Myrtle Beach Golf News

There’s no better reason than golf’s spring season in The Golf Capital of the World® to show the world just how much you love this game! Thanks to our friends on Instagram, we continue to see nonstop action and timeless memories being created throughout the Grand Strand. Let’s take a look at what they’ve been up to these past two weeks!

PGA TOUR Studios and Play Golf Myrtle Beach proudly present “More Than Qualified,” a groundbreaking documentary following professional golfer and content creator Ryan Ruffels.

After securing a sponsor exemption by winning The Q at Myrtle Beach, Ruffels was followed by PGA TOUR Studios film crews to document his mental and physical preparation for his return to the PGA TOUR for his first TOUR start since the 2022 Shriners Children’s Open. The documentary provides unprecedented access, featuring Ruffels mic’d up during every competitive round of the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club.

PGA TOUR Studios and Play Golf Myrtle Beach (PGMB) are proud to announce the debut of “More Than Qualified,” a groundbreaking documentary following professional golfer and content creator Ryan Ruffels. The documentary premieres Wednesday, May 13, at 7 p.m. ET on the PGA TOUR YouTube channel and offers a raw, behind-the-scenes look at Ruffels’ transition from the YouTube creator space back to the highest level of professional golf competition. The American-born Australian, who turned professional in 2016 at age 17, has 73K subscribers on YouTube, 122K followers on Instagram and 7K followers on X.

The golf world has truly embraced the champion of the 2026 ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic, Brandt Snedeker, as a feel-good story for multiple reasons: first win in eight years on TOUR, overcoming injuries, competing at a high level at age 45, the list goes on.

Turns out, there’s yet another reason to feel good about Snedeker claiming the title.

And 21 years earlier, The Dunes Club was the site of the PGA TOUR Qualifying School Finals (1973), with Ben Crenshaw taking medalist honors.
