Attend the Colonial Life Charity Classic in Columbia

This year brings another exciting PGA TOUR event making its South Carolina debut! The Colonial Life Charity Classic will be held May 14 – 17, 2026 at Woodcreek Club, located in Elgin, just outside Columbia. Tournament tickets can be purchased here.

This new Korn Ferry Tour event will be hosted at the beautifully designed Woodcreek Club—a Tom Fazio masterpiece celebrated for its scenic fairways, strategic challenges and classic Southern charm. The Colonial Life Charity Classic promises four days of world-class golf, but the primary beneficiary of this charity event is The United Way of the Midlands, a nonprofit organization focused on breaking cycles of poverty by addressing immediate needs and building long-term solutions in health, education and financial stability.

With the addition of the Colonial Life Charity Classic, South Carolina continues to build a legacy as a premier golf destination, both to play the game and to experience PGA TOUR golf at sanctioned events like the RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing in Hilton Head, the ONEFlight Myrtle Beach Classic and the BMW Charity Pro-Am in Greer. Add unique golf events like the Myrtle Beach World Amateur and the Discover South Carolina Cup, and there is something for every golfer and spectator.

While visiting the Midlands make sure to visit Columbia, a lively city that serves as the state capital of South Carolina. With several vibrant entertainment areas and an abundance of outstanding restaurants and accommodations, you will be sure to enjoy your time away from the golf course. Columbia is also home to the nationally acclaimed Riverbanks Zoo and newly redesigned Finlay Park—a large park and entertainment spot located in the downtown area. Other cool spots to get your steps in and enjoy unique views of the city and the Congaree River are Columbia Canal and Riverwalk Park and the West Columbia Riverwalk.  And speaking of golf courses, Columbia and the surrounding area has many first-class golf courses that will meet your budget and offer a stout test.
