MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – Haylee Harford, a LPGA rookie with ties to the area, has partnered with Golf Tourism Solutions to become an ambassador for PlayGolfMyrtleBeach.com, the ultimate resource for planning and booking a Myrtle Beach golf trip.
As part of the agreement, the PlayGolfMyrtleBeach.com logo will adorn Harford’s bag, she will make appearances on behalf of the organization, and PGMB will create unique content around her journey.
An Ohio native and collegiate star at Furman University, Harford moved to Myrtle Beach upon graduation, allowing her to work more closely with Classic Swing Golf School’s Ted Frick, her long-time instructor.
“I play golf and live in the Myrtle Beach area, so having Play Golf Myrtle Beach as one of my sponsors is a thrill,” Harford said. “I enjoy the courses and the professional staff at the clubs and am proud to have the logo on my golf bag. I will continue to spread the word about the amenities in the Myrtle Beach area as I travel around the country on the LPGA Tour.”
“We are thrilled to be working with Haylee and look forward to supporting her during her climb up the LPGA ladder,” said Jenna Hottel, director of marketing for Golf Tourism Solutions. “Haylee has a bright future in the game, she is an engaging personality, and, like so many golfers across the country, has long been aware of the virtues of a Myrtle Beach golf trip.”
After recording eight top 10 finishes in two years on the Symetra Tour, Harford earned her LPGA Tour card at Q-School last winter, shooting 6-under during the eight-round event at Magnolia Grove in Mobile, Ala. Harford finished 32nd, good enough to earn full playing privileges for the 2022 season.
She was named the 2019 Southern Conference Player of the Year and became just the 11th player in SoCon history to be a four-time all-conference honoree during her storied career Furman.
