We’ve been following the YouTube Golf Power Rankings for 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 results 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. of the data comes from the handicap tracker which monitors scores from golf videos on YouTube and calculates handicaps based on those rounds.
Grant Horvath
Horvat provided one of the most comprehensive stretches of golf in this update.
At Torrey Pines, he was the only player in his group to make the cut playing alongside the Bryan Bros. He followed that up with a hole in one and a 5-under 67 in a round with Justin Rose. Horvat’s performance moved him up seven points on the leaderboard and pushed his handicap to +4.2.
Evan Thompson
Thompson made an early statement in a 2v1 matchup against the Savannah Bananas.
He reached 3-under through seven holes and controlled the match from there. The round contributed to a steady climb, taking Thompson to six points and taking his handicap to +3.1.
Rick Shiels
A 1-under round at Highland Gate in South Africa stands out as one of his most controlled performances in recent memory. Shiels moved up six spots on the leaderboard and now has a +1.3 handicap.
Peter Finch
Finch added another consistent performance in his recent form. His recent rounds continue to reflect improved control and scoring consistency, which is starting to show on the handicap tracker.
Finch moved up three spots on the leaderboard and now has a +1.4 handicap.
Harry no
He gave us a clean 2-under round during the Battle of the Majors at Pukekohe Golf Club.
Performance was built on limiting errors and taking advantage of scoring opportunities without forcing the issue. We moved up two spots on the leaderboard and are now on a +2.3 handicap.
Josh Kelley
Kelley continues to show steady improvement with another strong stretch of play.
While there hasn’t been a single standout round, consistency in recent videos is contributing to the gradual movement up the handicap tracker. Kelley moved up two spots and is now on a +2.0 handicap.

Paddy Moloney recorded the biggest impact by a round in this update as he shot 86 (+14) in Masters Fore Bros. The result produced a -0.9 change, the largest move by 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 made notable changes based on their recent performances.
