Get Ready for Myrtle Beach Classic 2025: A Star-Studded Event Awaits!
Myrtle Beach is gearing up for an exciting event as the second annual Myrtle Beach Classic breezes into town from May 8 to May 11, 2025. This year, the tournament will take place at the beautiful Dunes Golf and Beach Club, promising a blend of thrilling golf action, incredible celebrity appearances, and lots of fun activities for everyone!
What to Expect This Year
With about 50,000 attendees expected, this year’s event is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever. The tournament director, Darren Nelson, is looking forward to welcoming fans to this highly anticipated occasion. Ticket sales have already begun, offering various options to cater to different preferences and budgets.
You can score a single-day pass starting from just $30 on Wednesday and going up to $65 on Saturday. If you want to enjoy the entire event, consider the week pass available for $220. And here’s the best part – kids aged 15 or younger get in for free!
Luxury Seating and Access
For those looking for a more exclusive experience, there are options for luxury seating at the renowned 17th Tee, as well as inside-the-ropes tickets and clubhouse access. To make your trip smooth, remember that parking passes need to be purchased in advance at $15 per day and are available only in digital format—so no printouts or screenshots here!
Attendees will need to park at Lot B on 2400 N Oak St, close to the former Myrtle Square Mall, and catch a shuttle service directly to the golf club. Unfortunately, no parking will be available at the venue itself, but the shuttle service will certainly ease the commute.
Star-Studded Celebrity Lineup
One of the most exciting aspects of the Myrtle Beach Classic will be the dazzling lineup of celebrities attending the event. Mark your calendars for a special concert by Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line on May 8. The list of celebrities doesn’t stop there—expect to see familiar faces like Kevin Costner, Kurt Russell, Anthony Anderson, and Vanna White mingling with fans throughout the tournament! This is all part of a strategy to elevate the Classic’s profile by including names from beyond the world of golf.
Fun Format and Prize Money
This year’s tournament is notable not only for the excitement and fanfare but also for the prize purse, which totals $4 million. This is significantly lower than the $20 million purse of the concurrent Truist Championship happening in Philadelphia, which might explain why many top PGA professionals will not be participating.
Additionally, the tournament will feature a unique Q golf tournament showcasing celebrities and influencers just days before the Classic on May 5. The winner from this event will secure a spot in the Myrtle Beach Classic.
New Features and Amenities
For 2025, attendees can look forward to enhanced amenities including general admission and standing-room views behind the 18th green. Want to grab some souvenirs? Check out the new “Sand Bucket Surf Shop” for merchandise. Food lovers will appreciate the Fan Zone, featuring a food court with mouthwatering food trucks alongside traditional concessions near the 17th green. And as if that wasn’t enough, there will be evening concerts, with The Chairmen of the Board performing on Thursday and Tyler Hubbard closing out the tournament on Saturday!
World Amateur Championship Registration Open
Golf enthusiasts will also be thrilled to know that registration for the 2025 Play Golf Myrtle Beach World Amateur Championship is now open! The event, scheduled from August 25 to August 29, will take place across more than 50 courses on the Grand Strand. Limited to the first 3,000 players, early registration costs $649 per player and includes four rounds of golf, plus access to the World’s Largest 19th Hole!
Last year’s event was a resounding success, drawing over 2,900 players from 49 states and 17 countries, with participants ranging in age from 17 to 91! The Myrtle Beach golfing community is working hard to host this vibrant gathering of competitors again.
So, gear up for a fantastic time at the Myrtle Beach Classic 2025 – it promises to be a fun-filled celebration of golf, celebrities, and good vibes!
