We’ve been following the YouTube Golf Power Rankings for several months now, and the leaderboard continues to evolve as more rounds are added to the handicap tracker database.
Here are the current top 10 players as ranked by Handicap Tracker. The site monitors golf videos on YouTube and calculates each player’s handicap on camera.
- Bryson DeChambeau (+9.9)
- Jason Day (+8.7)
- Brad Dalke (+7.1)
- George Bryan (+6.9)
- Nick Voke (+6.9)
- Pavan Sagoo (+6.8)
- James Nicholas (+6.6)
- Josh Oddy (+6.4)
- Jean-Philippe Mehu (+6.1)
- Ryan Ruffels (+6.1)
Now let’s get into the biggest moves on the handicap leaderboard over the past two weeks.
Peter Finch
Finch was one of the biggest movers of the period thanks to a strong golf run at Kiawah Island Resort in his ongoing match streak against Sean Walsh.
Rounds 2 and 3 at Osprey Point and Cougar Point showed the consistency that had been lacking earlier in the year. After a relatively slow start to 2026, Finch is trending in the right direction and has moved up six spots on the leaderboard at a +1.9 handicap.
Danny Elder
Elder nearly matched Finch’s improvement and also jumped six spots in the rankings.
The highlight came at Monifieth Golf Links, where he made a serious run at breaking 60. While the dream fell short, an 8-under 60 remains one of the best rounds recorded on the Handicap Tracker this season.
The performance pushed Elder to a +2.5 handicap and further cemented his position among the top players on the leaderboard.
The decline of golf
Not every climb up the leaderboard comes from a single low round.
The Golf Slump continued its steady rise thanks in part to the movement around it. While there was no major improvement in scoring during this period, several players behind and around him slipped back, allowing him to gain four positions and achieve a +2.0 handicap.
Evan Thompson
Thompson took on one of golf’s toughest challenges trying to qualify for the US Open.
Playing at Shingle Creek Golf Club, he posted an even par round that lowered his handicap slightly, though it wasn’t enough to advance into qualifying.
Josh Oddy
Playing his home course, Shanklin & Sandown Golf Club, Oddy shot a 10-under 60.
The result moved Oddy into the top 10 rankings and helped him climb three spots to a +6.3 handicap.
Then Hendriksen
Hendriksen continued his steady improvement in a pro-versus-pro matchup against Chris Gill.
At West Cornwall Golf Club, a 1-over score through nine holes may not immediately stand out, but anyone who knows the course knows how difficult the challenge can be.
Taco Golf & Luke Toomey
The latest challenge from the New Zealand crew added a twist: miss a hole and drink a beer.
Despite the distractions, both Taco Golf and Luke Toomey managed to keep their games under control, going 1-under through nine holes while navigating the added pressure.
Ash Mullin
Mullin quietly produced one of his best rounds of the season at the Madison Invitational.
A tidy 2-under round at the Centurion Club highlighted the consistency that has become a hallmark of his game. The result earned him another reduction in his handicap and moved him up two places in the rankings.
Frankie Borrelli
“Best round ever?” The challenge produced a notable result for Borrell at Sebonack Golf Club.
A 6-over score may not sound extraordinary at first glance, but Sebonack’s demanding setup and slope rating make every shot count. The result was strong enough to move Borrell up a spot and continue his gradual climb up the leaderboard.
Biggest Impact on Handicap (single video)
The largest handicap from a video belonged to Not A Scratch Golfer as he shot 75 (+4) in Shooting 68 vs Shooting 75. The round resulted in a 0.6 reduction in his handicap. Josh Oddy followed with a 0.5 drop after a 10-under 60.
