PGA Tour Creator Classic Line-Up, Format And How To Watch

The season-long fight to lift the FedEx Cup, and collect $25m in prize money, comes to a head at the Tour Championship, but before the high-stakes event gets underway at East Lake, there is a separate tournament taking place at the venue.

The Creator Classic is a new tournament that has come about thanks to a collaboration between the PGA Tour and Full Swing director Chad Mumm’s production company Pro Shop.

But what exactly is it? Here are all the things you need to know about the event.

Creator Classic Format

The Creator Classic is a nine-hole event that will see 16 popular golf influencers compete on the back nine of the newly restored East Lake, which will host the conclusion of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, the Tour Championship, the following day. 

The competitors will face the same conditions as the pros, while handicaps will not apply so no strokes will be given to any player.

The action will begin on the 10th hole. From there, the first eight holes will see the players divided into groups of four playing strokeplay.

Once the first eight holes are completed, the four players with the lowest scores will progress to a one-hole playoff. If there is a tie after the foursomes section, there will be a chip-off on the 17th to decide who makes the playoff. 

The winner of the playoff will claim the inaugural Creator Classic trophy.

Who’s In The Field For The Creator Classic?

The field will be made up of 16 of the most well-known golf influencers, including the Bryan Bros, Fat Perez from Bob Does Sports, Paige Spiranac and Good Good members Garrett Clark, Brad Dalke and Sean Walsh.
