In this episode of Tee'd Off, the crew discuss the new drama in the world of golf, including new LIV Golf defections and rumors, Tiger's new apparel deal with TaylorMade, and an amateur winning a PGA Tour event for the first time in 30 years! PGA Professional Jake Benton joins the studio to discuss the prominent Arrowhead Country Club in Myrtle Beach. Aaron and Ben share what packages and accommodations fit well with Arrowhead Country Club, and some great things to do in the Myrtle Beach area after a fun round of play in the Golf Capital of the World! The show wraps with another great segment of "Tee'd Off!"

For the first time since Phil Mickelson in 1991, an amateur won a PGA Tour event! Nick Dunlap took home the trophy at the American Express Championship at PGA West, scoring a tournament-best round of 60 on Saturday and a dramatic finish to hold on to the lead on Sunday. Although his amateur status prevented Nick from taking home  the $1.5 million prize, he did leave with some special parting gifts, including PGA Tour exemptions and entry into all 4 upcoming major championships. Nick also won't be hurting monetarily for long, as he has recently announced he is turning professional and will be competing on the PGA Tour full time for the remainder of 2024.

LIV Golf pulled another big name over to their controversial alternative golf tour; world number 16 Tyrell Hatton has signed onto Jon Rahm's Legion XIII for a deal worth $50 million dollars. Tyrell is the newest defections amongst a batch of rumored PGA Tour departures, including names like Wyndham Clark and Brian Harmon. One of the biggest names rumored in this group is quite a blast from the past.. Anthony Kim! AK is slated to make his long awaited return to professional golf by joining LIV in March. Kim, who has not played on the PGA Tour since 2012, has been absent from the game due to injuries and a large insurance policy that would be void if he returned to the tour. The large LIV sign on bonuses have made it possible for AK to take the risk and return to competitive golf. Kim's energy, cockiness, and risk-it-all style of play made him quite the polarizing figure in 2008-2011; it will be great to see him tee it up again soon on the big stage again!

Tiger Woods' recent split from Nike Golf has left many in the golf world wondering what the future would be for the Goat's personal brand. Those questions were answered quickly, as TaylorMade has recently filed for Trademark rights for a new logo of a new brand known as Sunday Red! This new brand appears to be the next chapter in what has been an iconic period of golf fashion. Sunday Red will feature apparel and accessory offerings, so we look forward to seeing what TaylorMade comes up with!

Jake Benton, PGA Professional of Arrowhead Country Club, stops by the Tee'd Off studio to talk shop and explain what makes one of the highest requested Myrtle Beach courses so special. Arrowhead is located just off of Highway 501 in Myrtle Beach, and offers 27 premium holes. Jake is proud of the wall to wall overseeding program that makes Arrowhead green and pristine year round! The mini verde bermuda greens are always a treat and roll pure year round.  Jake breaks down Arrowhead's signature hole: Waterway #5, which offers some of the finest views of the Intracoastal Waterway! The package of the episode is the popular Elite Package, which offers great pricing and replay offerings for some of the most premium courses in Myrtle Beach. 

The accommodations of the episode are Bay View on the Boardwalk and Paradise Resort. Both with 1,2,3, and 4 bedroom options to fit most budgets, golfers can stay in style on the oceanfront and be close to all the action Myrtle Beach! Off the course, the Tee'd Off crew break down some of the area's most popular breweries, including Voodoo Brewing Grand Strand Brewing Company, and Crooked Hammock Brewery. 

In this Episode of Tee'd Off, the crew discuss the upcoming TGL and predict how it will be received by the public. Other Tiger Woods projects include a future Pop Stroke in Myrtle Beach! The boys also forecast the 2024 season of PGA vs LIV. Scott Taylor is in the studio to talk shop about his golf course, the fan favorite River Oaks in the Golf Capital of the World, Myrtle. And of course... what Tee's them Off!

Although we are still awaiting his return to the course, Tiger Woods has been very busy trying to expand his presence in the golf world. His new gold league with Rory Mcllrory, TGL, is expected to begin on primetime TV in 2024. This alternative golf league will utilize a state of the art performance center in Florida to host it's matches, and the simulated golf will include play from simulators and a stadium style approach and green with live actuators to change the lie and undulation. This should be an exciting new attempt at attracting both current and new golf fans alike! For the family vacationer in Myrtle Beach, Tiger will be making his presence felt in the putt-putt world, as he plans to open a Pop Stroke at Broadway at The Beach! This is a family and adult-friendly short game course, paired with a great selection of food and spirits. Right across the street from Top Golf, we predict this will be a hole-in-one in Myrtle Beach!

