Brandt Snedeker won the 2026 ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic by defeating Mark Hubbard by one stroke. This is Snedeker’s first win since the 2018 Wyndham Championship.
Snedeker started the final round three strokes behind Hubbard, the leader at the time. Snedeker, the U.S. Team Captain of the 2026 Presidents Cup earned his 10th career PGA Tour win with a final round of 5-under-66. At 45 years-old, he joins Justin Rose and Gary Woodland as players in their 40s to win on the PGA Tour this season.
With this win, Snedeker earned a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour and a spot in next week’s 2026 PGA Championship. It will be his 51st career start in a major and first since the 2021 Open Championship. Snedeker had this to say about what this victory meant in his post-round press conference.
“I knew I was playing well. I just hadn’t been able to put it all together. Hopefully it shows my family, my kids something. Just, you know, ten wins out here is an accomplishment. Something I’m very proud of.”
Hubbard was looking for his first career win in his 274th start, the second-most starts among active players on the PGA Tour without a win on record (most: Patrick Rodgers at 326). A bogey on the last hole dropped him one stroke out of a playoff with Snedeker.
Brooks Koepka also made some noise this week, essentially condemning LIV Golf by saying he wasn’t happy on the golf course with that tour. “I would say back until ’23, the PGA. That’s the most — it’s been a long time since I’ve had fun playing golf.” While he didn’t win the tournament today, fans were excited to see him back in contention.
The PGA Tour heads to Philadelphia for the 2026 PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club. Last year’s champion Scottie Scheffler will look to defend against a field that includes Snedeker, Aaron Rai and Rasmus Hojgaard.
