One of the most iconic golf reality competition series, The Big Break, is officially returning to the Golf Channel, originally airing from 2003 to 2015. The reboot will launch in August of 2026 in partnership with Good Good Golf (GGG).
The Big Break is beloved by fans for its unique format, its identification of emerging talent, and its dramatic challenges that compel fans to keep tuning in. The revival is merging nostalgia from longtime Golf Channel fans with a fresh, creator-driven appeal that has propelled GGG to industry prominence.
In alignment with Good Good’s expanding physical footprint and massive digital audience.
Good Good Spotlighted in Primetime
Two key members of the Good Good roster will be representing the brand for the revamped season: Brad Dalke and Seas Walsh. Their inclusion is a strategic move for GGG, as it will reinforce the brand’s depth of talent and add credibility to the overall GGG ecosystem.
As an exciting new twist, the winner of the new season will receive a sponsor exemption into an official PGA Tour event, the Good Good Championship, debuting in November of 2026. This is a powerful new pipeline from entertainment-based competition shows to a professional-level opportunity, something that has never been done on The Big Break. Tony Finau, currently one of the PGA Tour’s top players, originally appeared on the original airing of The Big Break back in 2009. His trajectory legitimizes the platform for identifying world-class talent.
A Strategic Move for the Golf Channel & the Industry
By collaborating on the show’s reboot with Good Good Golf, The Big Break’s decision reflects a broader entertainment trend: capturing and engaging younger, digitally native audiences with familiar favorites.
Creator-led content has reshaped how modern fans watch and interact with golf. The partnership between GGG and the Gold Channel demonstrates their commitment to innovation. While the network gains access to one of golf entertainment’s most influential audiences, GGG enhances its presence across traditional broadcast channels. This mutually beneficial relationship is a hybrid of legacy media and the next generation of content.
A New Chapter in Golf Entertainment
The return of the Big Break in 2026 marks a major milestone in the evolution of gold programming. As the center of the launch, Good Good Golf is positioned to create content that will resonate with both longtime fans of the Golf Channel and the upcoming wave of new viewers, further solidifying GGG’s strategic vision of reshaping sports entertainment media.
