  • Viewers can expect shot-by-shot coverage along with commentary from comedian Andrew Santino and other golf personalities.

  • LIV Golf is set to launch a new event called 'The Duels' on April 5, 2025, pairing professional golfers with popular YouTube content creators.

  • This unique nine-hole scramble event will feature six teams, each consisting of one LIV Golf pro and one social media influencer.

  • Notable participants include golf legends like Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, and Dustin Johnson, paired with influencers such as Grant Horvat and Robby Berger.

  • Specific pairings include Phil Mickelson with Grant Horvat, Sergio Garcia with George Bryan, and Bubba Watson with Luke Kwon.

  • 'The Duels' is modeled after the PGA Tour's Creator Classic, which took place just before The Players Championship.

  • This initiative reflects LIV Golf's strategy to engage with the growing audience of golf content creators.

  • It is important to note that LIV Golf events are non-sanctioned by the PGA Tour, requiring members to seek permission to participate.

  • The event will be filmed during LIV’s Miami week at Trump Doral and will debut online the following Saturday.

  • Notably, popular LIV golfers Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and Brooks Koepka will not participate in this event, although they may be included in future ones.

  • The Duels represents an evolution of the PGA Tour's Creator Classic, which has expanded from a single event in 2024 to multiple events in 2025.

  • The event will take place during the LIV Golf Miami tournament, which runs from April 4-6, 2025, at Trump National Doral's Blue Monster.
