Masters 2026: YouTube golf star Brad Dalke attends Masters as a patron, gets asked for more autographs than most of the pros
Good Good Golf star Brad Dalke found himself surrounded by young fans at Augusta National on Monday.
Brad Dalke won the 2015 Junior PGA Championship, finished runner-up at the 2016 U. S. Amateur, helped Oklahoma to the 2017 NCAA National Championship and has played in both the Masters and U.
S. Open. He’s experienced more “conventional” golf success than 99 percent of planet earth, but he didn’t find stardom until he stepped away from the PGA Tour chase altogether.
Dalke landed at Good Good Golf, and while it took a little while to find his feet at the YouTube golf juggernaut, he became a household name (at least amongst 18-to-35-year-olds) last fall when he led a rag-tag team of Francis Ellis and Cody “Beef” Franke to a win at the inaugural Internet Invitational. YouTube agnostics still may not understand how popular Dalke and his peers have become with younger golfers, but Monday helped to illustrate the point when Dalke arrived at Augusta National as a patron and but quickly found himself signing autographs like a pro. Check it out.

If that’s true, then this is the ‘War and Peace’ of YouTube golf. A decade ago, seeing young golfers more excited for a YouTuber than a tour pro would have been unthinkable.
