Breaking Bob: Can Grant Horvat Beat His Friend Playing as a 4-Man Scramble?
@GrantHorvatGolf1,257,808 views · 56:51
Grant Horvat's ongoing "Breaking Bob" series returned with perhaps its most lopsided format yet: Bob gets four balls on every shot, essentially playing a one-man scramble against Grant's single ball.
The format sounds absurd on paper. Bob's ball-striking was exceptional throughout, consistently finding the center of the clubface and capitalizing on the statistical advantage of four attempts per shot.
Result: Bob shot 1-under par to Grant's 1-over, dominating the match. The series now stands at 2-1 in Bob's favor. (hover to reveal)
The video's 1.2M+ views suggest the format's appeal extends beyond the golf itself—the banter about breakfast foods, fast food preferences, and Bob's potential bagel business kept the content engaging between shots. Upcoming formats include a blindfolded challenge and a 7-iron only round.
