We’ve been tracking the YouTube Golf Power Rankings over the past few weeks and now we’re starting to see some real movement on the leaderboard. Creators are playing more competitive formats, posting more scores and giving us a better look at whose game is trending in the right direction.
So, every two weeks, we break down the YouTube Golf Power Rankings. The data comes from the Handicap Tracker which monitors scores from YouTube golf videos and calculates handicaps based on those rounds.
Grant Horvat
Horvat delivered one of the most complete stretches of golf in this update.
At Torrey Pines, he was the only player in his group to make the cut while playing alongside the Bryan Bros. He followed that with a hole-in-one and a 5-under 67 in a round with Justin Rose. Horvat’s performance moved him up seven spots on the leaderboard and pushed his handicap to +4.2.
Evan Thompson
Thompson made an early statement in a 2v1 match against the Savannah Bananas.
He reached 3-under through seven holes and controlled the match from there. The round contributed to a steady climb, moving Thompson up six spots and bringing his handicap to +3.1.
Rick Shiels
A 1-under round at Highland Gate in South Africa stands out as one of his more controlled performances in recent memory. Shiels moved up six spots on the leaderboard and now sits at a +1.3 handicap.
Peter Finch
Finch added another steady performance to his recent run of form. His latest rounds continue to reflect improved control and scoring consistency, which is starting to show up in the Handicap Tracker.
Finch moved up three spots on the leaderboard and now sits at a +1.4 handicap.
Harry Na
Na delivered a clean 2-under round during the Battle of the Majors at Pukekohe Golf Club.
The performance was built on limiting mistakes and taking advantage of scoring opportunities without forcing the issue. Na moved up two spots on the leaderboard and now sits at a +2.3 handicap.
Josh Kelley
Kelley continues to show steady improvement with another solid stretch of play.
While there wasn’t a single standout round, the consistency across recent videos is contributing to gradual movement in the Handicap Tracker. Kelley moved up two spots and now sits at a +2.0 handicap.
Biggest handicap impact (Single Video)
Paddy Moloney recorded the largest single-round impact in this update after shooting 86 (+14) in The Fore Bros Masters. The result produced a -0.9 shift, the biggest movement from a single video during this period.
Grant Horvat followed with one of the strongest positive rounds, shooting 67 (-5), while Trent Ryan and Josh Oddy also produced notable changes based on their latest performances.
