When Luke Kwon won the inaugural Creator Classic a year ago, there were more than 118,000 people watching live on the PGA Tour’s YouTube channel as he sunk the winning putt.

This year? Only 27,000 people were streaming live on the Tour’s channel as Brad Dalke claimed the title with a birdie on the first playoff hole.

That dramatic decrease in live viewership underscores how the Creator Classic will have to continue evolving in order to hold our collective attention.

I was a big fan of the first edition we saw in 2024, writing that my impressions were overwhelmingly positive. The format was cool and there seemed to be a lot of positive energy around the event given a star-studded field of creators.

The second showing at TPC Sawgrass, won by Grant Horvat, was also a strong showing. I noted how there were still some tweaks to be made in order to keep things fresh—but the Creator Classic had a solid formula and plenty of buzz.

Golf, a sport enjoyed by millions worldwide, boasts a rich and fascinating history. Its origins are often debated, but most historians agree that a form of the game was played in Scotland as early as the 15th century.

Early Beginnings in Scotland

The first documented mention of golf comes from a 1457 Act of the Scottish Parliament, which banned the game because it was distracting men from archery practice, a vital skill for national defense. Despite the ban, the popularity of golf continued to grow, leading to further bans in 1471 and 1491.

The Rise of St. Andrews

St. Andrews, often referred to as the "Home of Golf," played a pivotal role in the sport's development. The Old Course at St. Andrews is believed to have been established in the 15th century, though the exact date is unknown. The earliest record of golf being played there dates back to 1552.

Scottie Scheffler says he prefers the format at this year's Tour Championship over last season's event, where he started with a 2-shot advantage.

In what amounts to a line extension targeting a narrow segment of golfers, PING has quietly added a 7.5° option to its G440 LST driver lineup, addressing specific fitting needs that emerged from Tour player feedback and consumer testing data.

Why the ultra-low loft option?

The addition of the 7.5° LST stems from a fundamental issue PING discovered with golfers seeking optimal trajectory control. While the G440 platform launches high by design (back CG designs will do that), some players found themselves in a fitting predicament when trying to optimize ball flight.

“We had a request from Tour to continue to try to optimize trajectory,” explains Ryan Stokke, Director of Product Design for PING. “Players wanted the ability to play less loft to really dial in trajectory.”

The problem wasn’t just about launch angle. “We also have players that had a sensitivity to the right bias,” Stokke noted. “To get to the launch that was desirable, they went to the big minus setting, but then the driver sat a little bit more open than was desirable.”

The neutral position advantage

The 7.5° LST solves this by providing ultra-low loft in the neutral (dot) position, allowing players to achieve lower launch while maintaining a square face angle at address.

Rory McIlroy, a three-time FedEx Cup champion, has the second-shortest odds to win this week's Tour Championship in Atlanta, and his odds are still five times longer than Scottie Scheffler's.

Mileseey Golf just released their GenePro G1 hybrid laser rangefinder GPS unit and it is amazing.

I probably should have built things up a bit before making that statement but this thing is just that cool. The Mileseey GenePro G1 rangefinder may be the most complete rangefinder system I’ve ever encountered.

Prior to the Mileseey GenePro S1 earning the Staff Pick in the 2025 Best Golf Rangefinder competition, I had never even heard of Mileseey.

(That’s is a little embarrassing since the company has been around since 2014.)

After running the GenePro G1 through the testing gauntlet, I believe Mileseey will soon be a name everyone recognizes.

We know six of the 12 Americans who will be competing at next month’s Ryder Cup.

Following the BMW Championship, these players qualified for the team via the points list: Scottie Scheffler, J.J. Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, Harris English and Bryson DeChambeau.

There are a few no-brainers on that list with Scheffler, Schauffele and DeChambeau being key pieces of the team’s core. DeChambeau made the team despite only earning points in the past eight major championships.

There are also a few surprises. Spaun had a breakout year after a journeyman career to this point. Henley is an ultra-consistent analytics darling but not known for rising to the occasion in big moments. And English is the feel-good story of the year, recovering from injury to regain form.

Who else will be on the team?
