The PGA Tour announced Wednesday the launch of a series of three events featuring content from many of the most popular YouTube creators in golf.
All three will be held during the week of tournament play at PGA Tour venues such as the Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass on the eve of the Players Championship; at Philadelphia Cricket Club during the Truist Championship; and will return to East Lake Golf Club ahead of the Tour Championship.
Last year’s inaugural Creator Classic was staged the day before the Tour Championship, the finale to the Tour’s FedEx Cup playoffs. Sixteen YouTube creators competed in an individual stroke-play tournament on the back nine at East Lake that was broadcast live on the PGA Tour YouTube channel, ESPN+, Peacock and PGA Tour FAST channels.
More than 20 fan-favorite creators will participate across the three events this year, with some of the stars from the first Creator Classic returning to compete alongside new personalities. Each event will have its own individual competition format, name and player field, which will be announced soon, according to a press release.
“The inaugural Creator Classic served as a valuable testing ground as we look at new ways to connect with fans and creators,” said Chris Wandell, PGA Tour SVP, Media. “We are pleased with how the initial concept unfolded at the 2024 Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club and are excited to offer fans even more creator-driven content this year.
Here’s more information on the three creator events for this season:

Players Championship, Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass: Wednesday, March 12

Truist Championship, Wissahickon Course at The Philadelphia Cricket Club: Wednesday, May 7
