Brad Dalke is an American professional golfer known for finishing runner-up at the 2016 U.S. Amateur and helping the Oklahoma Sooners win the 2017 NCAA Division I men's golf championship. He later joined Good Good as a full-time golf content creator and competed in events including the Creator Classic and the BMW International Open.

Personal life

Dalke married Abbie in June 2025. He comes from an athletic family: his father, Bill Dalke, played linebacker for the 1975 Oklahoma Sooners national championship football team, while his mother, Kay, played golf at the University of Oklahoma and later coached high-school golf.

In 2026, Dalke stepped away from his full-time role with Good Good Golf to prioritize his family after Abbie experienced significant health difficulties, including two miscarriages and partial blindness following a stroke.

Junior golf and early achievements

Dalke began playing golf soon after learning to walk and entered his first tournament at age three. He won the 10-11 division of the Southwest Junior Open by 12 strokes, the 12-13 division of the Southwest Junior Championship by 19 strokes, and the under-12 division of the 2010 U.S. Kids World Championship at Pinehurst Resort with three rounds of 68.

At age 13, he won the 2011 Thunderbird International Junior and became the youngest male winner of an American Junior Golf Association invitational tournament. He later won the 2013 HP Boys Championship and PING Invitational, earned five first-team AJGA All-American selections, represented the United States at the 2014 Junior Ryder Cup, and matched Tiger Woods' record with 12 points in five AJGA Wyndham Cup appearances.

Dalke won the 2015 Junior PGA Championship after shooting a tournament-record 9-under 62. The victory earned him an exemption into the 2016 Valero Texas Open, where he made his PGA Tour debut.

Oklahoma Sooners career

Dalke enrolled at the University of Oklahoma in 2015 and played 49 collegiate events over four seasons. He won the NCAA Stanford Regional in 2017 with a 54-hole score of 198, including a career-low 64 in the second round, and won the Lone Star Invitational in 2018 for his second individual collegiate title.

At the 2016 U.S. Amateur, Dalke defeated Will Zalatoris in the first round and advanced to the final, where he lost to Curtis Luck. The runner-up finish earned him invitations to the 2017 Masters Tournament and U.S. Open. He also represented the United States at the 2016 Eisenhower Trophy and the 2018 Arnold Palmer Cup.

During the 2017 NCAA Division I men's golf championship, Dalke went 2-1 in match play and holed the title-clinching putt against Oregon. Oklahoma won the national championship, the first NCAA men's golf title in the program's history.

Professional golf and Good Good

Dalke turned professional in 2019 and entered Korn Ferry Tour qualifying school that October. He missed advancing to the second stage by one stroke. His first cut in a professional tournament came at the 2020 Classic at Callaway Gardens on the LocaliQ Series, where he finished tied for 52nd.

After struggling with his driving and being unable to establish status on a major professional tour, Dalke began filming golf videos with Good Good. He signed a full-time contract with the YouTube golf channel in August 2023, shifting part of his career toward golf entertainment and content creation.

In 2025, Dalke was part of the winning team at the third Creator Classic and won the fourth Creator Classic at East Lake Golf Club. He also helped win the inaugural Internet Invitational alongside Francis Ellis and Cody "Beef" Franke.

Dalke returned to a world-ranked tournament at the 2026 BMW International Open, where rounds of 69 and 66 put him in contention before he finished tied for 30th. He later made a sponsor-exempt PGA Tour start at the Rocket Classic, his first on the tour in a decade, but missed the cut.
