The Grand Spectacle Returns to Dunes Golf and Beach Club
The ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic is scheduled to take place from May 7-10, 2026, marking its third annual return to the esteemed Dunes Golf and Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This premier dual-field PGA TOUR event will feature 120 PGA TOUR players competing in a test of skill and precision, making it a significant event on the golfing calendar and a point of pride for the region.
Known affectionately as the “Golf Capital of the World,” Myrtle Beach solidifies this claim by hosting a PGA TOUR event that brings together renowned accolades with the prestige of professional golf.

Your Chance to Experience the Action: Ticket Information
Fans eager to witness the excitement firsthand will have the opportunity to purchase tickets for the 2026 ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic starting at 9 a.m. ET on Monday, February 9. A range of ticket options will be available, including various hospitality packages designed to enhance the spectator experience. Options such as the Live Oaks Lounge, located on the 17th Tee, provide nearly 360-degree views of holes 11, 16, 17, and 18, offering comfortable amenities and hospitality.
The Carolina Club, positioned near the 18th Green and 10th Tee, offers an upscale atmosphere, while the Clubhouse Lounge provides climate-controlled seating and views of the Atlantic Ocean. These choices reflect a commitment to providing diverse experiences, allowing individuals to tailor their engagement with the event to their preferences. General admission tickets are also available, with complimentary entry for children 15 years and under when accompanied by a ticketed adult.
Driving Local Prosperity: Economic and Charitable Impact
The ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic consistently demonstrates a substantial positive impact on the local economy. In 2025, the tournament generated an estimated $15.8 million in economic impact for the region, an increase from $15.4 million in 2024. The combined economic benefit over two years totals $31.2 million, reinforcing the event’s role as a major economic driver for the Grand Strand.
The economic impact calculations, based on global standards by Destinations International (DI), highlight that out-of-town visitors, who increased by 6% in 2025, contribute significantly to the local economy through their spending on accommodations, dining, and other services. Beyond financial figures, the tournament is a powerful vehicle for philanthropy. In 2025, the event donated $225,000 to nine local charities across Horry and Georgetown counties, with the same nine organizations slated to benefit again in 2026. This charitable giving is a core principle of the PGA TOUR, which has generated over $4.5 billion for charities nationwide to date.
Community at the Forefront: Volunteerism and Engagement
The success of the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic relies heavily on the spirit of volunteerism within the community. Volunteer opportunities will become available early in 2026, offering individuals a chance to play a direct role in organizing a professional sporting event. While a $100 fee covers a volunteer package including a polo, outerwear, hat, and a credential for tournament entry, the invaluable experience and contribution to local charities make it a worthwhile endeavor.
Volunteers undertake various tasks, including assisting in merchandise tents by stocking inventory and operating cash registers, typically working shifts of 4-6 hours. This personal initiative and civic involvement not only ensure the smooth operation of the event but also strengthen community bonds and contribute to the overall charitable mission. Organizations like the Boys and Girls Club of the Grand Strand, SOS Care, and Helping Hand of Myrtle Beach are among the beneficiaries, showcasing the broad reach of the tournament’s charitable efforts.
Beyond the Fairways: Enhancing the Spectator Experience
The ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic is more than just a golf tournament; it’s a comprehensive event designed to engage a diverse audience. Spectators can look forward to additional entertainment, including free concerts offered to ticket holders on Thursday and Saturday nights. Furthermore, the tournament provides opportunities for participation through Pro-Am events, allowing amateurs to play alongside PGA TOUR professionals.
Innovation in fan engagement is also evident through initiatives like “The Q at Myrtle Beach,” a unique qualifying event featuring social media golf influencers and aspiring professionals. This event has garnered significant online viewership and is expected to return in 2026, further expanding the tournament’s reach and appeal. The Classic’s commitment to creativity and audience engagement earned it a “Best-In-Class Element” award from the PGA TOUR in 2024.
Adding to the allure, Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell headlined 12 celebrity entertainers at a related event in April 2025, demonstrating how the Classic draws prominent figures and enhances the overall entertainment value for attendees.

As the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic enters its third year, it continues to build a legacy of sporting excellence, economic vitality, and dedicated philanthropy in Myrtle Beach. The success of this event is a testament to the power of private enterprise, local leadership, and community involvement working in concert to achieve shared goals.
