Why can't emacs-lsp go-mode not find go executable in path?

In emacs, using gopls but it cannot find go on my path. But it's there, I can run it. Reaching out to the community to see if I'm missing something. I can run a basic gin server without issue.

Using this config, from docs.

Output:

panic: err: exec: "go": executable file not found in $PATH: stderr:

A guess: The PATH env var might be different in Emacs compared to whatever other shell you're running. You can check with (getenv "PATH") in Emacs, and you can set it with 

(setenv "PATH" (concat (getenv "PATH") ":/path/to/go"))

Also if you start Emacs from the same shell that can find gopls, Emacs should have the same PATH var and everything should work.

As far as why the PATHs are different, it has to do with how you start Emacs and your shell.
