Getting tickets for the Myrtle Beach Classic golf tournament? Here’s what to know
PGA golfers may have to mind an alligator or two while setting up their approach shot at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club during the 2025 Myrtle Beach Classic.
While spectators who want to watch golf feats and fauna from afar can get tickets, fans looking to attend should consider ensuring the security of their purchase. The Myrtle Beach Classic sells tickets and parking passes on its website via Ticketmaster.
In a statement to The Sun News, the director of the Myrtle Beach Classic Tournament, Darren Nelson, said all official sales are with Ticketmaster, and the Myrtle Beach Classic’s website lists Ticketmaster as the only verified ticket provider.
Nelson added that all tickets bought through Ticketmaster will be digital and scannable on one’s phone at the gate for the May 8-11 tournament. He said parking comes in either digital or hard tag form.
However, tickets will also be available on the secondary market on platforms like StubHub and SeatGeek. Nelson said that while ticket selling on the secondary market is natural, the tournament has no control over those.
According to the non-profit consumer protection group Better Business Bureau, people purchasing tickets on the secondary market should consider several factors first.
Buyers should compare prices to other platforms and account for extra fees. The BBB recommends buying tickets from sellers with a consumer protection policy or are members of the National Association of Ticket Brokers.
For other Grand Strand events like the Carolina Country Music Fest in June 2024, concertgoers who bought re-sale tickets needed to obtain the wristbands that came with their purchase. People who had damaged wristbands or did not wear them could get into the festival.
The BBB also noted that buyers should consider waiting until closer to the event date and that prices often fall as the date approaches. According to the Myrtle Beach Classic’s website, children under 15 get ground access for free, veterans and first responders get a 25 percent discount, and day pass ticket prices range from $30-2,500.
The 2025 tournament will be the second iteration at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club after its 2024 inauguration. However, many top PGA pros won’t tee off along the Grand Strand between May 8 and 11, as the Myrtle Beach Classic will take place at the same time as the PGA Tour’s Truist Championship. The second year also brings a new co-sponsor.
A Feb. 18, 2025, press release for the tournament announced that private plane provider and booking service ONEflight International joined Visit Myrtle Beach in backing the tournament.
