"Not a surprise" - Fans label Grant Horvat as a "great golfer" after victory at the 2025 Creator Classic

Grant Horvat won the 2025 Creator Classic on Wednesday, sinking the winning putt on the iconic 17th green. The event was held the day before The Players Championship began.

The tournament was held on the back nine of TPC Sawgrass, and Horvat won by a single shot over Chris "Soly" Solomon, shooting one over par for the eight holes.

Fans reacted to the PGA Tour's post on X, praising Horvat for his victory at the Creator Classic.

"A winning putt on No. 17! @GrantHorvatGolf wins the Creator Classic @TPCSawgrass," the PGA Tour's tweet reads.

"Not a surprise. Great golfer," one user wrote on X.

"My favourite YouTube golfer. Yess Grant," another user posted on X.

"Let’s go Grant!! Congrats man," one user commented.

There were some comments, however, that were both critical of the PGA Tour holding the event and Horvat's putter of choice. Horvat also putts using a claw-style grip, as opposed to the traditional putting grip.

"Pray they never do this crap again," one user commented.

"Not valid with that big dumb putter," another comment read.

Someone even commented, saying they think Horvat should have qualified for the actual tournament.

Thought the winner qualified for the actual tournament tomorrow. Huge miss if this is different from Myrtle Beach last year. Grant would definitely bring new eyes tomorrow and Friday, and I think most people are curious about how he would hold up against some of these guys," the post read.
