sudo has its own $PATH which is defined by the secure_path setting in your sudo config.

To fix it:

1. Open your sudo config sudo visudo
2. Locate the line staring with Defaults secure_path =
3. Add :/usr/local/go/bin to the end of the line

After saving the config, you should be able to use go with sudo
