YouTube Star Grant Horvat Reveals Mixed Feelings About Potential PGA Tour Debut
YouTube star Grant Horvat recently won the Creator Classic at TPC Sawgrass, but he remains uncertain about accepting potential PGA Tour sponsor invites. Despite his success in content creation and exhibitions, Horvat acknowledges the significant skill gap between himself and tour professionals.
During an appearance on the 'Dan On Golf Show' following his Creator Classic victory, Horvat expressed mixed feelings about competing in PGA Tour events. While his playoff birdie win at TPC Sawgrass was inspiring, he maintains a realistic perspective about his abilities compared to tour professionals.

"There's a big difference between me and the pros. A huge, huge difference," Horvat emphasized. "The reality is that there's a huge gap between me and the tour pros - it's giant."
While some argue that including content creators in professional events brings new audiences to golf, others contend it takes opportunities away from deserving professionals. For now, Horvat seems content focusing on his successful YouTube channel rather than pursuing professional tournament opportunities.

"I think that's the answer I have. I truly don't know what I would do. I think, right now, I just love doing YouTube videos," Horvat concluded, leaving the door open for future possibilities while maintaining a grounded perspective on his current path in golf.
