2024 Myrtle Beach Classic prize money payouts for each PGA Tour player

First place at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club in South Carolina was $720,000.

Chris Gotterup’s career earnings on the PGA Tour through 26 events was $837,558.

He just about matched that by winning for the first time at the inaugural Myrtle Beach Classic.

Gotterup led by four after 54 holes and ended up winning by six at the third opposite-field event on the PGA Tour’s 2024 schedule, which was held at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club in South Carolina.

Full prize money and FedEx Cup points only follow victories in the non-additional events, but, a win is a win and Gotterup banked $720,000 for his victory. He also earned a spot in the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in five days.

Chris Gotterup wins Myrtle Beach Classic, clinches spot in 2024 PGA Championship

Gotterup’s first win on the PGA Tour has punched his ticket to Valhalla.

Chris Gotterup came to play this week.

After opening with a Thursday 66, he shot his PGA Tour-best 64 in Friday’s second round of the inaugural Myrtle Beach Classic, where he took a one-shot lead into the weekend.

Saturday’s third round at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club saw a 65 from Gotterup, the 2022 Haskins Award winner as the top player in college golf at Oklahoma, and that opened up a four-shot lead after 54 holes, tying the largest lead after three rounds on Tour this season.

During Sunday’s final round, he stumbled out of the gate with back-to-back bogeys but that appeared to merely wake him up, as he went birdie-eagle-birdie over his next three holes. He made the turn in 33 and then went 2 under down the stretch to shoot a final-round 67, with birdies on three of his last four holes, to finish at 21 under and cruise to a six-shot win over Alistair Docherty and Davis Thompson. That marks the largest margin of victory this year, besting the five-shot margin Scottie Scheffler had at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Gotterup then celebrated with family as his mom, dad and brother all made the trip on Mother’s Day to watch his maiden victory.

“Well, I saved my ass because I ordered some flowers and they didn’t come,” he said. “They’re not supposed to come until tomorrow, so I gave her at least something today. But it’s awesome. They came down this morning, and after the first two holes they were probably a little iffy, but yeah, just a great day.”

In his 27th start, Gotterup became the seventh first-time winner and second in as many weeks in 2024. In addition to the first-place check for $720,000, Gotterup punched his ticket into the PGA Championship at Valhalla, which starts Thursday. It’ll be his second major start following an appearance in the 2022 U.S. Open. He’s also the fourth rookie to win on the PGA Tour in 2024.

Ryan McCormick, Beau Hossler, Kevin Yu, Ryan Fox and Jorge Campillo all tied for fourth at 15 under. Alex Smalley tied for 20th at 11 under but got good news earlier in the day when he was added to the PGA Championship field after Steve Stricker withdrew Sunday morning.

Robert MacIntyre, contending for first PGA Tour win, admits life away from native Scotland is a challenge

“I’m from a small town on the west coast of Scotland. A lot of people never leave.”

Robert MacIntyre is heading into the weekend in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, a shot off the lead as he seeks his first PGA Tour victory. He nearly claimed his maiden victory at last year’s Genesis Scottish Open, his 18th-hole 3-wood wowing the gallery before Rory McIlroy spoiled all his fun.

MacIntyre has status on the DP World Tour as well but is committed to making the most of his time on the PGA Tour. However, it’s not always easy moving thousands of miles away from home and settling into a new life.

After his second round Friday, MacIntyre opened up on the challenges of living far from home.

“I’m from a small town on the west coast of Scotland. A lot of people never leave Oban. They go on holidays and stuff, but they’re born there, they work there, they ultimately die there. My whole family and friends are there. They’re probably always going to be there,” he explained.

“It’s just difficult when I come over here, me and my girlfriend. We’re trying to make it home, and it’s difficult when you’ve not got that family connection. We’re giving it our best shot, but it’s completely different to home life.

“Obviously I got home there for three weeks and managed to have somewhat of a normal life for three weeks.”

He was then asked about his U.S. homebase.

“What is your home life like? Obviously you’re traveling a bunch. Where are you living in the U.S., and is it a permanent home?” was a question from the media at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club.

“No, it’s not a permanent home. Again, it’s a trial period. We’re trying to test out where home is going to be. Renting a place in Orlando, practicing out of Isleworth. The facilities are absolutely incredible.

