EP#101: Big Break x Good Good presented by Golf Galaxy on Golf Channel. Cy Cyr/Golf Channel 2026/VERSANT MEDIA Tough break, Big Break x Good Good winner.
Golf Channel has canceled its fully filmed 2026 season of Big Break, the Versant-owned cable network’s signature reality competition series. It sort of had no choice — or at least no ultimate purpose for airing the season as planned.
“Following recent developments involving Good Good, and including the fact that the intended outcome of the series can no longer be fulfilled, Golf Channel will not be able to complete this season of Big Break as planned,” Golf Channel said in a statement. “While we are disappointed for the 12 competitors, our production team that worked tirelessly on the season, and the show’s passionate fans, we look forward to Big Break’s return to Golf Channel in 2027.”

TV Why Now Was the Time for Golf Channel to Revive 'Big Break'
Big Break aired on Golf Channel from 2003-2015. This was set to be its big comeback.
Big Break x Good Good, a collaboration with the YouTube Golf young stars, was supposed to debut on Tuesday evening. Mere hours before its scheduled airtime, however Golf Channel announced it was pushing the premiere by a week — the drastic decision came in reaction to the series’ presenting sponsor Golf Galaxy abandoning its endorsement. But now, Big Break x Good Good is dead entirely, as are its winner’s dreams of playing professionally.
The winner of Big Break x Good Good was supposed to receive a sponsorship exemption into the November 12-15 Good Good Championship, a sanctioned PGA Tour event. On Thursday, in the latest — and largest— fallout from a controversial Good Good/Callaway Golf advertisement, the PGA Tour removed Good Good as title sponsor of the event. The event will go on, just without Good Good branding and the Big Break x Good Good winner in the field of 120 golfers.
Golf Channel has not revealed who that winner was. Good Good makes most of its money from merchandise sales.
In the ad, Good Good golfer Alexis Miestowski reaches for Good Good co-founder Garrett Clark’s Callaway driver with Good Good cobranding. Clark rushes her, knocks her down, stands over her and warns: “Do not touch my new driver.”
It was… not a good good look. Everyone involved has since apologized for the spot.
