In a press release, Chris Wandell, the PGA Tour's Senior Vice President of Media said that TPC Sawgrass was a great place to start the Creator Classic series this year.

“There is arguably no better place to kick off our season-long creator series than on The Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, where the iconic 17th hole represents the culmination of this first competition,” Wandell said.

The final two events in the Creator series will be held later this year at the Wissahickon Course at the Philadelphia Cricket Club, and the East Lake Golf Club.
