And let the games begin! The 2025 OneFlight Myrtle Beach Classic is set to reach the end, featuring a star-studded field headed by Charley Hoffman, Tom Kim, and Thorbjorn Olesen. Currently, Carson Young is leading with -13, followed by Ryan Fox at -11. Victor Perez is tied for third. The tournament is taking place at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, with a 132-player field competing in the third additional event of the year. So, what is the winner getting this year?
Well, the stakes are high, with a significant prize pool up for grabs that’s sure to get everyone’s competitive juices flowing. The purse for the event is set at $4 million, which is no small change. It’s interesting to see how the prize money can impact a player’s performance – sometimes it can be a huge motivator, while other times it might add extra pressure. The top five payouts are substantial, with the winner taking home $720,000, followed by $436,000 for second place, $276,000 for third, $196,000 for fourth, and $164,000 for fifth. The payout structure is slightly different this time, as more than 65 players making the cut will result in the purse being adjusted to ensure every player gets paid, which is a nice touch.
Beyond the prize money, there are plenty of other incentives on the line that are worth noting. The winner will earn 300 FedEx Cup points, which can be a major boost in the rankings. Additionally, they’ll receive 27.9 Official World Golf Ranking points and a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour, providing a level of security and opportunity for future events. An exemption into the PGA Championship and The Players is also up for grabs, which are prestigious events to be a part of.

However, you’ll have to wait a little more than anticipated to find out who the winner is going to be. Because-
There is a delay in the 4th round of ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic
The final round of the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic golf tournament has been delayed due to possible overnight rain, which is a sensible decision considering the safety and playability of the course. The PGA Rules Committee announced on Saturday afternoon that the forecast for storms led to the decision to push back the Round 4 tee times. It’s not uncommon for weather conditions to impact golf tournaments, and it will be interesting to see how the players adapt to the potentially challenging conditions.
The new tee times are now scheduled between 10 a.m. to 12:01 p.m. off of 1 and 10 tees, which should give the course enough time to recover from any overnight rain. The WMBF First Alert Weather Team’s forecast shows downpours through the early morning hours, with a chance for scattered showers and isolated storms through Sunday afternoon, so it’s likely that the weather will continue to play a factor in the tournament. Who do you think will win under these sudden roadblocks? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below!
