What is the format for the 2025 Creator Classic?

Last year, the inaugural Creator Classic featured 16 YouTubers who played in a nine-hole tournament. This year, golfers will play in eight holes of stroke play. The event will begin at the par-4 10th hole of the course and finish on the 17th hole. The top three players will then compete in a one-hole sudden-death playoff to determine the final champion.

Luke Kwon won last year's event at East Lake. He played against stars such as Sean Walsh, Paige Spiranac, Brad Dalke, Roger Steele, Wesley Bryan, and George Byran. Kwon finished one-under after a playoff with Walsh and Steele. He was closely followed by Wesley Bryan with two-under.

For his victory, Kwon received a trophy and griddle from Blackstone. He also received two invites to the International Series. It is not yet confirmed if Kwon will return to the event this year to defend his title.

The PGA Tour recently announced that there will be three Creator Classics this year. The first will be at TPC Sawgrass, while the second and third will be at Wissahickon Course at The Philadelphia Cricket Club and The East Lake Golf Club, respectively.
