The momentum behind the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic continues to build in a big way, and the latest round of announcements makes it clear that 2026 is shaping up to be the biggest and most exciting edition yet.
Set for May 7–10 at the iconic Dunes Golf and Beach Club, the PGA TOUR event has quickly established itself as one of the most unique stops on the schedule—combining world-class competition with an unmistakable Myrtle Beach experience. And this year, that experience is getting even better.
One of the headline additions for 2026 is the tournament’s enhanced entertainment lineup. Fans attending Friday and Saturday rounds will be treated to more than just great golf, as live concerts are included with admission. Legendary band The Beach Boys will take the stage Friday night, bringing decades of hits and energy to the Ocean Lawn. On Saturday, popular regional act Julio and the Saltines will keep the atmosphere going with a high-energy performance to close out the day.
It’s a perfect reflection of what makes this event different—this isn’t just about what happens between the ropes. It’s a full weekend experience, blending elite golf with live music, coastal vibes, and a festival-like atmosphere that only Myrtle Beach can deliver.
On the competition side, the stakes are rising just as quickly. ONEflight International is once again elevating the player experience by offering a $250,000 private flight credit to the tournament winner, in addition to the standard purse and PGA TOUR benefits. Players who make the 36-hole cut will also receive five-hour flight credits, adding another layer of incentive and prestige to the event.
With a $4 million purse and a full TOUR exemption on the line through 2028, the field of 120 players will be competing for more than just a trophy—they’ll be battling for career-changing opportunities. Recent champions have already proven the event’s growing significance, with winners quickly rising into the top tier of the Official World Golf Rankings.
Adding to the excitement, the tournament will also have a familiar and beloved face representing it in 2026. Vanna White, longtime co-host of Wheel of Fortune and a North Myrtle Beach native, will serve as the event’s official ambassador.
White has been closely connected to the tournament since its inception, participating in Pro-Ams and engaging with fans throughout the week. Her role as ambassador further strengthens the event’s ties to the local community while adding a recognizable national presence that resonates with audiences across generations.
Her involvement is another example of how the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic continues to blend star power, local pride, and world-class golf into a single, unforgettable experience.
From the action on the course to the entertainment off it, everything about this year’s event points to continued growth. The combination of elite PGA TOUR competition, major incentives for players, live concerts, and recognizable personalities creates an atmosphere that goes well beyond a traditional tournament.
And for fans, it all remains incredibly accessible. With daily and weekly ticket options available, family-friendly access (including free admission for children 15 and under with a ticketed adult), and special offers for military and first responders, the event continues to prioritize making this experience available to as many people as possible.
Simply put, the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic is no longer just a new addition to the PGA TOUR calendar—it’s quickly becoming a must-attend event.
If 2026 is any indication, the best is still yet to come.
