Callux Bio: Callum McGinley
British YouTube creator, Big Wedge Golf founder and 2026 Internet Invitational Green Team golfer.
Who is Callux?
Callux is Callum McGinley, a British YouTube creator, entrepreneur and founding member of Big Wedge Golf. He co-founded After Party Studios and the notwoways sneaker label, regularly collaborates with the Sidemen and played on Wesley Bryan’s Green Team at the 2026 Internet Invitational.
How Callux built his YouTube career
McGinley began on YouTube with Call of Duty gaming videos under the BlackOps name before establishing the Callux channel. He became part of the early British creator scene through challenge videos, comedy and collaborations with the Sidemen and KSI. His own videos developed from gaming into ambitious productions, interviews and entertainment experiments. His association with the Sidemen is longstanding, but he is a collaborator rather than one of the group’s seven core members.
After Party Studios and notwoways
Callux helped found After Party Studios, a London production company working on creator content, branded films and programming. His 2025 SXSW London speaker profile identifies Ben Doyle and Richard Mansell as fellow founders and names Sky, Netflix, JD Sports, Adidas and BBC Studios among its clients. He launched the notwoways footwear brand in 2020, demonstrating how a creator audience can support a consumer-products business. These ventures distinguish McGinley from entertainers who focus only on publishing personal videos.
Callux and Big Wedge Golf
Big Wedge Golf launched in 2024 with Callux, W2S, Miniminter, Zerkaa, Calfreezy and Randolph, alongside CEO Seb. The group’s own website documents golf Majors, team challenges, unusual playing formats and collaborations with established golfers. It has also expanded into a golf scorecard and GPS app. Callux contributes the unpredictable comedy and on-course banter that made his original channel popular, now in a recurring golf setting.
The official Big Wedge team profile lists Callux with a handicap of 20 and jokingly calls him the Bunker God and Flop God. That is the channel’s published player profile, not an independently verified current USGA Handicap Index. Video-based trackers disagree on his exact handicap, so this page avoids presenting their estimates as an official index.
Golf creator rather than tour professional
Callux’s golf career is built around creator competitions, social video and group challenges, not a professional tour playing record. His main channel has featured a hole-in-one golf-course challenge, while Big Wedge provides regular opportunities to see his development through full rounds and competitive formats. This distinction matters when comparing him with the professional golfers and highly skilled amateurs appearing in the Internet Invitational.
Callux at the 2026 Internet Invitational
Callux joined Wesley Bryan’s Green Team at the 2026 Internet Invitational and partnered with PFT Commenter in three consecutive released sessions.
Episode 1 — Lost 3 and 2
In the opening scramble, Callux and PFT Commenter lost to Tooms and Josh Richards. Their opponents earned Red Team’s only full point of the morning session.
Episode 2 — Lost 5 and 4
Callux and PFT Commenter then faced Keith Yandle and Daltoosh in alternate shot. Red won 5 and 4. Contemporary coverage records a lineup appeal that replaced Tooms with Daltoosh. Despite the loss, Green Team won the overall contest 10½–5½ and advanced.
Episode 3 — Lost 3 and 1
On November 2, the Green pairing faced Jon Gruden and Salim of Ryan Ruffels’ White Team in a morning scramble. White won 3 and 1 and led Green 6–2 after the session. Callux’s recorded pairing result through Episode 3 was three losses. The later singles stage had not yet been released as of November 3.
What does the result mean for Callux?
His first three matches were defeats, but Green Team advanced from the first round. His creator-golf work is broader than one tournament: Big Wedge’s ongoing matches and Majors provide a longer view of his playing progress.
