Here’s a ranked breakdown of the Creator Classic at Philly Cricket, featuring YouTube stars and golf content creators in a team alternate-shot format on the eve of the Truist Championship:

🏆 1. Team Richards (+150) — Favorites

Participants: Josh Richards (Captain), Brad Dalke, Erik Anders Lang
Why They’re Ranked #1:

  • Brad Dalke is the ringer here — he’s played in the Masters, giving this team serious pedigree.

  • Erik Anders Lang has legit distance (carrying it nearly 290 yards) and course IQ.

  • Josh Richards brings star power and leadership, plus the foresight to assemble a balanced team.
    Strength: Strongest combination of power, experience, and chemistry.


🥈 2. Team Brownlee (+250)

Participants: Marques Brownlee (Captain), Sean Walsh, Sabrina Andolpho
Why They’re a Contender:

  • Sean Walsh was clutch in the inaugural Creator Classic, playing East Lake in -1 (rare in this crowd).

  • Sabrina Andolpho is consistent and team-tested from YouTube’s match play formats.

  • MKBHD is no casual fan—he’s well-versed in golf and thrives under competitive formats. X-Factor: Team balance and Walsh’s high floor.


🥉 3. Team Lowry (+400)

Participants: Kyle Lowry (Captain), Josh Kelley, Claire Hogle
Why They Could Surprise:

  • Kyle Lowry, an NBA champ and Philly native, could get serious crowd support.

  • Claire Hogle and Josh Kelley are well-known YouTube golfers with strong match-play resumes.

  • Chemistry could be their edge in alternate shot.
    Wildcard: Emotional lift from Philly fans backing Lowry at home.


🧨 4. Team Toney (+600) — Underdogs

Participants: Tyler Toney (Captain), Matt Scharff, Paige Spiranac
Why They’re a Long Shot:

  • Toney struggled in Atlanta’s edition, and alternate shot is an unforgiving format.

  • Spiranac and Scharff have the potential to pop, but it’ll take a hot putting day.

  • They need everything to click to make the playoff hole. Hope: One big putt or spark could flip the script — especially in a short 8-hole format.


📋 Format Reminder:

  • Teams of 3 (1 YouTube creator + 2 golf creators)

  • 8-hole alternate shot (holes 10–17, gross score, no gimmes)

  • Top 2 teams → playoff hole (No. 18) to decide the winner
