Grant Horvat Golf 2: The Casual Side of YouTube Golf's Golden Boy
While his main channel features high-stakes matches with PGA Tour pros and celebrities, Grant Horvat Golf 2 (YouTube handle: @granthorvatgolfstwo) serves as the more personal, behind-the-scenes counterpart in his digital portfolio. Originally launched with a focus on golf instruction, the channel has evolved into a variety hub that showcases vlogs, equipment fittings, and unique challenges that don't fit the blockbuster format of his primary channel[1]. With a rapidly growing audience that surged past 100,000 subscribers in early 2024, the channel offers fans a "looser" look at the life of one of the platform’s most popular creators[2].
[1][2]Content Strategy and Evolution
The channel was initially known as a destination for pure golf tips, leveraging Horvat’s background as a former college player and instructor. However, it was rebranded to "Grant Horvat Golf 2" to reflect a broader scope of content[1]. The new direction allows Horvat to experiment with formats that are more intimate and less production-heavy than his main channel's "Major" series.
[1]Key content pillars include:
- Behind-the-Scenes Vlogs: Personal updates such as "Why I'm Not Playing a PGA Tour Event," where he explains his decision to decline sponsor exemptions to focus on content creation[3]. [3]
- Unique Challenges: Videos like "The #1 Female Junior Golfer in the World!" which highlight talent outside the typical professional sphere[4]. [4]
- Team Features: Content that spotlights his production team, such as "I Surprised My Editor with a Golf Fitting!," fostering a community feel by introducing the people behind the camera[4]. [4]
- Instructional Roots: He occasionally returns to his teaching roots with videos like giving his wife a golf lesson, maintaining the approachable coaching style that first gained him a following on TikTok[5]. [5]
Audience and Growth
The channel has seen significant growth, functioning as a successful "B-side" to his main powerhouse. In conversations with fellow creators, Horvat has noted the channel's rapid ascent, hitting major milestones like 100,000 subscribers in April 2024 and continuing toward the half-million mark[2]. The engagement on this channel is notably high, with specific videos garnering over 500,000 views, proving that his audience is invested in Grant the person as much as Grant the golfer[4].
[2][4]Creator Background
Grant Horvat first rose to prominence as a member of the collective Good Good Golf, where his smooth swing and "pure" ball-striking made him a fan favorite. After leaving the group in late 2022 to pursue an independent career, he successfully pivoted to solo content, partnering with major brands like TaylorMade and Takomo Golf[6]. Known for his positive attitude and "aw-shucks" sincerity, Horvat has built a reputation as a "people pleaser" who can mesh well with anyone from Tiger Woods to junior golfers[7].
