Notes: This is the second year of the opposite-field event held a week before the second major of the year. ... The winner gets a spot in the PGA Championship next week at Quail Hollow but not the Masters. ... Tom Kim is listed in the field. He is not eligible for his second straight signature event and did not get an exemption. ... Kim is the only player from the top 50 in the world ranking at the Myrtle Beach Classic after Nico Echavarria withdrew. ... 17-year-old Blades Brown is playing on a sponsor exemption. He missed the cut on the Korn Ferry Tour last week with a chance to secure some status. Brown made the cut in Myrtle Beach last year in his PGA Tour debut. ... Danish twins Nicolai and Rasmus Hojgaard entered Myrtle Beach. Rasmus got the final spot in the Swing Five that makes him eligible for the $20 million signature event in Philadelphia.

Next week: PGA Championship.
