👋 Hey y’all - George here. Been really cool seeing all the reactions after the YGT announcement. Saw a ton of questions come through this week, so I wanted to answer a few and give y’all a better idea of where our heads are at with this whole thing. There’s a LOT happening behind the scenes already… and honestly, I think some of the stuff around the golf might end up being just as fun as the golf itself.
P.S. This week’s Tip of the Week is for anybody who feels like their takeaway gets “stuck” early and then everything falls apart from there 👀

⚔️ We’re still battling for draft order
A bunch of y’all asked whether the four captains were gonna compete to decide draft order… and yeah, that’s always been the plan. Originally we were supposed to do a 1v1v1v1 battle in Vegas, but timing just didn’t work out with my recent injury. Sounds like we’re now gonna do it right before Pursell Farms, which honestly might make it even cooler because now it becomes part of the actual YGT story. Trust me… we all wanna earn that first pick.

🎬 Why we’re not livestreaming the draft
A lot of y’all asked about livestreaming the draft, and honestly, I get why because it would be pretty fun. But we really want the first YGT episode to hit hard. We don’t want everybody already knowing the teams before the first video even drops. The draft, the reactions, the strategy and the surprise of who ends up together… we want all of that bundled into one big story. This thing’s supposed to feel way bigger than just another golf video.

🌍 We wanna take YGT around the world
One question that got me really excited was whether YGT could eventually go international. Honestly… that’s absolutely something we’d love to do. A UK event, Australia/New Zealand, different regions around the world… I think that’d be unreal. The wildcard idea becomes even cooler too because now you can start bringing local players and creators into the mix. That’s part of the bigger vision with this thing. Not just growing the league, but growing the whole world around it.

🤝 Bob Does Sports in the booth?
Somebody asked if the Bob Does Sports crew should commentate YGT events… and honestly, that’d be hilarious 😂 FP calling matches while Joey chirps players in the background? I’d watch that immediately. Obviously what Dave and Barstool have built with the Invitational is incredible, and I totally understand wanting to protect that world if they see YGT as competition. But at the same time, creator golf still feels so early that there’s probably room for everybody to do cool stuff together eventually. We’ll see what happens.

🎥 We’re filming EVERYTHING
One thing I kept trying to explain on the podcast is that YGT isn’t supposed to just be golf matches. We wanna show the stuff around it too. The strategy meetings, wildcard debates, captain conversations, team decisions and alternate picks… all of that. Honestly, some of those conversations might end up being just as entertaining as the golf itself. We want people to feel like they’re actually inside the league while this thing’s being built instead of only seeing the final product on the course.

🚀 This thing’s getting very real
It’s honestly been pretty surreal watching this whole thing come together. The Q was a massive step forward, but YGT feels like the start of something completely different. Bigger events, bigger stakes, more personalities and way more people involved behind the scenes than I think most realize. We’re still figuring stuff out as we go, but that’s kinda what makes it exciting. Feels like creator golf’s entering a whole new era.
