Myrtle Beach Classic to debut as alternate event on PGA Tour in 2024

The PGA Tour announced Wednesday that a new tournament, the Myrtle Beach Classic, will debut in 2024.

The tournament, which will be sponsored by Visit Myrtle Beach, will take place on South Carolina's Grand Strand at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club as a full-field alternate event, meaning it will be played the same week as a designated event for those players who do not qualify to the elevated event.

The Myrtle Beach Classic will feature a purse of $3.9 million and 300 FedExCup points will be awarded to the champion. The Tour has committed to an initial four-year agreement for the tournament at The Dunes.
