These 10 YouTube Golf Channels Are Growing Rapidly

Based on all of the survey and analytic data we have here at MGS, our readers are more invested in YouTube golf than ever before.

That’s why we are increasing our coverage of the space. While we’ve been writing about our favorite channels, the top video instructors and Bryson DeChambeau’s rise to prominence on the platform, you can look forward to these efforts being more than tripled as we head toward 2025.

One area that you, the reader, have expressed interest is in finding which channels are doing well at the moment. What is trending in the YouTube golf world? Where you can find the most popular, thriving channels?

This is a lot different than pure subscriber or view counts. There are a lot of channels that have been around for more than a decade so they naturally have more views and subscribers than some younger channels.

But this list is simply meant to reflect what viewers are attracted to at this moment in time. And when I say this moment in time, I’m referring to the past 12 months.

Keep in mind that this is constantly changing so the numbers I have here will be slightly different every day. I pulled these this week, though, so it should be an accurate reflection of which channels are trending.

Here are 10 YouTube golf channels that are crushing it in 2024:

1. Bryson DeChambeau

Well, this should come as no surprise.

In a ranking of fastest-growing viewership, DeChambeau’s channel laps the competition several times over. Compared to 2023, Bryson’s channel viewership is up about 1,300 percent. His videos have accumulated 191 million views in the past 12 months which easily outpaces every other channel. Bryson also has more than 1.5 million subscribers and is projected to surpass GoodGood (1.7M) within the next six months.

His Breaking 50 series, which I wrote about recently, is leading the charge—but don’t underestimate all of the collabs he has with other YouTubers (a couple are on this list).

Oh, and he won the U.S. Open this year. That certainly didn’t hurt.

DeChambeau is the current king of YouTube golf.

2. Random Golf Club

Random Golf Club is more of a niche channel (only 298,000 subs) with a modest viewership. However, I’m encouraged by the channel’s 222 percent growth rate in viewership this year.

The channel, which features the escapades of Erik Anders Lang, mostly focuses on matches and challenges. I am particularly enamored of their “Breaking” series which takes four golfers of varying skill levels as they each try to shoot a certain score on the same course.

The production quality is outstanding and I’m happy to pump the tires for a smaller channel that has been making some headway.

3. Bryan Bros. Golf

Although they have a long way to go to catch up to the most popular YouTube golf channels, Wesley and George Bryan have made substantial progress in 2024.

Not only is viewership up about 116 percent but the Bryan Bros. channel has added 165,000 subscribers in the past 12 months, 50K more than their previous baseline. That has helped them hit 30 million views in the past 12 months.

The Bryan Bros. have been heavy into collabs including one with Dude Perfect. Dude Perfect is a golf-adjacent channel with nearly 61 million subscribers. They have more than 17 billion views all-time, putting them in the top 300 for all of YouTube.

Those collabs are serving this channel well. The Bryan Bros. have the advantage of being professional golfers so it’s no wonder why people want to tune into their matches against lesser talents to see how everything shakes out.

4. Paige Spiranac

Spiranac has recently come out with a series of “golf beginner” videos explaining basic concepts and providing lesson material. “What tee box should you be playing?” is an example of the type of content you can find on her channel. She will also sprinkle in some matches and other videos.

That strategy has worked as Spiranac’s viewership is up 108 percent in the past year, putting her around 26 million views for the past 12 months. Her frequency is much lower than other channels but people are connecting with her videos. I’m interested to see if that continues in 2025.

Obviously Spiranac doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel to get an audience. It’s more about how much of an investment she makes into YouTube compared to other platforms like Instagram.

5. Grant Horvat

I think Horvat is the runner-up star of YouTube golf in 2024.

He has become a top five channel for total viewership. At his current pace—an improvement of 93 percent over the past 12 months—Horvat will inevitably surpass other channels like GoodGood and Rick Shiels that have seen their growth slow. He has added more than 400K subs in the past year, up more than 183K from the previous period. That puts him at nearly 900,000 subs overall.

Horvat’s success starts with his sunny disposition. He’s an easy protagonist to root for in a video.

I give him a lot of credit for getting guests like Josh Allen and Collin Morikawa. He’s shot a few videos with Bryson, which certainly helps.

Horvat is definitely on the rise.

6. Golf Sidekick

Another niche channel similar in scope to Random Golf Club, Golf Sidekick offers some comedic relief and valuable lessons about course management.

The channel has a modest 15 million views in the past 12 months but is up 53 percent and the subscriber rate is also up more than 50 percent. Total subs (just over 300K) are much lower that other channels but the growth is steady and encouraging.

Similar to other channels, Golf Sidekick has a “breaking” series where he talks about how a healthy mental attitude can help golfers break 100, 90, 80 or even 70. The channel lacks the outstanding production quality of others but is a total riot of laughter.

7. Chris Ryan

On the instructor side, Chris Ryan had a nice year by increasing viewership 15 percent while adding another 43,000 subscribers. A few notable YouTube golf teachers like Danny Maude and Mark Crossfield have more views but are trending down relative to their channels.

I’ve mentioned this in a few articles but Ryan is among my favorite instructors on the platform. His delivery is superb and the production quality is awesome.

If you are looking for a trending instructor, Ryan is a good source.

8. GM Golf

One of the channels that really took off around the pandemic, GM Golf by Garrett Clark (also of GoodGood) is easily among the top 10 most influential YouTube channels at the moment.

GM has seen a 10 percent viewership growth rate but that is arguably even more impressive than a few others on this list because the total viewership is about 54 million over the past 12 months. Adding 230,000 subs in that time is also well above 2023 numbers. The channel has a total of 1.2 million subs.

Clark’s content is almost exclusively matches and collabs. If you like GoodGood, this is a channel you will also like.

9. Peter Finch

There has been healthy viewership growth (seven percent) for Finch’s channel throughout 2024. Rick Shiels still has an audience that dwarfs Finch’s but I’m bullish on Finch becoming more popular. He is approaching 700,000 subs in total and his subscriber rate increase is encouraging.

His channel has become mostly matches and collabs but he does sprinkle in some gear content. I like Finch’s energy and I’m impressed how many videos he can produce.

10. Bob Does Sports

One of the Goliaths of YouTube golf, BDS is up a couple percentage points in 2024—but that is meaningful for a channel with upwards of 75 million viewers per year.

I think BDS is near its peak in terms of quality of content. Just in the past few weeks, we have seen a collaboration with Bryson and Pardon My Take, the Barstool Sports podcast with a monster audience.

BDS is definitely a top five channel in terms of quality and popularity. I think there is more growth coming.

Do you watch any other channels that could make this list? Let me know in the comments and I could end up writing about them in the future.
