World’s Largest 19th Hole Getting Bigger and Better

The World’s Largest 19th Hole is an essential part of the World Am experience, and the event’s nightly party will be bigger and significantly better this year.

The resurgent 19th Hole will reclaim the Sheraton ballroom in the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, meaning the tournament will again be able to utilize all 120,000+ square feet the building has to offer.

“The World Largest 19th Hole is vital to the tournament experience, and we are excited about what we have on tap this year,” said Jeff Monday, World Am tournament director. “We have made it a priority to expand the size and offerings at the 19th Hole, and I think tournament participants will be pleased.”

The Sheraton ballroom will allow greater flexibility throughout the 19th Hole. Featured speakers, instructors and live music acts will appear on the ballroom stage, a change that will provide more room in the main hall for exhibitors, food stations, and golf related activities.

The rejuvenation of the 19th Hole extends far beyond additional square footage.

Tournament staff is working tirelessly to double the number of exhibitors, providing a golf show feel to the convention center’s main hall.

The number of food serving stations will more than triple with different types of heavy hors doeuvres offered throughout. Of course, tournament favorites pizza and ice cream will again be available.

An open bar, featuring beer, wine and liquor will, as always, be offered to everyone over the age of 21. A full array of non-alcoholic drinks will also be served.

While the list of celebrity guest speakers is still coming together, we can confidently say that this year’s lineup will be deeper than any in recent memory. Expect an announcement that one of the game’s rising personalities will appear on the 19th Hole main stage in the very near future.

We are going to cap off a great week of 19th Hole festivities with a series of HUGE random drawing prizes. We look forward to sharing the list of prizes with you in the coming weeks.

As details of the 19th Hole continue to be finalized we will share them with you.
