The first of Barstool Sports‘ 25 golf events nationwide in the 2022 Barstool Classic teed off March 21 at the Grande Dunes Resort Course in Myrtle Beach, as sunny skies and ideal playing conditions welcomed a sold-out field.
The Barstool Classic at Grande Dunes was the first of many opportunities Barstool’s legion of avid golfers will have to interact with the Grand Strand golf community.
As part of a program that will run through November 2022, Golf Tourism Solutions (the agency responsible for promoting Myrtle Beach as a golf destination, and the proprietor of PlayGolfMyrtleBeach.com) has ensured the Grand Strand will be exposed to the Barstool audience in a variety of ways. The partnership will include live spots on Fore Play, Barstool’s ever-popular golf podcast, and a presence on the brand’s social media channels, in addition to sponsoring video content throughout the year.
One of the highlights of the agreement is the Fore Play Travel Series coming to Myrtle Beach, allowing Barstool’s team – Trent, Riggs, Frankie and Lurch – to enjoy the great times of a Myrtle Beach golf trip on and off the course.
The Barstool golf franchise has enjoyed a meteoric rise in popularity on the strength of the Fore Play podcast, an engaging, irreverent look at the game through the eyes of regular golfers. Many of golf’s biggest names have appeared on Fore Play, reaching a younger, yet no less passionate, audience.
