Only hours to go for the 2025 Truist Championship to tee off, and fans are treated to another exclusive PGA Tour event. Bringing all the best social media stars together, Jay Monahan & Co. hosted the second Creator Classic of the year at the Philadelphia Cricket Club. Famous content creators like Paige Spiranac, Sean Walsh, and Claire Hogle were all part of the field that saw four teams of three going head-to-head on YouTube.
However, the event didn’t pan out as Monahan & Co. were expecting due to one big reason: lack of star power on the field. The likes of Grant Horvat, the crew of Fore Play, Bob Does Sports, and many other creators were missing from the field. The only prominent golf influencer on the course was perhaps Spiranac, who received very little screen time. That seemed to have infuriated the fans.
The PGA Tour released footage of the winner’s putt after the conclusion of the event. The caption to the PGA Tour’s tweet read, “A winning putt from Team Richards clinches the Creator Classic at Philly Cricket Club .” However, the fans were not impressed by the lineup in the first place and shared their peace of mind with Monahan & Co.

Netizens call Creator Classic a snoozefest
With none of their favorite golf creators on the field, the golf community didn’t find the Creator Classic at Philly that interesting. As one fan pointed out, “Bad creator classic no @bryanbrosgolf no @ForePlayPod just brutal boyys stop with the goofy goodies.” They were hoping to see the team of Fore Play Podcast on the field this week. However, Wesley Bryan’s ban from the PGA Tour would have made it difficult for the Bryan Bros to participate in the event.
