The Internet Invitational is returning for a second season after capturing the YouTube golf world’s attention last year with viral moments and late tee times. Season 2 features 64 competitors, including athletes, influencers, and creators, battling for a $4 million prize pool.
Tournament Details and Schedule
Returning names such as PFT Commenter, Paige Spiranac, and YouTube golf personality Grant Horvat will be joined by newcomers like Johnny Manziel, Justin Gaethje, and Jason “white chocolate” Williams. New episodes will premiere every Monday and Thursday starting on October 26th.
Best Chance to Win
Because the tournament uses a team draft format rather than a traditional lowest-score victory, strategic drafting is essential. Cody “Beef” Franke, Francis Ellis, and Brad Dalk won the 2025 event.
Grant Horvat enters as one of the most popular and skilled YouTube golfers with a USGA Official Handicap Index of +1.9, making him a top draft prospect who consistently brings positive energy. Sabrina Andolpho holds the tournament’s lowest handicap at 0.4, having played college golf at Barry University, participated in LPGA events, and founded Golf Girl Games. Former NHL player and podcast host Ryan Whitney also brings strong golf skills alongside outspoken opinions and competitive drive.
Most Entertaining Golfers
Former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel makes his tournament debut with a 1.7 handicap index, bringing a willingness to engage in trash talk and embrace the spotlight. Paige Spiranac, boasting over four million Instagram followers, returns as a highly recognized golf personality with a +2.4 handicap following a cheating controversy last year. UFC legend Justin Gaethje also joins the field for the first time, adding anticipation for how his competitive fighting background will translate to the course.
Worst Golfers
Joey Cold Cuts brings less skill to the course alongside his YouTube Hater Series, though he remains a popular hang despite potential volatility. Super Bowl champion Jon Gruden contributes motivational energy and speeches rather than reliable golf performance. Meanwhile, Pardon My Take podcast host PFT Commenter carries the highest handicap index in the field while providing humor and commentary.
Episodes will be released weekly on Mondays and Thursdays as the 64 competitors play through the tournament structure.
