The Creator Classic at the Philadelphia Cricket Club’s Wissahickon Course, presented by YouTube, is a nine-hole golf event for social media influencers. The second edition will take place on Wednesday, May 7, before the Truist Championship.
It is not a typical PGA Tour tournament that includes professional golfers, but will feature golf influencers who might play college golf, make golf videos, or be retired professional golfers.
