2025 The Duels: All You Need to Know About LIV Golf’s Creator Event

What if we throw some extra fun into golf’s big money mix? Sounds like a win, right? After the PGA Tour’s Creator’s Classic at TPC Sawgrass, it’s now LIV Golf’s turn with a similar, new format. Taking a page from the PGA Tour’s playbook, LIV is introducing its version of the Classic—welcome to The Duels.

This event isn’t just about the pros. It’s about bringing together elite golfers and top content creators for a fast-paced, high-energy showdown. And, in an interesting twist, you’ll even see some PGA Tour stars teeing it up here. (Not saying it’s a soft launch of the merger, but, if you wanted to think that, who’s stopping you?) So, what’s The Duels all about? Let’s see.

What’s the buzz around ‘The Duels’?

LIV Golf is bringing something new to the table, and this time, it’s not your typical pro tour! If you have been discussing this with your golf buddies, you know it’s worth the hype. The event is one of a kind, where you get to see the perfect amalgamation of entertainment and competition. Picture this: six of LIV Golf’s biggest stars teaming up with six of the top golf content creators for an unforgettable showdown. It’s all happening on April 5 at Trump Doral Golf Club in Miami.

You can catch the complete action from home on Grant Horvat’s YouTube channel. And it’s not just a fun match—it’s got some serious stakes with $250,000 on the line. But don’t be surprised if its format and banter steal the show. It’s pretty simple! The game is a nine-hole scramble. Each team, consisting of one pro and a content creator, takes a shot, and then they play from the better one, keeping it fast, and fun.

Now, if you’re wondering how the creators will hold their own against the golf pros, well, that’s the fun part. The whole concept of The Duels is designed to give creators a chance to shine while the pros bring their best moves to the table. Interesting, right? So, what was the idea behind this?

Why does this event matter?

“At LIV Golf, we champion bold, new approaches to the game, and The Duels is a perfect example of how golf continues to evolve and engage fans,” said Adam Harter, the Chief Marketing Officer of LIV Golf. The event is going bonkers over celebrating the creator community and connecting them with the best golfers out there. It’s a perfect blend of high-energy play and the vibe of social media, aiming to engage both die-hard fans and casual viewers.

Think of it like golf, but with a fresh twist—it’s less about the usual grind of a tournament and more about making the game exciting and relatable for a whole new generation of fans. From Sergio Garcia and George Bryan to Dustin Johnson & Wesley Bryan, many professionals are set to charge the greens. Besides, Bubba Watson and Luke Kwon, Phil Mickelson, who described LIV as “a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” and Grant Horvat, Cameron Smith and Fat Perez, and Joaquin Niemann and Rick Shiels are other star groups in the scramble format. Big names, epic swings, and some fun personalities—what else could you ask for?

So, whether you’re into golf or just love a good show, The Duels has something for everyone. You won’t want to miss this one! What are your thoughts on the event? Is it ready to bring something ultra new?
