Four major events are at the heart of this momentum, drawing international attention and laying the groundwork for even greater milestones as we approach the precipice of the 100th anniversary of golf in Myrtle Beach in 2027.
The Dustin Johnson World Junior Golf Championship Presented by LA Golf enters its 10th year, and is set to take place Feb. 28 – March 2 at TPC Myrtle Beach. This already prestigious event promises to be something truly special in 2025. This year’s tournament includes a scheduled appearance by Charlie Woods, bringing additional star power and media attention. Woods’ participation is sure to bring an even brighter spotlight to an already high-profile competition, further showcasing Myrtle Beach as a proving ground for the next generation of elite golfers. This tournament not only highlights the talent of junior golfers from around the globe but also underscores Myrtle Beach’s commitment to nurturing the future of the sport. The event’s growing reputation cements its status as a can’t-miss stop on the junior golf circuit and a key highlight in the Myrtle Beach golf calendar.
Now in its second year, “The Q in Myrtle Beach” has already made waves as a unique and exciting PGA TOUR event qualifier. This tournament provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity for up-and-coming golfers, as well as popular YouTube influencer golfers, to compete for a coveted spot in the Myrtle Beach Classic. This innovative event bridges the gap between traditional golf and a new wave of digital-first players and fans, reflecting the evolution of the sport. “The Q” has quickly become a modern-day golf enthusiast’s favorite, injecting fresh energy into the game while embracing the digital and social media-driven culture of today’s golf audience.
The Myrtle Beach Classic returns for its second year, already carving out its own PGA TOUR niche as a tournament where golf’s rising stars and seasoned pros collide. Held at one of Myrtle Beach’s most iconic courses, The Dunes Golf & Beach Club, this event offers an unparalleled showcase of talent, drama, and excitement. In its 2024 debut, the Myrtle Beach Classic quickly demonstrated its potential to become a marquee event, already earning accolades for innovative promotional elements as the TOUR recently bestowed its annual “Best in Class Element” award last month. The 2025 edition promises even more thrilling competition and memorable moments.
