Ken Griffey Jr., one of baseball’s most iconic figures, is continuing to expand his presence in the golf world with a new YouTube series that blends sport, storytelling, and personality. Now 56 years old, Griffey—born November 21, 1969—built a legendary 22-year Major League Baseball career, highlighted by 630 home runs, 13 All-Star selections, a 1997 American League MVP award, and induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2016 with a record-setting 99.3% of the vote.
In his latest venture, Griffey stars in a golf-focused YouTube series titled “Caddie & The Kid,” where he travels to some of the country’s most prestigious courses alongside ESPN golf analyst and former caddie Michael Collins. The series showcases rounds at bucket-list destinations such as Seven Canyons in Arizona, Silverleaf in Scottsdale, and Bandon Dunes in Oregon, combining scenic golf with casual conversation and humor.
The project reflects both Griffey’s long-standing passion for golf and the sport’s growing appeal among new and younger audiences. Known during his playing days as “The Kid” for his effortless swing and charismatic style, Griffey brings that same relaxed confidence to the course, offering fans a different side of his competitive spirit.
Beyond baseball, Griffey has remained active in sports through photography, business ventures, and now media content, continuing to evolve his brand well into retirement. His transition into golf storytelling highlights how elite athletes can successfully bridge generations and sports, while still connecting with fans through authenticity and shared experiences.
