One of the great parts of YouTube golf is that we get to have fun debates about how good these golfers actually are.
Figuring out who reigns supreme among the content creators is an ever-evolving task—but we can make some educated guesses based on the handicaps they have during videos.
I recently came across a Reddit user (u/Handicap-Tracker) who built a basic site that tracks YouTube golfers’ handicaps based on videos they post. It’s a leaderboard of all the creators, which is really cool.
He admits there is some noise in the numbers since so many YouTube videos are match play involving concessions. Altered lies or re-hit shots are a possibility. Obviously, some, if not most, of these golfers are playing off-camera golf that isn’t included in these calculations.
These numbers are fluctuating all the time so this list is just a snapshot of where things currently stand.
Nonetheless, it is an interesting look at the top YouTube golfers (by the way, Riggs is listed as a 7.6).
Where to draw the line at “YouTube golfer” is another discussion. Personally, I would not include full-time tour professionals (sorry, Bryson) but would include part-time professionals if they don’t have status anywhere.
You could probably argue either way with someone like Wesley Bryan who was suspended from the PGA Tour back in April after participating in LIV Duels. Bryan would have been No. 2 on this list but I feel like he’s still a pro given that he made 18 Tour starts in 2024.
I also made some executive decisions with some YouTube golfers who have very small channels and may not be considered full-time creators. Fewer than 200,000 subscribers means you didn’t make the cut.
I also only chose golfers who have posted at least 10 rounds this year.
Don’t like it? Take it up with the committee. (I am the committee and your appeal has been denied.)
Here are the top 10 YouTube golfers (counting down for dramatic effect).
10. Grant Horvat (+2.9)
Perhaps the most popular solo act on YouTube golf, Horvat’s game is good enough to get an invite to a Tour event (which he turned down).
Horvat may get left in the dust by the Bryan Bros. during their major cut series but he still has a great golf swing and can really play at a high level.
9. Jimmy Bullard (+3.0)
The former Premier League footballer turned golf enthusiast co-hosts the Golf Life channel where tons of matches are played.
There is no doubt Bullard can play. Just check out the above video.
8. Garrett Clark (+3.2)
We all know Clark from Good Good and GM Golf so it’s no surprise to see him up here.
He may look like an average golfer when compared to some other members of Good Good (coming up on this list) but Clark is a strong player in his own right.
7. Ben Kruper (+3.2)
This came as a surprise to me because I don’t know much about Kruper.
Known as the “Pause King” for the pause at the top of his swing, Kruger can absolutely smash it and regularly finds himself in the red numbers.
One look at his swing and you can see why he’s among the top YouTube golfers.
6. Tae-Wook Koh (+3.2)
Better known as Taco, Koh has an underappreciated channel with Taco Golf.
He’s gifted at mimicking swings of Tour pros but his own swing is pretty damn good. Koh and Luke Kwon are regularly featured in videos together on the channel which makes for a lot of entertainment.
5. Kyle Berkshire (+4.4)
The former long-drive pro has some insane distance off the tee. He doesn’t even need to hit driver most of the time.
While the rest of his game doesn’t always add up, his power advantage is incredibly helpful. A few months ago, he shot 6-under 66 at Payne’s Valley—a sign of what he can do when things get rolling.
4. Micah Morris (+4.5)
Viewership on the Micah Morris channel has been minimal compared to many of his peers but his golf game is still very solid.
Four of his last five posted scores have been 2-under or better. The former Good Good member can play.
3. Sean Walsh (+5.1)
One of two Good Good members on this list, Walsh is a killer.
The former Gonzaga University standout has taken it deep a few times this year like when he shot a 10-under 62 at Shangri-La in October.
He’s susceptible to the odd terrible round but those don’t factor into the handicap equation. Almost all of his counting scores are under-par efforts.
2. George Bryan (+5.2)
Bryan has only made three Tour starts and has rarely held status anywhere so I feel like he’s fair game to include on the top YouTube golfer list.
This matches the eye test as Bryan has played some strong golf throughout 2025. His recent video with brother Wesley and Ian Poulter saw him shoot 6-under 66 at Lake Nona, which is no pushover of a course.
Of all YouTube golfers, I wish I had Bryan’s swing the most. It’s so efficient.
1. Brad Dalke (+7.3)
Yeah, this checks out.
Dalke won the Creator Classic back in August and also led his team to an Internet Invitational victory, so he’s been red-hot recently.
The Good Good team member hinted about giving pro golf another shot in 2026. He has the pedigree for it after nearly winning the U.S. Amateur and helping his Oklahoma Sooners squad to a NCAA Championship in 2016.
He might be the only one on this list who could legitimately compete at the highest level.
Was there anyone on this list (or missing from it) who surprised you?
Let me know below in the comments.

Where is Wesley Bryan on this list, He is a Youtibe golfer, since he has been suspended by the PGA Tour, I mean a PGA tournament winner and a runner up in the last couple of years. Cmon, pay attention.