The featured course of the episode is River Oaks, and their mission could not be more spot on- FUN! River Oaks is a family-friendly course that offers the friendliest atmosphere on the Grand Strand. Scott Taylor, General Manager, breaks down how he and his family strive to get the most enjoyment out of their guests round after round. A 1980s Gene Hamm design, River Oaks is a tree-lined course with raised, tight Champion Bermuda greens that offer a fun but fair test for any level golfer. The 3rd and 4th holes are fantastic tracks that offer unparalleled views of the Intracoastal Waterway. A big highlight of River Oaks is off the course, as the back patio is one of the most sought after post-round spots for a beverage and a bite! River Oaks is conveniently located just minutes away from central Myrtle Beach and the Myrtle Beach airport, so consider playing on the first day of your next golf trip. To book River Oaks, the package of the episode is the Myrtle Beach Golf Trail Multi-Play Package, which gives you top savings on some of the best course in Myrtle Beach! 

The accommodations of the episode are the Bahama Sands condos in North Myrtle Beach. This resort-style condominium complex offers luxurious 2 and 3 bedroom ocean view and oceanfront condos in Crescent Beach. Amenities include large floorplans, designer furnishings, full sized kitchens, in-condo laundry, and large private balconies. Bedding options are great for golf packages, so make sure the Bahama Sands is on your shortlist for your next Myrtle Beach golf trip!

This episode was a doozy, with plenty to discuss in the world of golf and Myrtle Beach golf!

The Route in Rome was evident from the opening session on Friday, as the Europeans handled the USA yet another loss abroad, reclaiming the Cup 16.5 to 11.5. A goose egg in Friday Morning Foursomes, a 9&7 blow out dealt to World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and reigning PGA Champ Brooks Koepka during Saturday Morning Foursomes, and Jordan Spieth not winning a match for the first time in his Ryder Cup career are some of the glaring low lights of a disappointing tournament. Even Team USA's only spark came with controversy, as Patrick Cantlay's stellar play was overshadowed by "Hatgate," in which the media portrayed Cantlay's bare head as a symbol of protest for the lack of monetary compensation for Ryder Cup participation. Overall, it was an extremely disappointing result for Team USA, and we wished we slept in over the weekend! On to Bethpage in 2025, where we will be anticipating some redemption from the Red, White, and Blue!

Tiger Woods is expected to be a top candidate for Captain when the Ryder Cup returns to home soil in 2025, but his new ventures in the game are taking shape much sooner than that! Tiger Woods, along with Justin Timberlake, have launched a new dining and entertainment venue, T-Squared, which recently opened it's first franchise in midtown Manhattan this summer. This luxury sports pub has upscale food in a casual, fun environment, and state of the art golf simulators to boot! This is something that would fit well in a metropolitan area, but how about a historical setting? How about the most historical golf town in the world? That's right, Woods and Timberlake have submitted plans to open a T-Squared in St. Andrews,  requesting to renovate the only cinema in the town the birthed the game of golf.  The locals and golf purists alike do not like this idea in the slightest, and have pushed back with nearly 10,000 signatures protesting the possible move. We love Tiger and his ventures, as his min-golf franchise, Pop-Stroke, is planning to come to Myrtle Beach in 2024! However, we agree that a modern bar and grill does not mesh well with the tradition and history in a setting like St. Andrews. Hopefully this concept stays just where it is, as only an idea and not reality!

The featured courses of the episodes are the ever popular tracks at Myrtle Beach National! Head PGA Professional Ryan Ruddy stops by to talk shop on the 3 courses and what makes them so popular amongst Myrtle Beach golf travelers. Ryan describes the South Creek Course, a 1973 Palmer Group design, as a shot makers' course that will test every club in your bag. This course makes you think, and those who aren't bombers can be creative off the tee to hit to spots. Also introduced in 1973 by the Palmer Group, the West Course is a very player-friendly course off the tee, which can cater to the risk taker. Approach defenses even the score, as the greens slope back to front, making long shots a tough up and down. Either the South Creek or West Courses and Myrtle Beach National are coined as great starter courses for your next Myrtle Beach golf trip! The famed King's North, is a 1994 redesign by the King himself. Huge sand waste areas and wide landing areas are key characteristics of one of Myrtle Beach's favorite golf courses. King's North No. 6 is possibly the most iconic hole in all of Myrtle Beach. Known as The Gambler, you can take a short cut off the tee by hitting on to an island fairway. Watch out for arrant shots or windy conditions, or as Kenny Rogers said, "Know when to hold um, know when to fold um!"

The golf package of the episode was the Founders Inclusive package, which has lunch, drinks, and range balls with each course you play! Accommodation of the episode is the Ocean Bay Club, offering premium 1, 2, 3, and 4 bedroom luxury oceanfront condos just off of famous Main Street in North Myrtle Beach. 

In this episode of Tee'd Off, PGA Professional Mike Deluca joins Ben and Aaron to talk shop on the upcoming Ryder Cup in Rome. Mike breaks down some of the beach's best finishing holes at Wachesaw East, and of course, what Tee's them Off!

In this episode of Tee'd Off, Ben and Aaron recap Viktor Hovland's phenomenal run to win the Fedex Cup, discuss Zach Johnson's Ryder Cup captain's picks, and the biggest amateur golf event of the year, the Myrtle Beach World Am!
