Meet Every Player on the Your Golf Tour Roster

The Your Golf Tour roster has officially been announced, with four captains and their 12 prospective teammates making up the 16 inaugural members of YouTube Golf’s first full tour. As expected, those 16 players are some of the best in the creator realm, though while some have a large and loyal following, others are still very much in the infancy of their creator golf careers. From YouTube royalty Garrett Clark to up-and-comer Chance Taylor, below you can find out a little bit about everyone chosen by Grant Horvat and the Bryan Bros to join them as members of YTG’s founding line-up.  

Brad Dalke (Captain)

A few names were raised as a potential fourth captain, and Dalke was always one of the leading contenders. One of the absolute best players on YouTube, Good Good’s Dalke is a force on the course, with his professional experience including starts at the US Open and the Masters, while he’s also dominated the creative space with a win at the Internet Invitational and two at the Creators’ Classic last year. It’s set to be a big year for Dalke, who will not only captain one of these teams but also return to the PGA Tour in November for the first time in a decade. Expect some big bombs from the red-headed Oklahoman, and some cool, calm and collected leadership as he attempts to add yet another piece of silverware to his ever-growing trophy cabinet.

Luke Kwon

At long last, Kwon gets his chance at redemption in a team event after his infamous sleep-in at the Internet Invitational last year. Assuming he can get himself out of bed on time, the 33-year-old will be a valuable addition to whichever quarter he finds himself on, with a handicap according to Handicap Tracker of +4.0 and experience on the Korn Ferry Tour. Kwon was in the Q at Myrtle Beach up to his eyeballs a couple of weeks ago prior to a quadruple bogey late in the round, having just edged out Sam Heung Min in the first round, and will be a valuable addition to any team. 

Peter Finch

The criteria for selection for this tour was simple: good at golf first, and ideally popular as well. Boasting his own YouTube channel with a subscriber base of close to 1 million as well as a plus-handicap, Finch was always going to be an ideal candidate. Not that there was any sort of stipulation that only one British person could play on this tour, but if there was, Finch appears to have beat out his more credentialled (in terms of subscriber-base) compatriot in Rick Shiels, with whom he currently shares an identical handicap on Handicap Tracker. Anyway – find me a person who doesn’t like Peter Finch and I’ll show you a person who also hates puppies. He’ll be very a popular addition to the tour. 

Garrett Clark

Garrett Clark won’t need much introduction to most readers. He is a pioneer of YouTube Golf, having been one of the first people to really bring it into the limelight, and through his own GM Golf channel as well as Good Good, Garrett has become one of the most recognisable faces in golf’s creative world. Unlike a few of his competitors on this tour, Garrett won’t exactly split viewers sides in half with his sense of humour, but he’s a nice, down-to-earth guy and a very good golfer. 

Josh Kelley

If there’s a traditional path to YouTube Golf stardom, Josh Kelley hasn’t exactly followed it, but he’s got there nonetheless. Kelley started out doing trick shots on Instagram, where he now boasts close to 700k followers, but as his popularity has boomed he’s expanded to YouTube, where he is at close to 150k subscribers. No longer just a one-trick (shot) pony, Kelley now produces a combination of content which includes longer-form videos, and the fun stuff for which he has become so renowned. He can also do less fun stuff like hitting fairways and greens and making putts, so much so that he played in a PGA Tour event last year, so he’s certainly not just there to make up the numbers.

Roger Steele

Unlike most others in this group, Roger Steele is a relative unknown in the YouTube world. He’s got a channel, but with just a tick over 5,000 subscribers it’s not exactly booming. YouTube is not where he’s made his presence known; Steele, a former engineer, is the MC of TGL and a host of Callaway’s Range Talk program, but he’s also a very good golfer. We saw that at the Internet Invitational, where he showed off his 200mph ball speed (!) among other talents and was generally an entertaining personality. Though he’s not as big of a name as his fellow YGT members, with both his golf game and his outgoing disposition, it’s easy to see why Steele made the cut.

