π Hey yβall - George here. PGA Championship week is always one of my favorites. We got a bunch of good questions this week about Peter Finch, YGT, my rehab and PGA picksβ¦ so I figured Iβd answer a few of them in here. Feels like creator golf is entering a really fun phase right now.
P.S. This weekβs Tip of the Week is for anyone struggling with their sequencing π

π₯ Peter Finch goes way back for us
We first met Peter back around 2013 or 2014 during the early trick shot and Whistle Sports days. Me, Wesley, Peter, Rick Shiels, Me and My Golf⦠all of us were around that early YouTube golf world before anybody knew how big it would become.
We filmed together out at the PGA Show in Orlando and hit it off right away. Peter was already ahead of the game from a content standpoint, but what stood out most was how much he loved golf itself. Great attitude, super knowledgeable, funny guy and somebody who genuinely cared about getting better and helping other people improve too.

β³ Finchyβs game = trending
One thing I really respect is that Peterβs still pushing himself competitively. A lot of creators get so busy filming that tournament golf slowly fades into the background. Heβs gone the opposite direction.
Heβs made a real effort the last few years to improve his game, play qualifiers and compete seriously again. Thatβs not easy when youβre creating content full-time.
I honestly think his game now is as good, maybe even better, than it was 10 years ago. Thatβs pretty impressive.

ποΈ YGT... motivation level π
YGT has definitely pushed all of us to practice harder. Once teams, drafts and competition get involved, it changes the energy pretty quickly.
For me personally, the frustrating part right now is balancing that motivation with the side injury. Iβm trying to keep the game sharp while also not pushing things too far physically.
Wesley has been absolutely grinding lately though (kinda scary tbh). You can feel how competitive everybodyβs getting already, and I think thatβs gonna make YGT really fun to follow.

π We want your thoughts on YGT
One thing Iβd genuinely love feedback on is where yβall want to see YGT go over time.
More behind-the-scenes stuff? Bigger team rivalries? Trades? More serious competition? More chaos? Different formats?
We read way more replies than people probably think. So hit reply and let us know what would make this the most fun for you guys to follow.

π My PGA Championship picks
Iβm gonna say Brooks Koepka is gonna contend at some point this week. Feels like a course that sets up really well for him.
I also think this place looks perfect for Scottie Scheffler. Then Iβll throw in Matt Fitzpatrick as a sneaky pick too.
And you can never count Rory out in a major.

π¬ Major Cut at Aronimink?
A bunch of yβall asked if we could do a Major Cut around Aronimink during PGA week.
Right now I donβt think itβs possible because of course availability, scheduling and a few logistical things happening around the event.
But trust meβ¦ weβd absolutely love to make something like that happen in the future.

Thatβs it for this weekβs Bryan Brief.
Really appreciate all the feedback and replies lately. Itβs been awesome seeing how invested everybody already is in YGT and creator golf as a whole. Feels like this space is entering a completely new chapter right now. π Whatβs one thing youβd love to see added to YGT in the future? Hit reply and let me know.
