Four Nights of Music & Memories: World Am’s 19th Hole Rocks the Convention Center

The 2025 Myrtle Beach World Amateur is more than a tournament—it’s a celebration of golf, camaraderie, and unforgettable evenings. After each round, the party moves to the World’s Largest 19th Hole at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, where nightly entertainment sets the tone for fun and relaxation.

From Monday, August 25 through Thursday, August 28, players and their guests are invited to enjoy live music, complimentary food and drinks from local restaurants, interactive games, and more—all inside a 120,000-square-foot space dedicated to the World Am experience.

Here’s what’s in store on the music front:

  • Monday: Kick off the week with the soulful sounds of Bourbon Sons.

  • Tuesday: Sing along with the high-energy Crocodile Rocks Dueling Pianos.

  • Wednesday: Step up to the mic during Karaoke Night—a fan favorite.

  • Thursday: Wrap up the week with a retro blast from The Breakfast Club, Myrtle Beach’s top ‘80s tribute band.

Hosted by St. André Golf & Friends, the nightly 19th Hole festivities are where stories are shared, friendships are formed, and the good times roll. Co-host Aaron Chewning promises a few surprises of his own—and maybe a karaoke cameo or two.

Music, laughter, and great company—it’s all waiting for you each night at the 2025 World Am.
