Best Golf YouTubers: Who to Watch
On this page6
The best golf YouTubers split into three camps: gear reviewers who tell you what to buy, coaches who fix your swing for free, and entertainers who make challenge matches you cannot stop watching. Rick Shiels leads the reviewers, Danny Maude and Me and My Golf anchor the coaching, and Good Good, Bob Does Sports, and Bryson DeChambeau own the entertainment side. Which one is “best” depends entirely on what you actually want from a golf video.
Every channel and figure named here is real and verifiable, and you can visit each directly. What we have deliberately not done is invent subscriber counts. Those numbers move weekly, so treat the ranges below as rough scale, not precise stats.
The best golf YouTubers at a glance
Here is the shortlist, grouped by what each channel does best, with an approximate audience scale. All figures are ballpark and change constantly.
| Channel | Known for | Approx. subscriber scale |
|---|---|---|
| Rick Shiels Golf | Club and equipment reviews, honest gear testing | Over 2 million |
| Good Good | Team challenge matches, entertainment, apparel brand | Over 1.5 million |
| Bryson DeChambeau | ”Break 50” celebrity challenges, tour pro vlogs | Over 1.5 million |
| Grant Horvat Golf | Playing videos, pro and celebrity matchups | Over 1 million |
| Bob Does Sports | Comedy-driven golf, Fat Perez and crew | Around 1 million |
| Danny Maude | Clear, no-nonsense swing instruction | Around 1 million |
| GM Golf (Garrett Clark) | Original Good Good founder’s channel, challenges | Around 1 million |
| Peter Finch Golf | Coaching, vlogs, and challenge content | Several hundred thousand |
| Me and My Golf | Structured lessons and drills | Several hundred thousand |
| TXG (Tour Experience Golf) | Deep club-fitting and equipment data | Several hundred thousand |
Use it as a menu. If you want to know whether a new driver is worth it, start at the top. If you want to actually get better, drop to the coaching rows.
Best for gear reviews: Rick Shiels and TXG
Rick Shiels, a UK PGA professional, built one of golf’s biggest channels by testing clubs on camera and saying plainly whether they are worth the money. If a new driver, wedge, or budget iron set is on your shortlist, there is almost certainly a Shiels review of it. For the obsessives, TXG (Tour Experience Golf) goes deeper into club fitting with launch-monitor data, showing why the same club suits one player and not another. Between them they cover both the “should I buy this” and the “which spec” questions.
Best for entertainment: Good Good, Bob Does Sports, and Bryson
The entertainment wing is where golf YouTube exploded. Good Good, a collective of young players and personalities, built a following on team challenge matches and turned it into a full apparel brand. Bob Does Sports leans into comedy, with characters like Fat Perez making the golf almost secondary to the laughs. And Bryson DeChambeau’s own channel, powered by his “Break 50” series pairing him with figures from Donald Trump to fellow pros, brought a genuine major champion into the creator space. Grant Horvat, who came up through the Good Good orbit before going solo, sits right alongside them with polished playing videos and high-profile matchups.
Best for actually improving: Danny Maude and Me and My Golf
If your goal is a lower score rather than a laugh, the coaching channels earn their place. Danny Maude has a knack for explaining a fix in one clear idea you can take to the range that afternoon. Me and My Golf, run by two English PGA coaches, offers more structured lessons and drill sequences. Peter Finch straddles both worlds, mixing genuine coaching with vlogs and challenges. Pair any of these with our how to break 100 in golf guide and you have a free improvement plan that rivals paid lessons.
Who is the biggest and richest?
By raw reach, Rick Shiels, Good Good, and Bryson DeChambeau are the giants of golf YouTube, each measured in the millions. Naming the single “richest” is guesswork, because none publish their earnings. Shiels and the Good Good collective are usually cited as the most commercially successful creators thanks to apparel lines and sponsorships, while DeChambeau earns far more from playing golf than from videos. Anyone quoting an exact net worth is estimating, so take those figures with heavy skepticism.
How to pick who to follow
Match the channel to your goal. Watching gear reviews will not lower your handicap, and watching challenge matches will not teach you a takeaway. Decide whether you want to be entertained, informed about equipment, or genuinely coached, then subscribe accordingly. If you are still building the basics, our what to wear golfing and greatest golfers guides round out the culture side while the coaching channels handle your swing.
Start with one channel from each camp, watch for a week, and keep the ones whose voice you actually enjoy. Golf content only helps if you come back to it, and the best golf YouTuber for you is simply the one you will still be watching next month.
