Organizers say the annual FDNY tournament in Myrtle Beach will be dedicated to the nine Charleston firefighters who died fighting a furniture store fire last June.
More than 600 firefighters from across the nation and Canada will play on 30 Myrtle Beach-area courses later this month.
One of the fallen Charleston firefighters was Capt. Louis Mulkey. In the past he brought other firefighters from Charleston who volunteered to cook at the tournament's picnic and awards ceremony.
