Dude Perfect's Tyler Toney chipped in for birdie at Creator Classic, but who won?
The second of three events in the Creator Classic Series in 2025 is in the books at the site of the 2025 Truist Championship. None of the contestants from the the first Creator Classic held TPC Sawgrass were in the field at Philly Cricket but there were some returners from the inaugural Creator Classic ahead of the 2024 Tour Championship.
The trio of Josh Richards, Brad Dalke and Erik Anders Lang defeated the group of Marques Brownlee, Sean Walsh and Sabrina Andolpho at Philadelphia Cricket Club's Wissahickon Course to claim the third Creator Classic title on the playoff hole after eight holes of regulation.
The team of Marques Brownlee, Sean Walsh and Sabrina Andolpho led after the eight holes of regulation at 3 over but another team was needed for the playoff and after Paige Spiranac ringed the cup on a putt, the other three teams were all tied at 7 over. That led to a three-team chip-off. Brad Dalke, who chipped second, ended up the closest, so he and Josh Richards and Erik Anders Lang advanced to the one-hole playoff.
Shot of the day
The shot of the day came on the final hole of regulation. From behind the green, in the rough and having to get over a bunker, Dude Perfect's Tyler Toney chipped in for birdie. That got his team to 7 over and into a tie for second.

Spaniard veteran sizzles, claims another major crown
Miguel Angel Jimenez has won the Kaulig Companies Championship for his fourth PGA Tour Champions victory of the season, rallying to force a playoff and beating Steven Alker with a 20-foot birdie putt on the second extra hole. Two strokes down after playing partner Alker birdied the par-5 16th, Jimenez made a 10-foot birdie putt on the par-4 17th and an 18-footer on the par-4 18th. "I knew I had to make birdie-birdie to have any chance," Jimenez said. "I make birdie on the 17th, gives you wings to go to 18th, and then the rest is history." Tied for the lead entering Sunday's third and final round at Firestone South, the 61-year-old Jimenez and 53-year-old Kiwi Alker each shot two-under 68s to finish at 10-under 270 in the major championship. They each parred the 18th on the first playoff hole, with Jimenez missing an 18-foot birdie try and Alker holing a three-and-a-half footer to send it back to tee for a second extra hole. Before Jimenez's winning putt, Alker missed a 20-foot birdie try after a recovery shot from the trees right of the fairway. Cue the victory cigar 🔥Jiménez drained his birdie putt on the 2nd playoff hole to win @KauligChamp — PGA TOUR Champions (@ChampionsTour) June 22, 2025 Jimenez won his third major title after taking the Regions Tradition and the Senior British Open — both in 2018 — and earned a spot next year in The Players Championship at the TPC Sawgrass. The Spanish star has 17 career victories on 50-and-over tour. "It's very special," Jimenez said. "I win here and put my name beside of all the great names through the history of the golf tournaments here on this beautiful golf course. "Amazing that my game is still nice ... I hope it's not the last one." Jimenez beat Alker by two strokes in the Trophy Hassan II in February in Morocco, then won the Hoag Classic in March in Newport Beach, California, and the Principal Charity Classic in a playoff three weeks ago in Des Moines, Iowa. Stewart Cink (66) was third at eight under and fellow American Steve Flesch (65) was another stroke adrift. Australian's Richard Green (72) and Michael Wright (73) tied for seventh at three under, while compatriots Mark Hensby (71) and Steve Allan (69) also enjoyed top-20 finishes. The US Senior Open begins on Thursday at the Broadmoor in Colorado. With AAP.

Paige Spiranac's 'Niche' Gets Nod of Approval from Annika Sorenstam
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Paige Spiranac has never been just a social media personality - the 32-year-old has been shaping golf's reach for years. While she faced challenges during her brief pro golf career, stepping away from the LPGA never meant stepping away from the game. Instead, she built a brand that extends beyond the course. Be it golf rules, slow play, or the future of the sport, she always speaks her mind, and fans love her for that. Recently, the influential queen even got recognition from none other than Annika Sorenstam, the 10-time major winner and the LPGA's all-time earnings leader.

(Image Collage | Credits: Getty Images) Getty Images Speaking to Fox News Digital, Sorenstam gave her stamp of approval to Paige and other golf influencers, saying: "I think it is great. I just want more people to play, to enjoy it, to have a good time, and experience it, whether it comes from traditional golfers, you know, the way we used to watch it on TV or read about it in magazines or whatever." "Nowadays, information is shared differently, people get information in different places, so I think it is great." "They bring a different view or perspective into the sport. Whether it is fashion or trick shots, I mean they all have a little niche," she added. Spiranac has made her 'niche' undeniable over the years. Blending golf content, entertainment, fashion and viral trends, she keeps pulling in a new generation of fans. Not long ago, her presence was felt during the PGA Tour's events as well. Back in May, Spiranac hosted the Creator Classic at TPC Sawgrass, offering a fresh take on golf content, and was a key figure at the Philly Cricket Club event before the Truist Championship. The Creator Classic is today at TPC Sawgrass! I played in the first one at East Lake and today I'll be in a different role! — Paige spiranac (@LoveG20904) May 10, 2025 If that is not enough, her presence on podcasts, social media, and golf exhibitions speaks volumes. The ex-LPGA pro has kept herself deeply involved while challenging outdated norms, especially when it comes to women's apparel regulations and inclusivity. This ultimately also landed her in golf's most famous Netflix series, Happy Gilmore 2, alongside the biggest names like John Daly, Tiger Woods, Scottie Scheffler, Nelly Korda, Rory McIlroy and more. Summer just got happy-er. Adam Sandler stars in Happy Gilmore 2 arriving July 25. #TUDUM — Netflix (@netflix) June 1, 2025 Getting recognised is not just a win for Paige and other golf influencers, but a push for them to continue their efforts to expand the game. Alongside Spiranac, some other notable golf influencers are Grace Charis and Alyn, who have also built their loyal fan base over time.
