How to watch
The series streams on YouTube. Each episode premieres on three channels: Fore Play, Bob Does Sports and the Internet Invitational’s own channel.
Prize money
Barstool Sports confirmed a $4 million purse for Season 2, up $3 million from the inaugural 2025 event. Brad Dalke, Francis Ellis and Cody “Beef” Franke split last year’s $1 million as Season 1 champions.
Format
64 golfers are competing this year. The field is split into four 16-player teams captained by Brad Dalke, Wesley Bryan, Peter Finch and Ryan Ruffels. No handicap strokes are applied during matches.
That rule drew a public response from Hailey Rae Ostrom. “One part of the internet invitational that didn’t make the final edit: I asked Dave, Kisner and Riggs if the women can play a tee box up,” she wrote on X.
Episode 2 finishes Day 1 with alternate shot and eliminates two entire teams, cutting the field from 64 to 32.
Who’s in the field
New names for 2026 include Johnny Manziel, Justin Gaethje, Dude Perfect’s Tyler Toney, former NBA player Jason Williams and NELK co-founder Kyle Forgeard. Frankie Borrelli is back after losing the Season 1 final, and Riggs returns as well.

Where it was filmed
All six episodes were filmed at Big Cedar Lodge in Ridgedale, Missouri, the same venue as Season 1. Filming took place Aug. 10 to 17, 2026.
The Beef Franke Trophy
The tournament trophy has been renamed the Cody “Beef” Franke Trophy. Barstool and Bob Does Sports flew Franke’s family in to open the 2026 event.
Franke won Season 1 and died suddenly on Oct. 25, 2025, at age 31. The Internet Invitational finale premieres Thursday, Nov. 12, at 1 p.m. ET.
