With much of the country slammed by snow, ice and sub-arctic cold this week, the only golf most of us will be getting will be on our favorite retina-frying doom boxes. The good news is that there’s plenty of YouTube goodness to keep you comatose until the cart paths clear, so throw on those sweats, throw another log on the fire and enjoy the show.
These Girls Are Good
It remains surprising to me—a man, admittedly—that there aren’t more women pouring into the golf YouTube space in 2026. For amateur female golfers, Paige Spiranac seemingly blazed this whole golf influencer trail a decade ago. I can understand others not wanting to follow that template seeing the general weirdness and abuse she receives, but certainly there’s no question there’s a large and engaged audience there to tap into.

Then there are the female tour pros.
Bryson DeChambeau has shown us all what happens when a charismatic superstar meets his fans where they’re at, and the result has been wildly successful. The LPGA schedule isn’t as forgiving as LIV’s, but golf is crying out for a women’s pro to embrace YouTube and content creation like the two-time U.S. Open champ. I couldn’t help but wonder as I watched two of women’s golf’s most online stars, Nelly Korda and Charley Hull, tee it up with Fore Play this week why the video wasn’t airing on one of their own channels.

It’s a fun video. Korda teams up with Riggs, Hull with Frankie. Trent serves as the wildcard, having to hit five shots for each team before the end of the match. It’s good stuff, but can you imagine the potential of a LPGA pro like Korda or Hull leading this video of Riggs? (Sorry Riggs.) It’s huge. It could be a major revenue source for female pros, whose winner’s purses aren’t nearly as extravagant as their male counterparts’ (stop me if you’ve heard this before, ladies). More importantly, though, it would just be fun.

The iron seems hot and ready to strike. TGL recently announced a new women’s division, which will begin play later this year. Just a month or two ago, Good Good Golf—the closest thing YouTube golf has to a “mainstream”—launched Good Good Girls (make sure to check out their content below if you haven’t already). As we all know, golf in general has grown by leaps and bounds following the pandemic, but now it seems like women’s golf is having a moment. The question now isn’t if or when, but which woman will take the plunge first.

Good Good Golf
Jon Rahm takes on each member of Good Good Golf, with each guy getting progressively harder until the final boss, Brad Dalke. If this sounds like some sort of YouTube golf Mortal Kombat to you, that’s because it kind of is. FINISH THEM, RAHMBO.

Rahmbo was a busy boy this week. The big Spainiard also joined BDS for the nine-hole, 48-donut challenge. Rahm put in a valiant performance during last year’s BDS taco challenge, but donuts are a whole other ballgame. Tune in to see who pukes first.
Good Good Girls
As if golf isn’t punitive enough already, the Good Good gals turn the masochism up to 11 with a 2v2 scramble where each hole begins with a random de-buff, from putting with oven mitts on to hitting sand wedge off the tee. Good luck and God speed, ladies.
Grant Horvat
Speaking of Good Good, Grant Horvat reunites with his former crew for The Good Good Reunion Major. Family reunions can be tough, but this one is all good vibes and great shots.