“I thought that moving to the U.S. was the only way of achieving my dreams in golf. I don’t know if that’s the answer.

“I feel like a happy Bob MacIntyre is a dangerous Bob MacIntyre on the golf course, and home life makes me happy. That’s why I’m probably going to go home after the next couple events. I’ll go home to Scotland rather than go to Orlando.”

He was then asked how long he thought he was committed to playing on the PGA Tour.

“I’m trying to keep my card out here. It’s not easy. I’ve not had the greatest of starts, or after an alright start, I’ve not played the way I wanted to play. I want to be one of the best players in the world, so whatever I’ve got to play, I’ll play, whether it’s in the U.S., whether it’s in Europe, whether it’s further afield. It doesn’t faze me. I’m used to traveling.”

“Is that why you came to the U.S. and the PGA Tour, to try to be the best in the world, and how difficult of a decision was it actually to make to actually pull the trigger?” he was asked.

“It wasn’t a difficult decision. The world ranking points, the financial gain and the practice facilities, it can only benefit me if I play good golf.

“I can go back to European tour anytime I want. I’ve obviously got that grace period with the 10 cards that we’ve got this year, and I’ve obviously got one in the back pocket from playing Ryder Cup. I’m comfortable. I’m just trying to become one of the best players in the world.

“I don’t know what limit I’ve got in golf. I don’t know where my limit is. I’m just trying my best every day to accept what score I get and work harder.”

Chris Gotterup storms up Myrtle Beach Classic leaderboard after late birdie blitz

The 2022 Haskins Award winner is in contention in Myrtle Beach.

Chris Gotterup birdied six of his last eight holes, including four straight to close out his round of 64, to grab the solo lead after 36 holes at the inaugural Myrtle Beach Classic.

The third opposite-field event on the PGA Tour’s 2024 schedule is being held at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club in South Carolina, where the 2022 Haskins Award winner went on a late tear, chipping to two-feet for a tap-in birdie on No. 15, sinking a six-footer for birdie on No. 16, draining a 50-footer for birdie on the par-3 17th and closing with a 17-foot birdie putt on 18.

“We were really just executing shots pretty solidly down the stretch there,” the former Oklahoma Sooner said. “It got pretty windy, so definitely a good finish for me today.”

Robert MacIntyre, tied for the lead after an opening 64, held the solo lead for the good part of Friday before Gotterup stormed up the leaderboard with his birdie onslaught. Still, MacIntyre shot 64-67 and is at 11 under, just a shot back. Should he hoist the trophy Sunday, MacIntyre would be the 16th left-handed golfer to win a PGA Tour event.

Jorge Campillo is solo third at 10 under and there are four golfers at 9 under, tied for fourth.

There have been six first-time winners in 2024. Twelve of the top 14 golfers on the leaderboard after 36 holes are seeking their first PGA Tour win.

Blades Brown, 16, a three-time boys golf individual state champion in Tennessee, made the cut in his PGA Tour debut. He shot 72-67 and finished 3 under, one better than the cutline of 2 under. He’s the latest youngster to make noise at the professional level.

Under-the-radar Myrtle Beach Classic debuts on PGA Tour with Beau Hossler, Robert MacIntyre tied for lead

Two first-timers are tied for the lead after 18 holes. There have been five first-time winners in 2024.

With the golf world’s attention on the PGA Tour’s sixth signature event of 2024, the Wells Fargo Championship, as well as the Cognizant Founders Cup, where Nelly Korda is going for a record sixth LPGA win in a row, 132 golfers are competing this week in the inaugural Myrtle Beach Classic.

The field includes the likes of Matt Wallace, Erik van Rooyen, Kevin Kisner, Sam Ryder, Brandt Snedeker and Joel Dahmen.

After 18 holes at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club, it’s Beau Hossler and Robert MacIntyre tied for the lead after each posted 7-under 64s.

Hossler had a stretch of birdie-birdie-eagle-bogey-birdie on Nos. 11 through 15 before closing with consecutive pars. Hossler is playing his 189th PGA Tour event. He’s made more than $10 million in his career but has only five top-5s on his resume. MacIntyre, one of the few lefties on Tour, had eight birdies and just one bogey. He’s also seeking his first PGA Tour win.

There have been five first-time winners in 2024.
