Summary: The Big Break has been revived for a new season, branded as Big Break x Good Good, and is set to premiere in August 2026 on Golf Channel. The revival marks an 11-year hiatus since the last season aired in 2015. Blair O’Neal is attached as host, with several Good Good Golf members (including Brad Dalke and Sean Walsh) appearing as contestants, and Matt Scharff serving as co-host. The format will include familiar drill downs and team captain dynamics, and the winner earns an exemption into a high-profile PGA TOUR-related event in late 2026. These details come from multiple outlets reporting on the announcement of the revival and its cast/production partners.
