The Myrtle Beach Classic will have its inaugural edition from May 9-12. The event will be played at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and will serve as the opposite event to the Wells Fargo Championship, the sixth Signature Event of the season.
The Myrtle Beach Classic field is led by Ryan Fox, ranked 61st in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR). Eleven other members of the top 100 will be in attendance.
One of the most pedigree players in the field will be Erik van Rooyen (66th), a two-time winner on the PGA Tour, most recently at the 2023 World Wide Technology Championship.
Other interesting players to watch will be Thorbjørn Olesen (75th) with an excellent performance in the DP World Tour, Beau Hossler (81st), who comes with one top-10 and two top-25s in nine tournaments in 2024, and Robert MacIntyre (84th), one of the European heroes of the 2023 Ryder Cup.
Rounding out the group of top-100 world ranking members are Matt Wallace (85th), coming off a T4 finish at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, Ryo Hisatsune (87th), Ben Griffin (88th), Sami Valimaki (90th), K. H. Lee (95th), Victor Perez (98th), and Thriston Lawrence (100th).
The Myrtle Beach Classic will also serve as the stage for YouTube golfers George and Wesley Bryan to play together in a PGA Tour tournament for the second time. They previously did so at the 2023 Butterfield Bermuda Championship, where they both made the cut.
Wesley Bryan arrives at the Myrtle Beach Classic after finishing runner-up at the Corales Puntacana Championship two weeks ago. George, for his part, received a sponsor's exemption after finishing second in the special qualifier that included eight well-known YouTube golfers such as Grant Horvat and Fat Perez.
