The inaugural Creator Classic, featuring 16 golf influencers, has ended with Luke Kwon taking the title at East Lake.
The tournament was played over the back nine at the venue for the Tour Championship, with personalities including the Bryan Bros, Good Good members Garrett Clark, Brad Dalke and Sean Walsh and Paige Spiranac in the field.
The players teed it up in four groups of four for eight holes of strokeplay, with the top four sure of progressing to a one-hole playoff.
Wesley and George Bryan, Tyler Toney and Gabby DeGasperis, aka ‘Gabby Golfgirl,’ were the first to test their abilities on the newly restored course. However, while they all made steady starts, Garrett Clark, a player in the second group to go out, set the early pace with a birdie on the 10th.

Back on the 12th, Luke Kwon moved within two of the lead with his second birdie in succession to remain in contention. Then, on 13, Amiee Cho moved level with Steele at one-under with a beautiful chip-in for birdie.

At the same hole, Steele had a birdie putt to draw level with Bryan, but his effort lipped out to leave him one off the lead. That was quickly followed by a successful Walsh birdie putt as he joined Cho and Steele in a tie for second. Soon after, on the 14th, Dalke made a birdie to join the group.
