Brandt Snedeker Wins Myrtle Beach Classic for First PGA Tour Title in Nearly 8 Years
The 45-year-old veteran earned a two-year PGA Tour exemption and spots in the PGA Championship and 2027 Players after a comeback win.
On Sunday, Brandt Snedeker captured the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic in South Carolina, securing his 10th PGA Tour victory and first in nearly eight years while earning a spot in the upcoming PGA Championship.
Snedeker's comeback follows 2022 experimental sternum surgery and his mother's passing; entering the season on conditional status, he had missed numerous cuts since the COVID pandemic before reclaiming his form.
After Mark Hubbard failed to force a playoff on the 18th hole, Snedeker finished at 18-under 266 and told caddie Holt the win "means everything" while embracing him with visible emotion.
The victory grants Snedeker a two-year PGA Tour exemption, providing crucial stability for the 45-year-old and guaranteeing entry into high-profile tournaments previously out of reach.
Serving as captain of the United States team at the Presidents Cup this autumn, Snedeker will evaluate American players while continuing his competitive career at age 45.
