Golfers from 48 States, including 202 from Georgia and a grand total of 28 nations represented in Myrtle Beach for 2015 World Am.

3,357 golfers from 48 states and 28 countries are preparing to descend on the South Carolina coast for the 32nd annual Myrtle Beach World Amateur Handicap Championship, golf’s largest and most inclusive event.

A 72-hole, net stroke play tournament, the World Am will be played August 31-September 4 on 57 Myrtle Beach golf courses. Players will be separated into six divisions and 72 flights based on age, gender and handicap. After four rounds of competition, all flight winners and ties advance to the World Championship Playoff at Barefoot Resort’s Dye Club.

At the heart of the World Am’s competitive success is the game’s best and most aggressively enforced handicap monitoring system, which levels the playing field for all participants.

Myrtle Beach, the game’s most popular destination, is the only place capable of hosting a tournament as large as the World Am, and the depth and quality of the area’s courses, are a primary attraction. Of the 57 courses hosting the event, 11 have been ranked among the nation’s top 100 public courses in recent years.

As important as the golf is, it’s only half the fun at the World Am. Each night players gather at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center to enjoy the “World’s Largest 19th Hole,” a 120,000-square-foot golf extravaganza that features free food, drink and top notch entertainment acts.

Joining the nearly 3,400 golfers at this year’s tournament will be two-time major champion John Daly, former PGA Tour player and Golf Channel analyst Charlie Rymer, television personality Win McMurry, and national radio hosts Brian Katrek and John Maginnes.

The World Am is a one-of-a-kind event, bringing golfers from different cultures, ability levels and backgrounds together to celebrate the game.

Some numbers as the 2015 Myrtle Beach World Amateur Handicap Championship approaches:

•    6: Number of competitive divisions, ranging from men 49 and under to the super seniors (70+), a women’s division and the recently created gross division
•    36: Courses used daily
•    57: Courses utilized for the entire week
•    72: Total number of flights
•    92: Approximate number of players at each course daily
•    5,000: Estimated participants and guests visiting the World’s Largest 19th Hole nightly at the Sheraton Hotel and Convention Center
•    102: Estimated kegs of beer consumed for the week at the 19th Hole
•    +3-40.4: Range of handicaps in the competition
•    16,579 kilometers: The approximate distance from Adelaide, Australia – Christopher Kay’s home – to Myrtle Beach, the farthest commute of any 2015 competitor.?
