Where can I watch the Creator Classic?

The final installment of the Creator Classic Series presented by YouTube is set to take place during the TOUR Championship at historic East Lake Golf Club on August 20th.

Fans can also catch the action on YouTube TV, GOLF Channel, ESPN+, and across the PGA TOUR FAST Channel network—available on platforms like Pluto TV, Roku, Samsung TV Plus, Prime Video, Fire TV, Tubi, Xumo Play, and LG Channels.

Who is in the field?

The field is officially as Daniel Saloner—better known as the “Short Game King”—who punched his ticket by winning the 2025 Creator Classic presented by YouTube Qualifier, held at East Lake on July 21. He joins a strong lineup of familiar faces from past Creator Classics. Among the headliners: defending champion Luke Kwon, Good Good’s Garrett Clark, Brad Dalke, and Sean Walsh. The roster also features fan favorites like Tisha Alyn, Sabrina Andolpho, Gabby Golf Girl, Peter Finch, Micah Morris, Chris Solomon, and Roger Steele.

What is the format?

Competitors will take on holes 10 through 17 at East Lake in an eight-hole, gross stroke-play format, with the top four scores—and any ties—advancing to a playoff on the Par 5 18th. Adding extra intensity to this year’s finale: a new, winner-take-all purse of $100,000.

Past Creator Classic champions include Grant Horvat, who claimed victory at TPC Sawgrass, and the trio of Josh Richards, Brad Dalke, and Erik Anders Lang, who teamed up to win at Philadelphia Cricket Club. Fans eager to witness the Creator Classic finale at East Lake in person can do so by purchasing a Wednesday grounds ticket to the TOUR Championship—an event proudly presented in partnership with Accenture, Coca-Cola, and Southern Company.

The Tour Championship will be held at East Lake Golf Club August 21st-24th, 2025. It’s the PGA TOUR Playoff’s final event, with top 30 players qualifying.
