Luke Kwon

What happened to Luke Kwon at the Internet Invitational?

He slept through his tee time. The Internet Invitational is the team event Barstool Sports and Bob Does Sports filmed in August 2025 and released on YouTube from October 2025. In episode one, Kwon missed his 9:30 a.m. tee time for the morning match, so his partner PFT Commenter played the opening holes alone, and the pair lost 4&3 (Golf Digest, October 31, 2025). Golf.com reported that Dave Portnoy set the penalty at four holes of a nine-hole match, that Kwon had joked to PFT the night before that he would carry him, and that when a teammate confronted him at lunch Kwon said the late arrival “still makes no difference.” More than four million people watched that first episode in its first four days, per Golf.com. Golf Digest later called Brad Dalke the Internet Invitational champion.

What happened with Luke Kwon and Barstool? Why did he get cancelled?

We found no report in major or trade press of him being dropped by a sponsor or an event, but he did become the villain of Barstool’s show. On camera his teammate Ryan Whitney, of the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast, called him “the worst draft pick possible” (Golf.com), and Dave Portnoy posted that he was not sure anyone had ever hated someone as much as Whitney hated Kwon (MyGolfSpy, November 5, 2025). Kwon then posted an 18-minute apology video on his channel; per MyGolfSpy he apologized for sleeping in and for not apologizing sooner, and said his chirping at PFT was the kind of banter he has with his friends. Barstool’s Riggs, a rival captain, said on the Subpar podcast that he felt bad for Kwon “to a degree” and that he could have handled it better afterwards (Golf.com, November 7, 2025). Friends including George Bryan of the Bryan Bros defended him, Bryan saying the show set out to make him a villain (Golf Digest, November 21, 2025).

Why did Luke Kwon leave Good Good? What happened?

He left on his own terms in April 2024. D Magazine reported that he announced on April 3, 2024 that he was leaving Good Good to “take a bet on myself,” after about a year and a half in the group’s videos; he had taken the spot Micah Morris left in 2022. Neither he nor Good Good has given a fuller reason that we could source, and we found no report of a falling out with founders Garrett Clark, Stephen Castaneda or Matt Scharff. Four months later he won the Creator Classic as a solo creator.

What happened to Luke Kwon recently? Is he still playing golf?

Yes. As of October 2026 he is still competing and still posting. Days after the Internet Invitational aired he played the Asian Tour’s Singapore Open, where the tour joked on X about him making his tee time (Golf Digest, November 2025). In April 2026 Golf Digest ranked his match against fellow Oklahoma Sooner Brad Dalke the best YouTube golf video of the week and noted he still competes professionally (Golf Digest, April 24, 2026). In May 2026 he was named to the Your Golf Tour roster, the creator circuit run by Grant Horvat and the Bryan Bros (Golf Digest). Golf Digest’s October 15, 2026 preview of Internet Invitational season 2 recalls his tee time as a season-one moment and does not name him among the players it lists.

What happened between Luke Kwon and Sean Walsh?

Nothing bad on the record. Sean Walsh, a pro golfer who plays in Good Good gear, and Kwon are friends from junior golf in Texas who played a lot of rounds around Dallas during the pandemic, and Kwon helped introduce him to golf on social media, per The Spokesman-Review in August 2024. Days later they met in the Creator Classic playoff at East Lake, where Kwon beat Walsh, Wesley Bryan and Roger Steele with a birdie on the first extra hole (PGA Tour). Both are on the 2026 Your Golf Tour roster.

Yes. He turned pro after Oklahoma, won the Qinhuangdao Championship on PGA Tour China in 2019 and finished fifth on that tour’s Order of Merit to earn Korn Ferry Tour status (NBC Sports), and he played 47 PGA Tour events (D Magazine). Since 2024 he has made Asian Tour starts, including a made cut in his debut at the Black Mountain Championship (Golf Monthly), and played the 2025 New Zealand Open (Golf Monthly).
