The PGA Tour is breaking into the YouTube golf world with the introduction of The Creator Classic, a nine-hole competition featuring some of the most popular golf creators from around the world. This event will take place at the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta just before the Tour Championship. Sixteen skilled and successful golf creators will compete for the inaugural Creator Classic title, facing the same conditions as the pros and showcasing their talents on a global stage.
Among the participants in The Creator Classic are well-known names such as Paige Spiranac, Tyler Toney from Dude Perfect, the Bryan Bros, Fat Perez from Bob Does Sports, and Good Good creators Garrett Clark, Brad Dalke, and Sean Walsh. These creators will compete in eight holes of gross stroke play, followed by a playoff between the top four finishers. The lineup for the foursomes will be announced the day before the event, adding to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the competition.
One of the highlights of The Creator Classic is the opportunity for these creators to be the first to officially take on the newly restored back nine at East Lake Golf Club. The club underwent a full-scale restoration following the 2023 Tour Championship to enhance the course and incorporate elements from the original Donald Ross layout while adapting to changes in the modern game. This event will provide a unique and exciting opportunity for both creators and viewers to experience the restored course in action.
The event will be broadcast on the PGA Tour’s YouTube channel, as well as several other platforms including Peacock and ESPN+. The Creator Classic will feature ShotLink, Trackman shot tracing, and on-screen graphics to enhance the viewing experience and provide viewers with a comprehensive look at the competition. Golf fans and enthusiasts will have the opportunity to watch these talented creators showcase their skills and compete for the coveted Creator Classic title.
The tournament is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, Aug. 28 at 4 p.m. ET at East Lake Golf Club, with play beginning the next day. The competition will bring together some of the most influential and successful golf creators in the world, offering a unique opportunity to see them in action on a professional course and compete for a title. The event promises to be an exciting and entertaining showcase of talent, skill, and passion for the game of golf.
