Thinking About Playing in the World Am?

Ole Smoky Distillery & Yee-Haw Brewing Company, the latest entertainment attraction at Myrtle Beach’s Broadway at the Beach, is proud to partner with the Play Golf Myrtle Beach World Amateur Championship in 2026 as the new host of this year’s World Am Welcome Party!

Highlights include an opening ceremony with recognition of past winners in attendance along with random drawing prizes.

So you’re already registered for the World Am — congrats, you’re officially one of the 3,000+ playing golf’s biggest amateur event in the Golf Capital of the World®! But here’s a fun little side quest you might not know about: while you’re here, you can also throw your hat in the ring for the Pairs Competition, and honestly, it might be the best $50 you spend all week.

Play Golf Myrtle Beach is proud to announce the 43rd annual Play Golf Myrtle Beach World Amateur Championship field is now officially full for the acclaimed 72-hole tournament to be contested Aug. 31 – Sept. 4.
The annual event has reached its maximum field of 3,000 participants, cementing its status as one of the most highly sought-after and unique experiences in golf. With registration now closed, tournament officials have opened an alternate list for people who still wish to secure a spot in the historic event.
