College golf’s most important tournament – the NCAA Division I Championship – is returning to one of Myrtle Beach’s premier courses.
TPC Myrtle Beach has been selected as one of six regional host sites for the 2027 NCAA Men’s Golf Championship. Coastal Carolina University will serve as host school.
The 54-hole, 14-team event will be played in May.
A Tom Fazio-Lanny Wadkins design, TPC is no stranger to hosting high profile events. The acclaimed design hosted “The Q at Myrtle Beach,” a 16-player shootout featuring some of golf’s most prominent social media influencers competing for a sponsor exemption into the PGA Tour’s inaugural Myrtle Beach Classic earlier this year. TPC was also home to the Monday Qualifier for the Myrtle Beach Classic.
TPC Myrtle Beach hosted an NCAA Men’s Golf Regional in 2019, an event that featured 16 of the nation’s top 100 collegiate players, including Cal’s Collin Morikawa, who one year later was hoisting the Wannamaker Trophy as the PGA Championship winner. Current PGA Tour player Cameron Young, who attended college at Wake Forest, was also in the field that week.
Illinois won the 2019 Myrtle Beach Regional.
TPC will join Pfau Golf Course (Bloomington, Ind.), Karsten Creek Golf Club (Stillwater, Okla.), The Rawls Course (Lubbock, Texas), Gallery Golf Club (Marana, Ariz.), and Tennessee National (Loudon, Tenn.) as 2027 regional hosts. The top five teams from each regional site will advance to the NCAA Championship at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, Calif.
TPC Myrtle Beach, which also serves as the home of the annual Dustin Johnson World Junior Golf Championship, will challenge the game’s rising stars with a layout that rewards power and precision. The course has been ranked among America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses by Golf Digest and is on every list of the Myrtle Beach area’s best layouts.
A round at TPC builds in drama before concluding with the risk-reward par 5 18th hole. The green is reachable in two, but the putting surface slopes from right to left and borders water on its portside, introducing considerable danger.
