Earlier this spring, Grant Horvat and the Bryan Bros.—two of the most popular and prolific channels in the YouTube golf space–officially launched Your Golf Tour, a new competitive golf circuit featuring the world’s most skilled golf influencers. Details were murky, but the $1 million pot of gold at the end of the rainbow told the story:
Despite the laid back nature of YouTube golf, YGT wasn’t messing around.
A lot has happened since then, most notably the impending demise of the world’s most notable other golf tour, LIV Golf. Seemingly overnight, YGT was thrust into the position of the PGA Tour’s biggest competitor, and on Monday we finally learned what shape that competition will take. In a roundtable chat with the league’s four captains—Wesley Bryan, George Bryan, Grant Horvat and Brad Dalke—shed light on the who, what, when and where of YGT. Check it out.

As the captains explain, players were picked for their high-level skill first and entertaining personalities second. In an effort to expose audiences to new faces and creators, each team captain will also bring in a different “wildcard” player for each of the YGT’s three regular-season events. None of the other captains will know who that player will be until the tournament begins and it could be anybody from Bryson DeChambeau to a local club pro. The 12 wildcards selected throughout the course of the season (one for each of the four teams at each of the three events) will then face each other in a shootout, with the winner, the “17th man,” earning the right to compete at the million-dollar finale at Wynn Golf Club.
To build their respective teams, each captain will select three players from the full-time roster via a made-for-YouTube draft. Those teams will then compete at four stops, which we now know will be:
Pursell Farms
Teeth of the Dog at Casa de Campo
Cutalong at Tributer Resort
Wynn Golf Club

Each event will encompass three rounds spread across three different YouTube channels. First rounds (front nine) will air on Grant Horvat’s channel, second rounds (back nine with wildcards) will air on the Bryan Bros. channel and the final rounds will air on the newly established Your Golf Tour channel. Round one will utilize a 2v2 scramble format, round two will switch to alternate shot and force captains to bench one full-time player for their wildcard. The two top teams after 18 holes will then face off via five 1v1 matches (including wildcard selections) to determine the winning team. Got all that?
Obviously, it’s a lot to digest. We haven’t even covered it all (for instance, each team will also have to “relegate” one of its players after season one) and things are said to be “subject to change,” so we suggest you watch the full video for more details. We still don’t know when the inaugural event at Purcell Farms is scheduled other than sometime in 2026, but with everything else now on the table, we’re already ready and waiting to tune in.
