LIV Golf announced the launch of an event similar to the PGA Tour’s Creator Classic on Wednesday, and Paige Spiranac was not listed as one of the competitors. Spiranac is one of the most popular social media personalities in golf.

On March 26, LIV Golf introduced a new single-event competition to its schedule. The competition is called The Duels: Miami, and is set to be held on April 5 at LIV Golf Miami. Similar to the Creator Classic, The Duels will feature some of the most prominent golf content creators, including The Bryan Bros and Fat Perez.

The competition will feature six teams of two players each; each team will feature one content creator and one LIV Golfer. Here’s the confirmed lineup of the content creators and LIV Golfers expected to tee off at the event:

• Sergio Garcia and Wesley Bryan
• Bubba Watson and Luke Kwon
• Joaquin Niemann and Rick Shiels
• Phil Mickelson and Grant Horvat
• Dustin Johnson and George Bryan
• Cameron Smith and Fat Perez

Golf content creator Paige Spiranac competed in the PGA Tour’s inaugural Creator Classic event last year, where she finished with two-over. This year, she didn’t compete in the event, but was part of the broadcast team alongside Dan Rapaport, Shane Bacon, and Doug Smith.

For LIV Golf’s The Duels, Paige Spiranac is not only absent from the field but also from the broadcast team. The commentators for the event have been listed as Mason Nutt, Andrew Santino, Joey Demare (Joey Cold Cuts), and Robby Berger (Bobby Fairways).

The Duels will be exclusively broadcast on Grant Horvat’s YouTube channel on April 5. After the conclusion of the event, fans can catch a close-up replay of the competition on the social media platforms of the LIV Golf teams that participated in the tournament.
