A number of notable golfers have already committed to participate in next week’s $4 million ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club.
Major champions Webb Simpson and Danny Willett, nine-time PGA Tour winner and 2026 U.S. Presidents Cup Team Captain Brandt Snedeker, and teenager Blades Brown are all expected to participate in the third annual PGA Tour event from May 7-10.
Harry Higgs, a victim to Ryan Fox’s 50-foot chip-in on the first hole of a playoff last year, along with fellow runner-up Mackenzie Hughes, will try to regain the form he had in Myrtle Beach last May.
Higgs has failed to record a top-20 in 19 PGA Tour events since his close call at The Dunes Club.
Twin brothers Nicolai and Rasmus Hojgaard, 25, of Denmark, are also committed, though Nicolai may still earn his way into the $20 million Truist Championship being played simultaneously at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte.
Nicolai is ranked No. 37 in the Official World Golf Ranking and has four professional wins, while Rasmus is ranked 60th in the OWGR and has five professional wins.
Brown returns to Myrtle Beach for the third as an 18-year-old after tying for 26th as a 16-year-old amateur in 2024 and tying for 37th in 2025 in his first season as a pro.
Brown has three top-three finishes this year between the PGA Tour and Nationwide Tour. He finished third in the dual field Puerto Rico Open in early March and has four top-40 finishes in five PGA Tour starts in 2026, and has second- and third-place finishes in seven Nationwide starts.
Simpson, 40, a Raleigh, N.C., native and Charlotte resident, won the 2012 U.S. Open, while Willett, of England, won the 2016 Masters Tournament. They are both scheduled to make their Myrtle Beach Classic debuts.
