A 72-hole, net stroke play tournament, the World Am will be played August 30 – September 3 on 55 of the Myrtle Beach area’s premier courses.

Entry into the tournament, which includes at least four rounds of golf, nightly admission to the World’s Largest 19th Hole and a gift bag, is $619 through July 8th a $60 savings off the regular cost. The registration deadline for this year’s event is August 5th.

“Based on early feedback, players love the concept and with short lines, premium drinks and a golf lesson, among many other perks, the Blade & Bow Lounge will make the 19th Hole experience even better,” Tournament Director Scott Tomasello said. “Blade & Bow, with its commitment to honoring history while producing one of America’s finest bourbons, is a perfect sponsor for the World Am and our VIP lounge.”

The Blade and Bow story began with the founding of the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery in 1935, a Louisville icon and home to the fathers of bourbon. With a commitment to craftsmanship and artistry, Stitzel-Weller reimagined what Kentucky Bourbon could be until distilling stopped in 1992.

Blade and Bow has opened the door to the next chapter of Stitzel-Weller’s renowned history.

The Blade and Bow family includes two distinct variants: Blade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey and Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Each variant offers a completely unique experience that pays homage to the storied distillery and welcomes a new generation to the art of bourbon making that was perfected within these walls.
