LIV Golf Unveils 'The Duels': Pro Golfers Team Up with YouTubers for Unique Event in 2025
March 26, 2025
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.
