Myrtle Beach had plenty to celebrate on the links this week, with two golf stories giving the community reason to cheer.
The 29th annual Family Golf Week brought more than 900 participants to the Myrtle Beach area, according to WMBF News. Now in its third decade, the beloved event continues to draw families from near and far to enjoy one of the Grand Strand’s most iconic pastimes together. The milestone turnout underscores just how deeply golf is woven into the fabric of the Myrtle Beach community — and how Family Golf Week has become a cherished summertime tradition that keeps growing year after year.
Adding even more excitement to the local golf scene, former Myrtle Beach Classic champion Ryan Fox claimed his first major title, according to WPDE. Fox, who earned his place in Myrtle Beach golf lore by winning the Myrtle Beach Classic, has now taken that winning form to the grandest stage in the sport. His major victory is a proud moment for a community that watched him compete and thrive on its own fairways.
Together, the two stories paint a picture of a city that loves the game at every level — from families teeing it up together for the 29th consecutive year to a champion who once played here going on to conquer the world’s biggest tournaments. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or a first-timer grabbing a club with the kids, Myrtle Beach remains one of the best places in the country to enjoy the sport, and this week proved it in style.
