The Golf Channel reality series Big Break will make its long-awaited return in August 2026, when filming is set to begin at Horseshoe Bay Resort, one of Golf Magazine’s top 100 resorts in North America.
The Big Break revival is produced in partnership with Good Good Golf, a golf media brand with nearly 2 million subscribers on Youtube alone.The show ran for 23 seasons between 2003 and 2015 before being paused by NBC Universal due to budget cuts.
Competitors will take on signature Big Break challenges like the “glass break,” and “flop wall,” to earn a coveted exemption into the Professional Golfer’s Association Tour’s new Good Good Championship, to be held at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa’s Fazio Canyons Course in Austin, Texas, as part of the 2026 FedExCup Fall.
The show’s original executive producer Chris Graham will oversee production of the new season.
The season will be co-hosted by Blair O’Neal, winner of Big Break: Dominican Republic, and Matt Scharff, a Good Good Golf personality. Good Good’s Garrett Clark and Bubbie Broders will serve as non-playing team captains. Confirmed competitors include Brad Dalke, the 2016 U.S. Amateur runner-up, and Sean Walsh, a Gonzaga Golf alum. The remaining contestants will be announced at a later date, as well as information on how to apply.
