The story

Myrtle Beach World Am in Myrtle Beach

The Myrtle Beach World Amateur Golf Tournament is a 72-hole, week-long amateur golf championship held each late summer across roughly sixty Grand Strand golf courses. With a maximum field of three thousand golfers of all skill levels, it ranks among the largest golf tournaments in the world, pairing daily competitive rounds with the nightly World's Largest 19th Hole party at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center.

The Myrtle Beach World Amateur Golf Tournament grew directly out of the Grand Strand's identity as one of the densest concentrations of golf courses anywhere in the world, a region that markets itself heavily around golf tourism.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

The place changes

The World Am's scale sets it apart from most amateur golf events: three thousand golfers, its maximum field capacity, play a different course from a rotating pool of roughly sixty Grand Strand courses across four competition days, including well-known layouts like Barefoot Resort, Caledonia, Grande Dunes, the Legends courses, and TPC Myrtle Beach

The mystery stays covered

Entry is open to any skill level, not only golfers with an official handicap, with separate flights for handicapped and non-handicapped players by age, handicap, and gender

The city starts moving

Each evening's World's Largest 19th Hole gathering at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center adds free food, drink, a golf expo, and entertainment, turning the tournament into as much a social event as a competition
