ONEflight Joins As Co-Title Sponsor Of Myrtle Beach Classic
South Carolina, February 19 2025 - ONEflight International has been announced as the co-title sponsor of the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic, strengthening its presence in professional golf. The tournament returns to South Carolina’s Grand Strand on May 8-11, 2025, at Dunes Golf and Beach Club. This partnership was brokered by SPORTFIVE, reinforcing its role in securing premier sponsorships for top-tier golf events.
Founded in 2010, ONEflight International has redefined luxury private jet travel and continues to expand its presence in professional golf. With six PGA TOUR stars, Akshay Bhatia, Denny McCarthy, Patrick Rodgers, Adam Schenk, Scott Stallings, and Sahith Theegala, as brand ambassadors, the company is deeply committed to the sport’s growth. ONEflight was also named the Official Private Aviation Partner of TGL last fall.
The Myrtle Beach Classic made a stellar debut in 2024, with Chris Gotterup claiming the inaugural title by six shots, marking his first PGA TOUR victory. The tournament drew more than 40,000 fans throughout the week, reinforcing Myrtle Beach’s reputation as a premier golf destination.
In recognition of its success, the PGA TOUR honored the event with the ‘Best-In-Class Element’ award for its innovative ‘The Q at Myrtle Beach’ feature—a unique 18-hole shootout featuring digital content creators that amassed over 1 million views worldwide on the Play Golf Myrtle Beach YouTube channel.
ONEflight’s passion for golf and commitment to excellence make them an ideal partner to enhance the tournament experience in Myrtle Beach.

Together with Visit Myrtle Beach, we look forward to delivering an exceptional tournament experience for players, fans, and the entire golf community.”
Visit Myrtle Beach also expressed enthusiasm for the partnership. “Visit Myrtle Beach is very pleased to welcome ONEflight International as a co-title sponsor for the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic,” said Tracy Conner, Interim President and CEO of Visit Myrtle Beach. “This partnership elevates the tournament’s prestige and underscores Myrtle Beach’s status as a premier destination for golf and leisure."
The ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic, awarding 300 FedExCup points to the champion, is one of two PGA TOUR stops in South Carolina in 2025, alongside the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links. The tournament will be held concurrently with the Truist Championship, which moves from Quail Hollow Golf Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, to the Philadelphia Cricket Club (Wissahickon Course) in Pennsylvania.
The 2025 ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic will be broadcast on Golf Channel and PGA TOUR LIVE on ESPN+, bringing world-class golf and exciting competition to fans around the globe. SPORTFIVE looks forward to seeing this tournament continue to grow and thrive through this exciting new partnership.
