If you want to know who the best competitive golfer in creator golf is right now, the results point one way: Brad Dalke.
The record
- August 2025 Won the Creator Classic at East Lake on the eve of the Tour Championship. His 2 under over eight holes was the event's scoring record, and he won a playoff over Sean Walsh, Luke Kwon and Micah Morris
- August 2025 Won the Internet Invitational with Francis Ellis and Cody "Beef" Franke, who died before the series aired. The three split $1 million
- July 2026 Captained Team Brad to the first YGT stop at Pursell Farms and $250,000
He was also part of the winning team at the Creator Classic at the Philadelphia Cricket Club in May 2025.
Who he is
Dalke, a member of Good Good, was a top junior long before YouTube. Some golf fans remember him as the teenager who beat Rory McIlroy in an arm-wrestling contest a decade ago.
After East Lake he said it had been a long time since he'd won an individual competitive event, and that he felt the nerves coming down the stretch. He has handled them well since.
Why he matters
Creator golf used to be about entertainment first. The new events, with bigger prizes and tougher formats, reward people who can actually play. Dalke is the clearest example of a creator who wins when it counts, which is exactly what those events want to show.
