Charlie Rymer, Blair O’Neal Scheduled to Appear at Golf.com World Amateur Handicap Championship

The on-stage entertainment for the 29th annual Golf.com World Amateur Handicap Championship is beginning to take shape, and a pair of personalities with national profiles will be among this year’s guests.

Golf Channel analyst Charlie Rymer is returning to the World’s Largest 19th Hole, and he will be joined by Blair O’Neal, a Cobra-Puma staff player who has been called America’s hottest golfer. O’Neal, who plays on the Symetra Tour, is also the host of the Myrtle Beach Golf Buzz.

The 29th annual World Am will be played August 27-31 on 60 Myrtle Beach area golf courses. The 72-hole net stroke play tournament is open all golfers with a verifiable USGA handicap, and entry also includes access to the World's Largest 19th Hole where free food, drinks, live entertainment and a golf expo are among the attractions.

More than 3,000 players from all 50 states and 25 foreign countries are expected to attend.

A former host of the Big Break and Road Trip: Myrtle Beach, Rymer is one of Golf Channel’s most prominent personalities, appearing on Golf Central, guest hosting the Morning Drive and more. A three-year member of the PGA Tour, Rymer was an All-American at Georgia Tech and won on what is now the Web.com Tour.

Rymer will emcee the 19th Hole activities, regale tournament participants with stories from behind the scenes on the PGA Tour, and take questions from the crowd.

O’Neal, who will be filming new Myrtle Beach Golf Buzz episodes, will bring tournament participants into the show, in addition to signing autographs, and talking about the challenges of being an up-and-coming golfer with dreams of earning a LPGA Tour card.

A former All-American at Arizona State, the 5'10″ blonde was named by Sports Illustrated as “One of the Hottest 50 Athletes of All-Time” in 2008 and named one of the “Top 10 Sexiest Women in Sports” by Men's Health Magazine in 2011.
