Liv Golf is taking his turn with the creators of content.

The ‘independent contractors’ could have always been YouTube players. This is very clear with the latest news from Liv Golf: A announcement of a new event for pairing players Liv Liv like Phil Mickelson with their YouTube counterparts like Grant Horvat.
On April 5, Liv will launch ‘The Duels’, a 6 -team clash, with 9 holes with each team that has a Liv Pro united by a content creator. It is understood that the event will be filmed on Thursday afternoon of Livi’s Miami Week (April 3) with covering the competition that debuts online on Saturday. The teams are as follows:
Sergio Garcia and George Bryan
Bubba Watson and Luke Kwon
Joaquin Niemann and Rick Shiels
Phil Mickelson and Grant Horvat
Dustin Johnson and Wesley Bryan
Cameron Smith and Fat Perez
The event will take place during the Miami Liv event in Trump Doral and its production will live exclusively on the Grant Horvat channel. Horvat has created numerous videos with Mickelson in recent months, with both those facing other couples like John Daly and his son, John Daly Jr.
Duels is certainly the same family with content as PGA Tour “Classic Creator,” A series of events that accumulate well-known YouTube players against each other in a 9-hole hook competition on Wednesday afternoon in tours known as the Tour championship or player championship. What started as a single event in 2024 is now a series of events in 2025. The most recent iteration It took place two weeks ago at TPC Sawgrass and was won by Horvat.

Horvat, Shiels, Perez and Kwon play their tournament golf almost exclusively on YouTube, but Wesley Bryan is technically different. Bryan has had a fruitful pro -career that peaked at PGA Tour when won RBC Heritage in 2017 after winning three times on the Corn Ferry tour in 2016 to win a battlefield promotion.
Bryan has kept his membership in the tournament most of the years since year, and simply barely lost in maintaining full membership for 2025. He is currently considered a PGA member with “conditional status” and may enter the tours from Slot 126 to 150 from the list of FedEx Cup points. Three tours earlier this season – American Express, Farmers Insurance Open and Puerto Rico Open. He was tied to the 25th on the farmers and lost cutting to others.
Most importantly, Golf Livi events are still considered non -sanctioned tours by PGA Tour, even in our era of Investment negotiations In the White House between the tournament and the Saudi PIF. In order for a tour of the tournament to compete in a non -sanctioned event played during a special tournament, they will have to seek a release from the media rights agreement that they signed with the tournament at the start of the season. This would apply to Bryan, but the demands for him and PGA Tour for comment are unanswered so far.
Especially missing from the duets is Bryson Dechambeau – who has followed Golf fans on YouTube more than any golf players in recent months – Jon Rahm and Brooks Koepka. Surely, that threesome constitutes Liv Golf’s three most trading assets. It is possible that LIV will watch this competition in the next events, where Rahm, Koepka and Dechambeau may be further included.
