LIV Golf's 'The Duels' Teams Pros with YouTube Stars in Exciting New Event
  • This initiative is reminiscent of the PGA Tour's 'Creator Classic', which has expanded from a single event in 2024 to multiple events in 2025.

  • However, the event will not include popular LIV golfers such as Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, or Brooks Koepka, who may be featured in future events.

  • The most recent Creator Classic took place at TPC Sawgrass, where Grant Horvat emerged as the winner.

  • LIV Golf is set to launch an exciting new event called 'The Duels' on April 5, 2025, which will pair professional golfers with popular YouTube content creators.

  • This innovative event will consist of six teams, each made up of one LIV Golf professional and one YouTube golfer, competing in a 9-hole scramble format.

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

  • Wesley Bryan, primarily known as a YouTube golfer, has a notable professional history, including a victory at the RBC Heritage in 2017.

  • The Duels is part of LIV Golf's strategy to engage with the rapidly growing audience of golf content creators.

  • Notable pairings for the competition include Phil Mickelson teaming up with Grant Horvat, Sergio Garcia with George Bryan, and Bubba Watson alongside Luke Kwon.

  • It's important to note that LIV Golf events are classified as non-sanctioned by the PGA Tour, meaning that members must seek permission to participate.