Ryan Ruffels

Ruffels is arguably the most professionally qualified player on this list with 20 PGA Tour starts to his name, and a 21st being added to the list at the Myrtle Beach Classic from the 7th-10th of May. Increasingly making a name for himself on YouTube via The Lads channel alongside Jason Day, Ruffels showed how good he is at the Q at Myrtle Beach. He is also a pretty likeable guy – save for some dubious Malbon outfits – and has a great name, and after appearing in the Q at Myrtle Beach his presence on this tour was a bit of a no-brainer.

Chance Taylor

Chance Taylor hasn’t had nearly as much YouTube exposure as some of the other names on this list, but he’s certainly trending in the right direction. His appearance on the Q at Myrtle Beach gave us a strong suspicion that he would be included in YGT, and lo and behold, here he is. Taylor’s presence is much stronger on social media than it is YouTube, with close to 250k followers on TikTok and 84k on Instagram, where he summarises himself as follows: ‘I play golf and hunt’. Taylor will bring, in his own words, some ‘redneck flare’ to the YGT, as well as a barrage of camo outfits, and more importantly some very good golf. He didn’t set the world on fire at Q at Myrtle Beach, but Taylor’s best can certainly match it with these guys.

Sam Heung Min

Sam Heung Min might play the role of the class clown, but hidden beneath his dry exterior is an exceptionally good golfer. A key part of the Kiwi crew which is continuously growing in popularity, Sam also has his own YT channel with 139k subscribers and a bio which reads ‘Im qook’d and very good at intros’. Make of that what you will. Qook’d he may be, but with plenty of experience at the professional levels on the Australasia and China Tours, he will also be a very handy teammate, and will more than likely feature prominently among the strangest interactions we’re fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to see throughout the course of this tour.

Tooms

Another member of the very talented Kiwi crew, and arguably the best of them. Luke Toomey, AKA Tooms, has a beautiful swing and swathes of professional experience, and a much more composed demeanour than a couple of his Kiwi crew friends. Tooms Golf is his YouTube channel, which is about to pop 100k followers, but he appears plenty on the channels of his compatriots. Testament to his ability, a little over a year ago Tooms did an Instagram challenge where he had to birdie every hole at his home course in 50 days, stopping the challenge each time he didn’t make a birdie. For the non-mathematicians out there, this essentially meant he’d have to have a birdie less than every three holes. He did it in 14 days.

Sean Walsh

Sean Walsh is something of a newcomer to YouTube Golf, having joined Good Good just a couple of years ago close to a decade after he turned pro in 2016. Contrary to what his self-deprecating nature might suggest, Sean Walsh is one of the best golfers on this list, with only the four captains and Ryan Ruffels boasting a better handicap than him according to Handicap Tracker. He’s played plenty of golf on the Good Good channel with Dalke, who recently said that Walsh ‘can beat anyone in the world on his day’. Scottie Sheffler might have something to say about that but regardless, it’s high praise from someone who knows Walsh’s game very well.  

Taco Golf

Taco, or Tae-Wook Koh as he’s known by his birth certificate, is the final member of the Kiwi crew. Unlike a couple of other members of his crew, Taco’s not a big smiler, but he might be the funniest member of the group. He has become well-known for his uncanny ability to imitate the swings of pro golfers, but his own swing also works to pretty good effect. He will be a far more legitimate competitor on this tour than the name Taco might suggest, and he might also be one of the most entertaining.

Micah Morris

Mighty Micah Morris. Opinions have often been divided on the 31-year-old, with what some might call a propensity to have a bit of a whinge turning a few people off, but he appears to be on the path to redemption lately. Morris, by his own admission, is not the most mentally robust golfer in the world and that was plain to see at certain moments during the Q at Myrtle Beach, specifically on the green, but that event also highlighted the talent that he has. From tee to green he was as good as anyone, and aside from having a bit of a sook about being paired up against George Bryan (who he beat) in Round One, was generally very likeable. His powerful, straight hitting will make him a very handy ambrose partner.

And there you have it — 16 players who, between them, will act as pioneers for a tour that Grant Horvat and the Bryan Bros have grand plans for. They made it clear from the outset that the quality of the field would be the primary focus in putting the roster together, and based on the names above, they've delivered on that promise.
