YouTube golf has officially entered its tour era.
Your Golf Tour brings together 16 full-time players, including four captains, plus a new wildcard for each team at every regular-season stop. The first event carried a $500,000 team purse, including $250,000 for the winning team. After two more stops, the season ends with an individual championship at Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas and $1 million on the line.
Serious money. Serious players. Still very much YouTube golf.
Grant Horvat, Wesley Bryan, George Bryan and Brad Dalke have launched Your Golf Tour (YGT). The new creator led golf series brings together 16 of the biggest and best golfers on YouTube for high stakes competition, team events and a $1 million season finale in Las Vegas.
This isn’t a casual nine hole match squeezed between trick shots and questionable golf bets. YGT was built to give talented creator golfers a place to compete under real pressure while keeping the personalities, access and storytelling that made YouTube golf popular in the first place.
The tour is led by four captains:
Together, the captains and 12 drafted players make up a 16-player roster that includes names like Micah Morris, Garrett Clark, Josh Kelley, Luke Kwon, Peter Finch, Roger Steele, Ryan Ruffels, Sean Walsh and Taco Golf. Wildcard players will also enter the mix throughout the season.
YGT blends serious competition with the parts of YouTube golf fans already love. Viewers get more access to the players, more personality between shots and more of the story behind every decision. But once the players step onto the course, there’s real money and plenty of pride on the line.
The regular season uses team competition, with the four captains selecting players and competing through changing formats. Wildcards can join the teams at each stop, adding another layer of strategy and giving more golfers an opportunity to earn their way into the action.
Episodes are released across the Grant Horvat Golf, Bryan Bros Golf and official YGT YouTube channels. That means each event unfolds over multiple videos instead of being crammed into one traditional broadcast.
The season includes stops at:
After the team portion of the season, everything leads to an individual championship at Wynn Las Vegas with a $1 million championship purse on the line.
Each captain drafted three full-time players. A new wildcard joins each team at every regular-season stop.
Team Wesley: Wesley Bryan, Ryan Ruffels, Micah Morris and Roger Steele
Team George: George Bryan, Luke Toomey, Taco Golf and Josh Kelley
Team Brad: Brad Dalke, Sean Walsh, Peter Finch and Garrett Clark
Team Grant: Grant Horvat, Luke Kwon, Sam Heung Min and Chance Taylor
YGT opened its season at FarmLinks at Pursell Farms, a course that has become a familiar backdrop for some of YouTube golf’s biggest events.
Event 1 also introduced the wildcard wrinkle. Each team added one guest player for the stop: John Peterson joined Team Wesley, JP Méhu joined Team George, Ben Hadden joined Team Brad and Michael Block joined Team Grant. The wildcard changes at every regular season event, giving captains another decision to make and bringing a few new faces into the competition each time.
And what played out across three videos, released on three different YouTube channels, wasn’t a content shoot disguised as a tournament. It was true competition.
A few spoilers ahead...
Brad Dalke shot a 62. Wesley Bryan’s team took the finale all the way to the last match. And Micah Morris started his singles match birdie, birdie, eagle. Arms up, cameras on him, Garrett Clark suddenly staring at a four-shot deficit before the match had really settled in.
It was one match in a much bigger event, but it showed exactly what Your Golf Tour is trying to be: familiar YouTube personalities playing golf that actually matters.
With the opening event complete, golf fans now have teams to follow, scores to debate and several more events to see whether the first leaderboard holds up.
YouTube golf isn’t just a place to watch equipment reviews, course vlogs and friendly matches anymore.
Many of its biggest creators are accomplished competitive golfers. YGT gives them a structured place to test their games while still creating content around the experience. Fans don’t have to choose between good golf and entertaining golf. The entire point is to deliver both.
It also gives viewers something traditional tournament coverage rarely provides: the ability to follow the players through nearly every part of the experience. Practice rounds, team decisions, mistakes, reactions and conversations can all become part of the story.
That connection is what helped creator golf grow. YGT simply adds a scoreboard, teams and a much larger pile of money.
Carl’s Place fans will recognize some familiar faces among the YGT roster.
Both Micah Morris and Josh Kelley practice on Carl’s Place golf simulators. Micah delivered one of Event 1’s hottest starts, while Josh joined George Bryan for a five-under opening scramble. They earned their spots because they can flat out play.
Micah built his game around serious practice and competitive golf, including plenty of work inside his home golf simulator. His setup inspired the Micah Morris Foresight Golf Star Bundle, which combines a Carl’s Place Pro Golf Enclosure with Foresight Sports technology, a 4K projector and a HotShot Golf Mat.
Josh built his simulator in a pole barn with a Pro Enclosure, Rapsodo MLM2PRO and BenQ AK700ST projector.
Their setups point to something bigger about this generation of competitive golfers. Indoor practice, online content and high level competition are all part of the same routine now. YGT may be the clearest example yet of how reps put in indoors show up when the competition moves outside.
