Brad Dalke, one of the best players in the YouTube golf world, will make his professional PGA Tour debut at this year's Good Good Championship.

Brad Dalke, one of the top names in YouTube golf, is set to make his professional PGA Tour debut at the inaugural Good Good Championship this November—a moment that bridges the gap between digital content creation and professional competition.

The 28-year-old golf content creator, who won the Junior PGA Championship and helped lead the University of Oklahoma to a national title nearly a decade ago, has received a sponsor's exemption into the Nov. 12-15 event at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa in Austin, Texas. Dalke has been a key part of Good Good's YouTube platform for three years and recently launched the Good Good Pros channel alongside fellow member Sean Walsh.

"It's something I dreamed of since I was little," said Dalke, who committed to Oklahoma at just 12 years old. "It's really cool that we've been able to connect both worlds and I'm super excited."

Dalke's path to this moment has been anything but ordinary. After winning the Junior PGA Championship in 2015 and finishing runner-up at the U.S. Amateur Championship in 2016, he earned invitations to the 2017 Masters Tournament and the U.S. Open. While those are major championships, neither counted as official PGA Tour events. Dalke missed the cut in both majors, posting rounds of 72, 76, 78, and 78. He also missed the cut at the PGA Tour's Valero Texas Open in 2016 while still an amateur in college.

Now regarded as one of the best players in the YouTube golf world, Dalke stepped away from the grind of professional golf in 2023, leaving the Korn Ferry Tour to focus on creating content. The Good Good Championship could mark the first step toward a return to competitive play at the highest level.

Dalke's PGA Tour debut also represents a major milestone for Good Good, which launched on YouTube in 2020 and has quickly become one of the most recognizable brands in the modern golf landscape. As Dalke put it, "Early on in my life, when Tiger came into the golf universe, that was a huge step"—and now, he's taking a big step of his own, bringing the YouTube golf community to the professional stage.
