The inaugural Creator Classic on Wednesday at East Lake Golf Club on the eve of the Tour Championship seemed like a great idea to showcase golf in a different way. But the 16 participants, a collection of many of the world’s best golf content creators, actually came to compete and not necessarily to entertain. To that end, they succeeded with some quality golf. But their seriousness demeanors kind of got in the way of showcasing why they were invited in the first place.
Isn’t serious golf supposed to come Thursday when the PGA Tour’s season-ending $100 million Tour Championship commences?
Still, the affair was largely a success because good golf always gets appreciated.
A proper champion was crowned in Luke Kwon, a former winner on PGA Tour China, who birdied the final hole to win the four-man shootout. Kwon, 31, sank a 10-footer on the par-five 18th hole to beat Wesley Bryan, Sean Walsh and long-hitting Roger Steele. Kwon won a handsome cup and a 36-inch griddle from Blackstone, the sponsor of the event.
