MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — ONEflight International is out as a title sponsor of the Myrtle Beach Classic, but Visit Myrtle Beach says the PGA Tour stop will still tee off May 13-16, 2027, at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club.
The Colorado luxury travel firm paused flights in September and now faces multiple federal fraud lawsuits. Tournament operators say those troubles will not shrink the purse or stall planning for next spring.

Visit Myrtle Beach, the chamber tourism arm that had shared the title with ONEflight, will stay on as a sponsor. Sportfive, which runs the event, named Grand Strand golf executive Steve Mays as the new tournament director to handle planning and growth.
Organizers say last year’s Classic drew about 40,000 fans and nearly $16 million in estimated economic impact. Mays said celebrity pro-am plans remain and that finding a new title partner is still early.
No. Visit Myrtle Beach says it will continue May 13-16, 2027, at The Dunes.
Why was ONEflight dropped?
The company shut down flights and faces federal fraud lawsuits.
Who is the new director?
Steve Mays, a longtime Grand Strand golf and tourism executive.
