It is more than eight years since Brad Dalke played an event at the top level of the game, but it is probably fair to say that his stock has never been higher than it is right now.
Anyone who has watched a handful of Good Good videos will know that Brad Dalke previously played in The Masters, back in 2017. Meanwhile, he also featured in the US Open later that same year.
He has now established himself as surely the best golfer on YouTube – as long as you take Bryson DeChambeau out of the mix.
Do you think golfers should receive a free drop from divots in the fairway?
It has been a remarkable 2025 for the 28-year-old, with victories coming in the Creator Classic in August as well as the Internet Invitational.
How much money Brad Dalke earned per shot from the Creator Classic and the Internet Invitational
Dalke won $100,000 at East Lake, while he shared $1,000,000 with his two teammates at Big Cedar Lodge.
He also won $20,000 during the second day of the event hosted by Barstool and Bob Does Sports.
In total, he hit 123 shots across the two tournaments. With that, he earned a staggering $3682.92 per shot, as noted by Good Good themselves.
What the PGA Tour should learn from the Internet Invitational
Certainly, the Creator Classic is far from the perfect event. While it is interesting to see some of the best YouTube golfers take on the likes of East Lake and TPC Sawgrass almost in tournament conditions, the format could definitely be improved.
The Internet Invitational benefitted from being filmed some time ago. It was put together superbly, with a number of fascinating storylines which could be focused on.
The final has 2.4 million views at the time of writing.
And it did seem that Dalke was one of the biggest revelations. He hit some sensational shots, and seemed to do a fantastic job of inspiring the teams he was on.
He already has a huge platform, but it is probably not too dramatic to say that this year could open up all sorts of opportunities for him.
With that, the PGA Tour would be wise to at least look at strengthening its partnership further with some of the biggest names on YouTube.
Good Good are already sponsoring an event late on in the 2026 PGA Tour season. But it will not hurt the tour to invite one or two of these characters to some of the smaller events as they will inevitably bring more eyes to the tournaments.
