Held the week before Labor Day, the event is open to all amateur golfers with a USGA handicap, or the foreign equivalent. The 2009 World Am hosted 3,060 golfers from 49 states and 20 countries at 51 area golf courses for the week-long battle to determine the “World’s Amateur Golf Champion.” Flighted according to their handicaps, golfers compete in four rounds with all flight winners and ties then advancing to the 18-hole world championship playoff at the renowned Dunes Golf and Beach Club.
The on-course competition is only half the fun. Each evening after tournament play, participants and their guests enjoy hospitality at the “World’s Largest 19th Hole,” also known as the Myrtle Beach Convention Center. The 19th Hole features an extensive golf expo with equipment demos, entertainment, free food and drinks and jumbotron video boards to keep tabs on scores.
