The World’s Largest 19th Hole is back at the 2025 Play Golf Myrtle Beach World Amateur Championship (World Am) with a new host – St. André Golf.
The World’s Largest 19th Hole hosted by St. André Golf & Friends is included exclusively for all World Am participants and their guests. From 6-9 p.m. each evening, Monday through Thursday (August 25-28), the 120,000-square-foot Myrtle Beach Convention Center is transformed into an all-inclusive Myrtle Beach golf and culinary experience featuring complimentary food and drinks from local restaurants, interactive games, a recovery zone, and live entertainment. Only World Am participants can purchase up to two additional guest badges, so more of their friends and family can join in on the one-of-a-kind experience of the World’s Largest 19th Hole.
“The 19th Hole is where participants share their World Am experience with friends and family, and unwind from an exciting day of competition,” said Ryan Hart, Tournament Director, Golf Tourism Solutions. “It’s an all-inclusive experience unique to the World Am, and it’s centered on community and connection, which is why St. André Golf is a perfect partner.”
Atlanta-based St. André Golf has built a loyal and engaged community by lightheartedly exploring the intersection of playing golf with golf culture and humanity.
“Hannah, Jonathon and I are thrilled to be hosting the World’s Largest 19th Hole at this year’s Myrtle Beach World Amateur,” said Aaron Chewning, founder of St. André Golf. “There’s nothing better than unwinding after a great round of Myrtle Beach golf, so we’re excited to do just that—four nights in a row. We’re looking forward to connecting with players, sharing some laughs, and maybe even treating the crowd to a bit of (admittedly questionable) karaoke. It’s an honor to be a small part of such a legendary event.”
Chewning will be pulling double duty as host and participant as he plans to compete in the World Am for the first time.
Past participants will recognize returning favorites and look forward to new experiences at the one-of-a-kind event. The fan-favorite par-3 contest will return to the lineup at the World’s Largest 19th Hole along with Wednesday Night Karaoke and the world-famous long putt challenge with legendary prizes up for grabs each evening.
More than 20 Myrtle Beach area restaurants will provide the all-inclusive culinary experience. Alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages are included, talented local artists will provide the entertainment, and everyone is encouraged to relax and recuperate in the reimagined recovery zone.
Katrek & Maginess on Tap, part of the SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio lineup featuring Brian Katrek and John Maginess, will broadcast nightly from 5-7 p.m. Fellow golf content creators Wesley and George Bryan of the Bryan Bros. and other special guests will make appearances during the week.
