The Q at Myrtle Beach, golf’s original creator competition, is returning for its third edition, with the winner earning a sponsor exemption into the PGA TOUR’s Myrtle Beach Classic.
This year’s made-for-YouTube event, produced in partnership with Grant Horvat and the Bryan Bros, features a two-part competition that pits eight content creators against each other for a chance to compete on golf’s biggest stage.
The drama unfolds across two rounds and two videos. Rivers Edge Golf Club, an Arnold Palmer design along the Shallotte River, will host a series of match play contests in Round 1, debuting April 27 on Horvat’s YouTube channel.
Winners will advance to Round 2 at Pawleys Plantation Golf & Country Club, where a final stroke-play showdown will determine who claims the exemption. The finale drops April 30 on the Bryan Bros’ YouTube channel.
A Jack Nicklaus design, Pawleys Plantation Golf Club is one of the Myrtle Beach area’s most scenic courses and an ideal venue to decide which creator is ready for the PGA TOUR.
The full field will be announced in the lead-up to Round 1. For updates, visit www.theqatmyrtlebeach.com

The Q at Myrtle Beach has quickly become a first-of-its-kind event, generating millions of views while helping bridge the gap between professional golf and digital
creators. Its impact has been recognized nationally, including earning the PGA TOUR’s “Best In-Class Element” award in 2024.
Past champions include Matt Atkins (2024) and Nathan Franks (2025), both of whom earned spots in the Myrtle Beach Classic field.
The 2026 Myrtle Beach Classic will be played May 7–10 at The Dunes Golf & Beach Club. Previous winners Chris Gotterup and Ryan Fox are both currently ranked among the top 50 players in the world.
