It was the PGA Tour's opposite-field event this week opposite the signature event, the Truist Championship, but there was still tons to play for at the 2025 Oneflight Myrtle Beach Classic.
The winner of the event would earn a two-year PGA Tour exemption. That's huge. Also, first place at Dunes Golf and Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is good for $720,000. That's nice. But the extra bonus was a spot in the 2025 PGA Championship, if he was not already in the field.
That made the final round at Myrtle Beach a tournament within a tournament for guys like Harry Higgs, Alex Smalley, Victor Perez, Ryan Fox, Hayden Buckley and Mark Hubbard, among others, who were not yet in the field for the PGA but who found themselves in the thick of Sunday's final-round action.
