The third and final installment of the PGA Tour Creator Classic for the year 2025 is here, taking place once again at the historically rich East Lake Golf Club. This event not only marks a significant conclusion to the PGA Tour season but also sets the stage for the much-anticipated Tour Championship—an essential part of the FedEx Cup playoffs.
What to Expect from the Creator Classic
Twelve notable creators and influencers will compete on the back nine of East Lake, all vying for the title of 2025 Creator Classic Champion. The lineup includes returning champion Luke Kwon, who aims to defend his title against a star-studded field featuring recognizable names like Good Good members Garrett Clark, Brad Dalke, and Sean Walsh. Other impressive golfers include Chris Solomon from No Laying Up and the YouTube powerhouse Peter Finch, who recently showcased his skills in the Final Qualifying for this year’s Open.
Star-Studded Commentary Team
The event will be brought to life by a dynamic commentary team. Shane Bacon will anchor the studio alongside Aaron Chewning and Hannah Aslesen at St Andre Golf. Notably, social media star Paige Spiranac will provide ground coverage, ensuring fans don’t miss any of the action. This year’s production promises to be the best yet, featuring live ShotLink data powered by CDW, as well as Trackman shot trails and drone tracking.

The structure of the event remains similar to previous years. This year, three groups of four players will commence from the 10th hole of East Lake and engage in an eight-hole gross stroke-play format. The top four competitors will advance to a playoff on the iconic 18th hole, where the prize money totals $100,000 for the victor.
