Myrtle Beach Classic Prize Money Payout 2024
A new tournament on the PGA Tour takes place at South Carolina’s Dunes Golf and Beach Club
While the PGA Tour’s latest signature event, the Wells Fargo Championship, takes place at North Carolina’s Quail Hollow, in neighboring South Carolina is a new PGA Tour event, the Myrtle Beach Classic.
Not surprisingly, there is nowhere near the prize money available at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club this week, with “just” $4m on offer rather than the $20m of the higher-profile event. However, there is still an attractive first prize of $720,000, while each player who finishes in the top 11 is set for a healthy six-figure windfall.
Unlike the Wells Fargo Championship, the new event also features a full field and a cut, meaning only those who make it as far as the weekend will get a share of the purse.
The winner will also receive 300 FedEx Cup points.
Below is the prize money payout for the 2024 Myrtle Beach Classic.
