Tough break, Big Break x Good Good winner.
Golf Channel has canceled its fully filmed 2026 season of Big Break, the Versant-owned cable network’s signature reality competition series. It sort of had no choice — or at least no ultimate purpose for airing the season.

Everyone involved has since apologized for the spot.
More to come.
