Fans on social media are critical of the 2025 PGA Tour's upcoming Creator Classic. Last year, ahead of the Tour Championship, the Tour had organized an exclusive event for golf-renowned content creators. The second edition of the Creator Classic was held at TPC Sawgrass in March 2025, and the next will take place in May.
Recently, the PGA Tour unveiled the format and field for the event. The field will feature Paige Spiranac and Josh Richards. However, some big names, including the winners of the last two editions of the Creator Classic, Luke Kwon and Grant Horvat, are missing from the field of the upcoming edition of the event.
Nuclr Golf shared the field list on its X (formerly Twitter) account, and fans in the comment section were critical of it.
Some criticized the Tour Commissioner, Jay Monahan, for ruining the event, while some pointed out the missing players from the field.
"Jay even ruined this," a fan wrote.
"Not a great field at all for entertainment. No Fat Perez, Horvat, etc," another fan wrote.
Notably, most of the golf content creators who competed in the LIV Golf The Duels Miami event, which is also a golf event for the content creators, are missing from the field of the Creator Classic. Fans in the comment section pointed this out.
"Pretty notable of who isnt on that list," a fan wrote.
"Collabing with LIV in any way equals the death penalty now I see what a sad day in golf." one more fan added.
Here are some other fan reactions:
"Hate to say it, but this field sucks," another fan added.
"No Horvat, no Bryan bros not watching," a fan wrote.
