I love golf and I have no interest in watching Youtube golfers play golf. It would be like showing up on at a public course and picking a 4-some to follow. The only worthwhile video is the Tiger, Scottie and Rory video.

You’d be surprised at how entertaining it is compared to a standard tournament broadcast. And there’s enough supply of decent content for you to rotate through if you dislike or tire of a channel.
YouTube Golf has a full spectrum of options: gear reviews, instructional, and personalities. Some of the personalities are mildly entertaining but engaging (Grant Horvat, Bryson, Bryon Bros) and others are goofier (Bob Does Sports, Good Good). If you want instructional, yeah, there are channels that focus on that. If you want tour pros, you’d be surprised how many videos are out there with tour pros, PGA or Liv.
FWIW, I found this website through YouTube golf during Covid. It was the YouTube version of the No Putts Given podcast back in the Harry & Miranda days.
