Grant Horvat Among Big Names Added To PGA Tour Creator Series… But There’s No Luke Kwon
TPC Sawgrass' Stadium Course is set to stage the first Creator Classic of 2025, but the series opener is to be without last year's winner, Luke Kwon


The PGA Tour introduced the golf world to the first Creator Classic event at the Tour Championship in 2024 and, at The Players Championship, the tournament is set to make a return.
Being held on the Wednesday prior to the PGA Tour's flagship event getting underway, the 'Creator Classic at TPC Sawgrass' is the first of three in the season-long creator series, and will feature a number of huge names from social media and YouTube.

For 2025, the Bryan Bros (George and Wesley), Fat Perez from Bob Does Sports, Gabby Golf Girl and Roger Steele return, while four new creators will be added to the list.
Joining the quintet will be Grant Horvat, three-time World Long Drive champion Kyle Berkshire, Tisha Alyn, Soly from No Laying Up, and a member from Barstool, which will be determined via a qualifier.
Format-wise, it will consist of eight holes of stroke play beginning on the 10th hole of TPC Sawgrass and concluding on the iconic island-green par 3 17th. After all nine players have finished, the top three finishers will advance to a one-hole sudden death playoff, which again will be at the par 3 17th.
Luke Kwon celebrates his Creator Classic win at the Tour Championship
Pairings and tee times will be announced the day before the event, but one player who won't be featuring is Luke Kwon, who was the inaugural winner at the Tour Championship, held at East Lake.
Although the YouTube star won't be present in Florida, he is set to tee it up at the New Zealand Open at the end of the month on the Asian Tour, which also offers spots at The Open Championship. Kwon also played at two International Series events at the end of 2024, both of which are Asian Tour tournaments.
