-
Expected cut: The Myrtle Beach Classic features a standard 36-hole cut, with the low 65 scores (and ties) advancing to Rounds 3 and 4; last year’s cut was made at -1, but weather will likely force higher scores this week

⛳ Course breakdown: Dunes Golf and Beach Club
Dunes Golf and Beach Club has hosted this tournament the past two years since it was added to the PGA Tour schedule ahead of the 2024 season. Only 62 golfers played this event both years, and only 21 made the cut in both runnings of the tournament.
Ryan Fox, last year’s champion of the Myrtle Beach Classic, leads all with 2.19 true strokes gained per round at this venue. However, he has since graduated to the Signature Events, and is a possible Truist Championship sleeper pick with +10000 odds to win.

Kevin Yu (2.8% win probability) is the course history darling this week. He finished T4 and 4 in two appearances at Dunes Golf and Beach Club, and has averaged 2.07 true strokes gained per round. Davis Thompson (5.3%), who’s second to Koepka by the chances to win, finished T2 two years but didn’t play last year’s event. Koepka will make his competitive debut at Dunes.
