This is a busy time of year for us all, even YouTube golfers. But instead of decking the halls, they\u2019re hitting drivers off the deck. That\u2019s good news for the rest of us as we venture off to our holiday destinations (a crowded airport, the in-laws\u2019 WiFi-less cabin, the community theater for a rousing rendition of \u2018The Nutcracker\u2019) in search of some much-needed respite.<\/p>\n
Player of the Year, Non-PGA Tour Edition <\/p>\n
It\u2019s been a HELL of year for Brad Dalke. This spring, YouTube golf fans were grumbling. Good Good had lost its magic. It had gone too mainstream. The retooled roster had no chemistry. Blah, blah, blah. Fast forward six months, and Brad Dalke\u2014a guy who the Redditors were saying just didn\u2019t fit\u2014is now the hottest commodity in unprofessional golf. Go figure.<\/p>\n
In August, the former National Championship-winning Oklahoma Sooner won the Creator Classic with a birdie putt in the pouring rain to take home the $100,000 top prize. Though we didn\u2019t know it yet, Dalke had also just won the yet-to-be-aired Internet Invitational, claiming a third of the $1-million winner\u2019s purse. Throughout the finale, Dalke carried teammates Francis Ellis and Cody \u2018Beef\u2019 Franke (rest in peace), executing tour-level shot after tour-level enroute to Internet infamy.<\/p>\n
In the weeks since the Internet Invitational\u2019s conclusion, Dalke has become the hottest commodity in YouTube golf. He\u2019s been the given the \u2018What\u2019s in the Bag?\u2019 treatment from endemic equipment manufacturers like Callaway and appeared as a guest on countless channels as everyone scrambled for their piece of the Brad brand. That continued this week, as Dalke joined George and Wesley Bryan, as well as fellow Good Good stick Sean Walsh, for a 2v2 scramble match designed to answer one very simple question:<\/p>\n
Who is the best golfer on YouTube?<\/p>\n

As Dalke explained, the definitive answer to that question will have to wait for a planned four-day series with a collection of the best players from across the Internet, but this quick two-man scramble provided a nice preview. There\u2019s been a lot of debate in the wake of the Internet Invitational about whether Dalke or Wesley Bryan is the best golfer on YouTube, and this video provides a great opportunity to compare the pair\u2019s strengths and weaknesses side by side. That said, we think we know who Wesley is voting for and, spoiler alert, it\u2019s not himself.<\/p>\n
Ppl act like I didn\u2019t watch the best players in the world week in and week out for years. What i saw out of brad was top 10 in the world talent\u2026.and a guy that was hitting shots that were built for contending at majors. All these golf experts in this thread can pipe it down \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n
\u2014 Wesley Bryan (@wesleybryangolf) December 2, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Brad Dalke, hypothetical Ryder Cup hero? We don\u2019t know about all that, but his teammates and competitors at the Internet Invitational also seems to agree with Bryan\u2019s take.<\/p>\n Having Brad Dalke on your team in a high-anxiety tournament is unlike anything I\u2019ve ever experienced. The man is a human beta blocker. You know he\u2019s there, you know he\u2019s coming, and you know he\u2019ll solve whatever problems you put him in. He is my legitimate hero. I love the guy pic.twitter.com\/y2vFuKIjCB<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Francis (@franciscellis) November 11, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Luke Kwon thinks Brad Dalke is the best player in the YouTube creator scene, ahead of Wesley Bryan, but Bryson DeChambeau doesn\u2019t count!<\/p>\n I\u2019m not a huge YouTube guy, so what are your thoughts on this?
