The Myrtle Beach Classic will be one of two stops in ‘The Palmetto State’ for the PGA Tour in 2024 along with the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links, an event that made its debut in 1969.

“Visit Myrtle Beach and our partners at Golf Tourism Solutions are looking forward to working with the SPORTFIVE team to make the inaugural Myrtle Beach Classic a world-class tournament,” said Karen Riordan, Visit Myrtle Beach President and Chief Executive Officer. “The level of experience that its Golf Events division brings to this event is phenomenal and will surely add to the prestige that our golfing destination embodies.”
