The Internet Invitational is back. Sixty-four players, $4 million on the line and a field packed with creators, a former NBA star, a UFC fighter and a Super Bowl-winning head coach.
So who can actually play? The USGA pulled the Handicap Index for every player in the field who has one, from Brad Dalke at +7.2 all the way to PFT Commenter at 17.0.
The list does not include the full Internet Invitational field, only golfers who have an active Handicap Index through the World Handicap System.
Round 1 splits the field into four 16-player teams captained by Dalke, Wesley Bryan, Peter Finch and Ryan Ruffels. Teams play a scramble and an alternate shot round, and the two with the most combined points advance. That cuts the field to 32.
