Questions people ask
Who is Brad Dalke?
Brad Dalke is an American golfer and YouTuber from Oklahoma. He finished runner-up at the 2016 U.S. Amateur at Oakland Hills, which earned him spots in the 2017 Masters and U.S. Open, and helped Oklahoma win the 2017 NCAA Championship, per the Rocket Classic. He turned pro in 2019, stepped back from tournaments, and found a second career on YouTube with Good Good, which signed him full time in August 2023 per D Magazine. Since June 2026 he has been on his own.
What happened to Brad Dalke? Is he still with Good Good?
No. As of October 2026 he is no longer part of Good Good. He announced his exit in a video on his own channel posted June 25, 2026 (I Am Leaving Good Good), and D Magazine noted in September 2026 that he and Luke Kwon had both stepped away from the group. Since then he has kept posting solo videos on YouTube, mostly rounds, matches and attempts to shoot 59. He is also one of four team captains in Your Golf Tour (YGT), the creator league Grant Horvat and the Bryan Bros announced on March 25, 2026 (Golf Digest), alongside Horvat, George Bryan and Wesley Bryan (Golf Digest, May 2026). In September 2026, AmateurGolf.com reported that Team Brad and Team Wesley were the last two teams left after the Rams Hill elimination round.
Why did Brad Dalke leave Good Good? Why did he quit?
He said the reason was personal, in his June 25, 2026 video. The personal side is not something we cover. His exit came about two months before Good Good’s August 2026 Callaway ad controversy, and we found no report in major or trade press linking the two.
What happened to Brad Dalke at the Rocket Classic? Why was he playing?
The Rocket Classic, a PGA Tour event at Detroit Golf Club, gave him a sponsor exemption on June 2, 2026, citing his following as a creator and his playing record (Rocket Classic). He shot 81 and 75 in the event played July 30 to August 2, 2026, finished 16 over and missed the cut (PGA Tour). Golf Monthly reported that he finished last in the field and that he called the leaderboard “the saddest thing I’ve ever seen” on Instagram. He posted his own account of the week as I Finished Dead Last in a PGA Tour Event.
Why is Brad Dalke on the DP World Tour?
He is not a member. He played one DP World Tour event, the BMW International Open near Munich in early July 2026, on a sponsor invitation from BMW, his first world-ranked start in six years (Golf Digest). He opened 69 and 66 to sit near the lead after 36 holes, then shot 75 and 73 to finish T30 and make the cut (Golf.com). His own video is I Played on the DP World Tour (My Best Golf Yet).
Is Brad Dalke playing the Good Good Championship in Austin?
Golf Monthly reported on August 1, 2026 that he had a sponsor exemption into the inaugural Good Good Championship, a PGA Tour event set for November 12 to 15, 2026 in Austin. In late August Good Good stepped away as title sponsor, and the Tour renamed the event the Austin Championship and said it would go on as planned (Golf.com). As of October 2026 we found no report confirming whether his invitation still stands.
Why did Brad Dalke stop playing pro golf? Did he retire or leave the PGA Tour?
He turned pro in 2019 and never earned full status on a tour, so there was no PGA Tour card to leave. He told D Magazine in April 2024 that after about four years of swing changes and poor results he no longer wanted to play tournaments, and his sponsors pulled support. Before 2026 his last pro start was the Korn Ferry Tour’s Evans Scholars Invitational in 2020, per Golf Monthly. He has not announced a retirement. After the BMW International Open in July 2026 he told Golf.com he would love to play more but is “in a good spot with YouTube” and is “not going to grind my way up” through the Korn Ferry Tour or PGA Tour Americas.
How old is Brad Dalke? What is his real name?
He is 29, born August 19, 1997, per Famous Birthdays. Brad Dalke is his real name, as printed by the PGA Tour and every major golf outlet that covers him.
Where is Brad Dalke from?
Yukon, Oklahoma, per Famous Birthdays. He played his college golf at the University of Oklahoma, and D Magazine described Oak Tree National in Edmond, Oklahoma as his home course when Garrett Clark invited him into a Good Good video there in March 2023.
Where can I watch Brad Dalke?
His solo videos are on YouTube @braddalkegolf, including match videos with Wesley Bryan, Luke Kwon and Bob Does Sports. Your Golf Tour rounds run on the YGT, Horvat and Bryan Bros channels. His years with Good Good, from 2023 to June 2026, are on the Good Good YouTube channel.
What about Brad Dalke’s family or personal life?
Not something we cover.
What is Brad Dalke’s net worth?
He does not publish a number and neither do we.
Who represents Brad Dalke?
His YouTube About page does not name a management company or agency, and we found none named in trade press. Ames Create does not represent him; we cover him because people keep asking why he left Good Good and what he is doing now, and most of that answer is on the record. If that changes, this entry will say so.
Our read
Ames Create does not work with Brad Dalke. This is our view, from a team that works on creator brands for a living.
The format. Long form golf with a scoreboard: solo rounds chasing 59, head to head matches against other golf creators, and vlogs from real tour events. The stakes are simple and readable, and a former U.S. Amateur finalist trying to go low gives every round a reason to keep watching.
Why it travels. His story has an arc people already know: junior prodigy, the Masters as an amateur, a stalled pro career, then a second act on YouTube. That arc made his 2026 tour starts news in golf press, and the match videos with other creators carry him into their audiences, which is how a solo channel still pulls hundreds of thousands of views per upload.
Brand fit. Golf equipment, apparel, resorts and course travel are the natural fit, and since June 2026 he is no longer tied to Good Good’s house brands. He is low risk on content: clean, self-deprecating and about the golf. A brand should expect the product to sit inside a round or a match, not a scripted segment.
