46th Annual Summit

The members-only Annual Summit is the premier event for South Carolina’s business leaders, bringing together top professionals from across the state. During this influential gathering, we proudly recognize the recipients of our Business Leader and Public Servant of the Year awards, announce the Economic Engagement Award winners, present Business Week scholarships, and honor the Sergeant William Jasper Freedom Award recipients. With a series of timely program sessions and valuable networking opportunities, the Summit offers the ideal environment for conducting business and staying informed on critical issues shaping our state’s future.

South Carolina has a rich history with the game of golf, dating all the way back to 1743 with a shipment of golf balls that arrived in Charleston. A few decades later, the first golf course in America was developed in South Carolina called Harleston Green.

South Carolina continues to be a leading state for golf, hosting numerous professional tournaments, and attracting golfers from around the world to play on some of the most beautiful courses in the country.

Hear from Jared Rice, Senior Vice President of Revenue & Event Management for the PGA Tour, on why South Carolina continues to be a leading destination for the PGA Tour, what drives that economic investment, and how the Tour boosts the state's economy. 

Jared Rice is currently the Senior Vice President of Revenue & Event Management.

Rice led THE PLAYERS Championship as the Executive Director from 2017-2023 but joined THE PLAYERS staff in 2010 after four years in multiple roles at the PGA TOUR including Business Development and Global Licensing.
