How it works

Building on the success of the inaugural Creator Classic in August 2024, the PGA TOUR and Pro Shop Studios are raising the stakes in 2025 to launch a season-long sequence of events and content featuring the most prominent YouTube creators in golf. The creator series will unfold across three PGA TOUR events throughout the 2025 FedExCup Season.

Fan-favorite content creators first squared off on March 12 for the "Creator Classic at TPC Sawgrass," the first of three in the season-long creator series.

Next up – set for Wednesday, May 7, on the eve of the Truist Championship – eight of the most prominent golf creators will team up with four well-known YouTube creators to take on the Wissahickon Course – facing the same course conditions as the pros – to compete for the "Creator Classic at Philly Cricket" title. The tournament will consist of four, three-person teams, each featuring one YouTube creator and two golf creators, competing on Nos. 10-17 in an alternate-shot, gross-score format. After the conclusion of play, the two top teams will advance to the par-4 18th hole for a hole-by-hole playoff.
