Rampage Launched a Golf Channel and Lost a High-Stakes Match

For years, Ethan "Rampage" Yau made poker videos. Now he has opened a new YouTube channel and become a content creator who bets on golf. The first match on the channel was against Nik Airball, a regular guest on the Hustler Casino Live program. Airball's golf skills appear to be just as strong as his poker game.

The two players competed in an 18-hole skins game. At the start, each skin was worth $500. In this format, the total score over 18 holes does not matter. The goal is to win as many holes as possible, and when a hole is tied, the skin carries over to the next hole.

Rampage had a 13 handicap, while his opponent was a former scratch golfer. Airball said he had not played golf for six months, but the two players teed off from the same blue tees. Early in the match, Airball took a 6-1 lead over seven holes and was $2,500 ahead. Rampage won two of the next three holes and cut the gap a little.

On the eleventh hole, the two players agreed that each skin would be worth $1,000. This is where Rampage turned the match around. On the fifteenth hole, Airball missed a long putt, which gave Rampage two skins and put him ahead by $1,000. For the last three holes, the skin value was raised to $2,000. Airball won the final two holes and took the match back in his favor. Rampage raised the stakes to $3,000 on the last hole, but he lost the 18th as well, and he finished the round $6,000 down.

The two players settled the match with a $6,000 coin flip. Airball won, and Rampage ended the day $12,000 in the red. Daniel Negreanu had also previously done golf challenges on his YouTube channel.
