“The relationship that was forged between the tour and the state of South Carolina was a special one," CJ Cup tournament director Andre Silva said.
 
"And it was always in the back of our mind if there was an opportunity to come back, definitely it would be one of the places that would be in discussions.
 
 “It’s going to be amazing and one of the top PGA events on the tour this year for sure.”
