Meet the content creators battling at The Q at Myrtle Beach for PGA Tour sponsor exemption

Who’s going to come out on top?

Some of the top content creators in golf battling it out for a spot at an official PGA Tour event? Yeah, it’s happening next month.

The Monday qualifer for the 2024 Myrtle Beach Classic is called The Q at Myrtle Beach and it will feature 16 players competing for a sponsor exemption into the tournament at Dunes Golf and Beach Club in South Carolina.

The Myrtle Beach Classic, a new event on the Tour schedule in 2024, will be played May 9-12 and will feature a purse of $3.9 million, with 300 FedExCup points awarded to the champion. It’s an opposite-field event held the same week as the Wells Fargo Championship.

The Q at Myrtle Beach field includes 16 players, many with ties to South Carolina, including eight of the most prominent golf content creators.

All professional and amateur competitors meet the PGA Tour tournament regulations for sponsor exemptions and will be eligible if they qualify.

The 18-hole shootout will be March 4 at TPC Myrtle Beach. It will be closed to the public, but a 90-minute video will be released on Play Golf Myrtle Beach’s YouTube page on April 23, and the content creators will post videos on their respective channels documenting their experiences.

Here’s a look at the 16 golfers playing in The Q at Myrtle Beach:

Alex Noren leads, Camilo Villegas back in the mix and more from Saturday at 2023 Butterfield Bermuda Championship

Catch up on Saturday’s action here.

Alex Noren has 11 international wins, he has played in the Ryder Cup and he has represented Sweden at the Olympics. But come Sunday, he’ll have a chance to do something he has never done before — win on the PGA Tour.

After rounds of 61-66 over the first two days, Noren shot a 4-under 67 around Port Royal Golf Course on Saturday and holds a one-shot lead at the 2023 Butterfield Bermuda Championship with 18 holes to play.

The Swede, who tied for third at the Shriners Children’s Open a month ago in Las Vegas, kept the bogeys off the card during his third round. Despite only hitting eight fairways (T-43 in the field), Noren was crisp with his irons, missing just four greens (T-12).

In 27 previous starts this season, Noren has six top-25 finishes and three top-10s. His last worldwide win came at the 2018 HNA Open de France.

If you missed any of the action on Saturday, no worries, we have you covered. Here are some takeaways from the third round of the 2023 Butterfield Bermuda Championship at Port Royal.

The Bryan brothers, Wesley and George, battle in Wyndham Championship Monday qualifier

What a day for the Bryan family.

Monday was an interesting day for the Bryan family.

The youngest, Wesley, is a PGA Tour winner — 2017 RBC Heritage — and has made 14 starts this season. His brother, George, on the other hand, plays most of his golf on YouTube these days.

That isn’t to say he isn’t a stick, because he absolutely is. He carries a +6 handicap.

And after shooting a bogey-free 4-under 67 at a pre-qualifying event at Bermuda Run Country Club in Bermuda Run, North Carolina, on July 27th, George earned himself a spot in the Wyndham Championship Monday qualifier.

Both Bryan brothers shot 5 under at Bermuda Run Monday, putting themselves in a six-for-three playoff.

Unfortunately, Wesley made it out of the playoff and into the Wyndham field while George did not.

“Well, one of us had to win and one of us had to lose. Well, I guess theoretically, both could have won, both could have lost, six-for-three playoff. Unfortunately, George did not make it through, fortunately, I did make it through. Sorry, George, still love you, but I’m always going to try to beat you until the day I die. In everything,” Wesley said on his Instagram Monday.

Although this one didn’t fall George’s way, he recently announced he signed up for PGA Tour Q-School. Through the program, he has a chance to earn a Tour card.

In four previous appearances at the Wyndham, Wesley has missed three cuts.
