The co-founder of Pro Shop Chad Mumm said this Series is about shining a spotlight on dynamic creators.

"The Creator Classic Series is about shining a spotlight on dynamic creators and their relatable personalities more so than witnessing world-class golf shots or success on the course," said Chad Mumm, co-founder of Pro Shop.

"As we introduce new YouTube creators and their respective fans to the world of professional golf, constructing a team event that welcomes an even more diverse array of skillsets was the natural next step in the series’ return."
