As the mini golf capital of the world, the sport holds a special place in the heart of the Grand Strand.

Starting Thursday, some of the best putt putters in the world will battle it out in Myrtle Beach to determine who is the best.

The World Putting League will host “The Match” Thursday, July 13 at the Aloha Course in Myrtle Beach. “The Match” will feature inaugural WPL event winner Gary Hester against two-time event winner Joey Graybeal. The putters will take the course at 4:30 p.m. ET.

While there are odds on “The Match”, South Carolina does not allow sports betting, according to CBS Sports.

The WPL previously held its third event at the Aloha Course June 26, which Graybeal won. Aloha Mini Golf is located at 900 Lake Arrowhead Road in Myrtle Beach.
