Sixteen golfers are left in the 2026 Internet Invitational, and all of them play for Ryan Ruffels. Team White beat Wesley Bryan’s Team Green 12.5 to 6.5 at Buffalo Ridge in Episode 4, eliminating all 16 Green players.
The win didn’t last long. Dave Portnoy split White into four teams of four, captained by Ruffels, Grant Horvat, Micah Morris and Big John. One of those teams goes home at the start of Episode 5, which premieres Monday at 1 p.m. ET.
The full episode schedule has the finale on Thursday, November 12, with $4 million on the line. The USGA released the Handicap Index for every Internet Invitational player with an active index before the series began. Ruffels leads the remaining field at +6.8.
