Brad Dalke Surges Into Contention at BMW International Open

His sponsor’s-exemption debut on the DP World Tour follows a recent decision to step away from Good Good Golf to support his wife’s medical recovery.

Overview

  • On Friday Dalke fired a six-under 66 to reach nine under and sit one shot off the lead going into the weekend at the BMW International Open.
  • He is playing the event on a sponsor’s exemption and this week marks his DP World Tour debut in a world-ranked tournament.
  • Dalke announced in late June that he was leaving the Good Good Golf YouTube group to be present for his wife Abbie after two miscarriages and an ocular stroke that led doctors to find and surgically close a heart defect.
  • A third-round 75 on Saturday dropped Dalke back from contention and left him several strokes behind the leaders as he looks to finish strongly.
  • Dalke’s run bridges his elite amateur past and his creator career, drawing large crowds and raising questions about how social-media stars may move between content work and traditional tour opportunities.
