which combines global recognition and popularity as America's preferred golf travel destination with the honor of serving as the site of a professional golf tournament on the world's top circuit.
Myrtle Beach Classic History
Early in 2023, news of a new PGA Tour event—the first for Myrtle Beach—was released. The Dunes Beach & Golf Club on South Carolina's Grand Strand will host the inaugural Myrtle Beach Classic in 2024. The $3.9 million purse for the event, which is kindly sponsored by Visit Myrtle Beach, will be paid to the winner along with 300 FedExCup points.
The PGA Tour's 2024 FedExCup regular season is expected to feature the Myrtle Beach Classic as a major event. The Myrtle Beach Classic will be hosted by the PGA Tour for at least the next four years.
