The show, featuring hosts Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic, will originate from the first tee on Barefoot Resort's Dye Course from 6 - 10 a.m. More than 11 million people listen to the show weekly on ESPN Radio or watch the simulcast on ESPN2.

"Mike & Mike have become part of the Monday After the Masters experience, and we look forward to them enjoying another trip to America's most popular golf destination," said Bill Golden, president of Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday. "Having Mike & Mike broadcast live from Myrtle Beach the day after The Masters, when interest in golf is at its peak, provides tremendous exposure for the area and it showcases the good times that have made the area so popular."
