YouTube golf is becoming more and more integrated with the PGA Tour, as the professional game continues to recognise the benefit content creators bring to the sport.
The Good Good Championship is a new PGA Tour event which will be played in the fall, and Grant Horvat was offered a sponsor exemption for the Barracuda Championship. He didn’t accept that invite, but another YouTuber will be playing on the tour this year.

Brad Dalke accepts sponsor exemption to play at the Rocket Classic
Dalke will be playing on the PGA Tour at the end of July, teeing off in Detroit for the Rocket Classic.
The event has some elite past champions like Bryson DeChambeau, Rickie Fowler and Tony Finau, who have all won at Detroit Golf Club in years past.
Dalke played at the 2017 Masters and US Open after earning his spot through the US Amatuer. He missed the cut in both events.
The last time he played on the PGA Tour was at the 2016 Valero Texas Open, where he also failed to make the weekend.

Dalke has since won the PGA Tour’s Creator Classic in 2025, and Barstool’s Internet Invitational.

It’s been clear for a number of years that Dalke is good enough to play professionally, and now we will see him test his ability against some of the best on the planet.
He took to X in response to the announcement, posting, “It’s official! I will be playing in the 2026 @RocketClassic as a sponsor’s exemption!
“It will be my first PGA Tour event in 10 years and I am pumped. Big thank you to everyone at the Rocket for giving me this opportunity!”
