Myrtle Beach to Host 2026 ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic
The 2026 ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic is set to take place from May 7 to May 10, 2026, at the renowned Dunes Golf and Beach Club.

Last year’s champion, Ryan Fox, secured his victory during a thrilling three-way playoff against players Harry Higgs and Mackenzie Hughes, thanks to a dramatic chip-in shot. The winner of the Myrtle Beach Classic is particularly incentivized, as they will earn a coveted spot in the PGA Championship, which is scheduled for May 14-17, 2026, at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

The tournament organizers aim to not only ensure a successful event this year but also express aspirations to extend its longevity beyond the current four-year agreement with the PGA Tour.
Ticketing and hospitality options will be announced in the upcoming months. In a sign of appreciation for those who serve the community, both active and retired military personnel, as well as first responders, will receive two free tickets to the Wednesday practice round. Furthermore, these individuals can purchase an additional two tickets per day at a 25% discount for the days of Thursday through Sunday of the tournament.
Families will also enjoy special access, as children aged 15 and younger can attend for free when accompanied by a paying ticket holder. This initiative is part of the tournament’s efforts to attract diverse audiences and create an inclusive environment for all visitors.
