Golf Channel is bringing back “Big Break.”
The groundbreaking golf reality TV series that ran for 23 seasons from 2003 to 2015 returns in August 2026 in partnership with Good Good Golf, the influencer brand with nearly 2 million YouTube subscribers.
Season 24, titled “Big Break x Good Good,” will take place at Horseshoe Bay Resort west of Austin, Texas. The winner gets a sponsor exemption into the PGA Tour’s Good Good Championship, scheduled for next November at Omni Barton Creek in Austin.
Two Good Good members are already confirmed among the 12 competitors: Brad Dalke, the 2016 U.S. Amateur runner-up who helped Oklahoma win the 2017 NCAA team title, and Sean Walsh, a Gonzaga alum. The remaining contestants will be selected later, with application details coming soon.
Former “Big Break” runner-up and Golf Channel personality Blair O’Neal will co-host alongside Good Good’s Matt Scharff. Good Good’s Garrett Clark and Bubbie Broders will serve as non-playing team captains. The production team is led by executive producers Chris Graham and Kevin Schultz, with Graham bringing valuable experience as a longtime producer during the original “Big Break” run.
“Bringing back ‘Big Break’ in partnership with Good Good Golf is as good as it gets,” said Tom Knapp, EVP and general manager, Golf Channel. “‘Big Break’ is a Golf Channel institution which defined golf reality entertainment for 23 seasons. Good Good Golf is creating today’s version of golf entertainment and has redefined what ‘reality’ content really is. These two golf contents brands will be a very powerful combination.”
The original series has an impressive legacy of launching careers. “Big Break” alumni include PGA Tour winners Tony Finau, Wesley Bryan, Matt Every, Richy Werenski and Tommy Gainey.
