The PGA Tour’s Creator Classic is set to make its first of three season appearances on Wednesday at TPC Sawgrass, before The Players Championship gets underway.
After the inaugural event's huge success at the Tour Championship last August, the PGA Tour has upped the ante of the event this year, highlighting how it wants to lean even more into the social media scene.
The likes of YouTube and TikTok have helped birth new personalities such as a number of big names competing in the event and have helped introduce a new, younger audience to the sport.
The Players is widely considered as the fifth Major in golf and gives host to the biggest stars such as Scottie Scheffler, who looks to win the title for the third year in a row, Rory McIlroy and the in-form Collin Morikawa as well as all of the PGA Tour's top players.
So, ahead of the Creator Classic, here is everything you need to know...
PGA Tour Creator Classic field
Ten content creators are set to take part, with Fat Perez from Bob Does Sports and the Bryan Bros (George and Wesley), the big names back from last year's event at East Lake.
They will be joined by Gabby Golf Girl and Roger Steele who also return from the inaugural event, alongside five new faces.
