2025 Myrtle Beach Classic odds and top bets explored ft. Tom Kim

The 2025 Myrtle Beach Classic is set to begin on Thursday, May 8, at The Dunes Golf & Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The event, being played opposite to the Truist Championship this week, will see 132 players compete for the $4,000,000 prize purse. World No.41 Tom Kim headlines the contest’s field, however, is beaten on the odds list by Mackenzie Hughes.

It is also pertinent to note that the Myrtle Beach Classic falls a week ahead of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. Owing to this, several players who missed out on the Truist Championship’s 72-man field have signed up for the alternate event. While Hughes enters the competition with 20-1 odds, Kim joins with 22-1 odds, according to SportsLine.

The duo, both of whom failed to make the CJ Cup Byron Nelson cut last weekend, are the outright favorites. Hughes’ T3 finish at the RBC Heritage and solo-tenth place at the Houston Open gives him an upper hand amongst them.
