Myrtlewood Make-A-Wish Golf Tournament now accepting entries for 2025

Event Has Raised Over $65,000 for Local Children

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – Registration is now open for the 6th Annual Myrtlewood Golf Tournament benefiting Make-A-Wish South Carolina, set to take place on Saturday, September 6, 2025. This year’s event is bigger than ever, expanding to both the Palmetto and PineHills courses to accommodate the surge in support and participation.

Presented by HTC, the tournament continues a powerful tradition of generosity and community impact. Since its humble beginnings as a members-only event in 2020, the Myrtlewood tournament has raised more than $65,350 in donations for Make-A-Wish South Carolina.

The 2024 event brought in a record $34,000, plus a $10,000 check from Myrtlewood’s parent company, Founders Group International, through its “Blue Star” point-of-sale donation program, bringing the 2024 total to $44,000.

“This tournament has grown beyond what we ever imagined,” said Chris Lovorn, Board Secretary and Treasurer of the Myrtlewood Senior Men’s Golf Association and a Make-A-Wish South Carolina board member. “Every dollar we raise brings us closer to granting life-changing wishes for children right here in South Carolina. We’re excited to open registration and invite everyone to be part of something truly meaningful.”
