More than a decade later, Big Break is finally here. Yes, this is not a drill. Originally premiered in 2003, the reality competition series last aired in 2015. What served as the springboard to professional golf took a hiatus for an indefinite period. However, sponsored and funded by YouTube stars Good Good, Big Break will finally make its long-awaited comeback.

Sharing the update on Instagram, Golf Channel personality Blair O’Neal announced the event’s return. She posted a video clip of herself holding her Big Break MVP trophy, revealing that the Big Break would make its official return in August 2026. Moreover, O’Neal will be hosting the event next year. The carousel included a video clip of the Big Break. Captioning the post, O’Neal wrote:

“💥The Big News is out…. Big Break is back!! In partnership with Good Good, these two powerhouses are coming together in 2026 to create the most epic season of Big Break yet!… and your girl will be hosting!! I’m so excited bc this show was truly my Big Break, and I can’t wait for it to be that for the next winner! ♥️ ⛳️ Let’s go @goodgood & @golfchannel 💥”

In case you’re not familiar with Big Break, essentially, it is a reality TV show that encompasses a series of golfing challenges. These skill-based trials include driving distance, accuracy, short game, and putting. The winner usually receives a sponsor exemption to a PGA Tour or an LPGA Tour event. The Big Break ran for 23 seasons before declining TRP and financial strains led to its cancellation.

Now, with Good Good’s backing in the mix, the event is back with even more thrill and nail-biting competition at every hole. The upcoming edition would feature 12 golfers, two of whom would be from Goof Good Golf. The players would go head-to-head, competing for a spot in the Good Good Championship, a PGA Tour event scheduled for the fall next year.

As a result, the Big Break would serve as a tool to propel underdogs into the mainstream of golf. The event has always served this mission, with Tony Finau and Wesley Bryan among its reputed alumni. In fact, Blair O’Neal herself began her golfing career through the Big Break.

While she carded significant success in the AJGA, financial hurdles and a broken foot destroyed her momentum. Sitting out of golf for a brief interval, O’Neal began her modeling career.

However, her passion for golf remained unwavering, with the Big Break: Prince Edward Island being her first golf event after the hiatus. She ended up runner-up for the event. In 2010, Blair O’Neal finally secured the title at the Big Break: Dominican Republic.

This victory helped her overcome financial obstacles as she pursued golf at the highest level. O’Neal even made it to the LPGA Qualifying School, making it to the final stage. Being a former alumnus, Big Break’s return to television marks a full-circle emotional chapter for O’Neal.

Like O’Neal, the fans are enthralled with the news, too, sharing their excitement on Instagram.
