While the top players on the PGA Tour are in Philadelphia at the Truist Championship there are another 132 players competing in the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic at Dunes Beach and Golf Club in South Carolina.
The field is competing for $4 million with the winner taking home $720,000 for his victory. Chris Gotterup won last year and is back to defend his title. Joel Dahmen, Tom Kim, Mackenzie Hughes, Brandt Snedeker and Camilo Villegas are among other notables in the field.
Kim, oddly, is ranked No. 41 in the world and ended last year ranked 21st. One would think he’d be in the Truist Championship field, a signature event, but he ended last year 51st in FedEx Cup points and is currently 78th on this year’s list. Neither of those were good enough to get him into the Truist so he’s in Myrtle Beach looking to gain some momentum heading into next week’s PGA Championship.
Jackson Byrd, a freshman at Clemson later this fall, is a sponsor exemption. He’s in the field with his father Jonathan, a longtime PGA Tour member who is also in the field. Blades Brown, two weeks shy of his 18th birthday, is here too.
Here’s the rundown of what each player will earn this week who make the cut. Check back here Sunday after play is complete for updates.
