Creator Classic at Philly Cricket: Golf Creators and YouTube Stars Tee Off

What Is the Creator Classic Series?

Started in March 2025 with its first event of the season at TPC Sawgrass, the Creator Classic Series is a groundbreaking initiative by the PGA TOUR to engage a diverse audience through digital content creators. Following the success of the inaugural event, which garnered 55 million users and 90 million impressions across social platforms, the Creator Classic at Philly Cricket aims to build on that momentum. A third event is scheduled later this year at the TOUR Championship at East Lake Golf Club, with details to be announced.

Chris Wandell, PGA TOUR Senior Vice President of Media, highlighted the event’s appeal: “The series continues to attract a diverse range of fans to the PGA TOUR platform... and we are eager to watch it grow further at The Philadelphia Cricket Club.”

Star-Studded Field and Team Format

The Creator Classic at Philly Cricket features a dynamic lineup of participants. YouTube sensations such as Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag (founder of 100 Thieves), technology influencer Marques Brownlee (MKBHD), Tyler Toney of Dude Perfect, and Josh Richards of the BFFs podcast will join forces with top golf content creators. Returning from the first event are Paige Spiranac, alongside Good Good Golf’s Brad Dalke and Sean Walsh. 

New faces include Sabrina Andolpho (Golf Girl Games), Erik Anders Lang (Random Golf Club), Claire Hogle, Josh Kelley (@HoleIn1TrickShots), and Matt Scharff (Good Good Golf).

The competition will unfold over nine holes (Nos. 10-17) in an alternate shot, gross score format. Four three-person teams—each consisting of one YouTuber and two golf creators—will battle it out, with the top two teams advancing to a sudden-death playoff on the par-4 18th hole. 

Groupings and tee times will be revealed on May 6, and fans can catch the team unveilings on April 28 through Dan Rapaport’s digital series, Dan on Golf.
