PAST QUALIFIERS & EVENTS

HOW IT WORKS FOR HOSTING SITE COURSES

Content Creator Invitational events involve using both the practice area (putting green + driving range) from 5:00PM-6:30PM then start on hole #1 at 6:30PM then play for 2 to 2.5 hours to complete the competition (on the course until 8:30PM). 

Course chooses a date that works best for them. Winning teams in events held before July 1 qualify for a chance to win a team spot in the 2025 3M Open Media Day and play at TPC Twin Cities the week before the PGA TOUR event.

Here’s how it works:

5:00PM-5:30PM: 20 contestants arrive and meet on the practice green for check-in and interviews.

5:30PM-6:30PM: Skills challenges on the putting green, chipping area and driving range.

6:30PM-8:30PM: Ten 2-person teams start on hole #1 and play an elimination shootout with at least one team eliminated per hole. All golfers play the same hole together for maximum engagement and drama.

• Hole 1 = 1 team eliminated

• Hole 2 = 9 teams compete with 2 teams eliminated

• Hole 3 = 7 teams compete with 2 teams eliminated

• Hole 4 = 5 teams compete with 2 teams eliminated

• Hole 5 = 3 teams compete with 1 team eliminated

• Hole 6-9 = 2 teams compete head-to-head in Sudden Death style. If teams reach 9 green without elimination, a greenside competition determines the winner.

Course logistics:

• Non-exclusive use of the range & practice green needed 5:00PM-6:30PM.

• Teesheet blocked from 6:30PM on to accommodate the group play from 6:30PM-8:30PM on the front 9.

• 24 riding carts needed for use from 6:30PM-8:30PM (10 for teams, 10 for team media person, 4 for event management staff).

• No charge to the event for use of course & carts.

• No course staff needed during the event.

All 20 golfers will play together accompanied by media (max of 10) and each team will bring a Team Caddy fan to assist during play. The caddies will walk along and fill divots, rake bunkers, etc to assist with course maintenance and pace of play.

44 total participants per event:

• 20 golfers (need 10 carts)

• 10 media people (1 cart per media person per team)

• 10 team caddies (walk alongs)

• 4 Content Creator Invitational staff
