Barstool's Internet Invitational is the GREATEST Golf Tournament Ever

⏱ Estimated Read Time: 2 minutes

Yo, I’m calling it: the Internet Invitational by Barstool Sports is the greatest golf tournament ever! I swear to God, I’m only one episode in, and I am completely in love with this thing. For those who don’t know, Barstool Sports gathered the top internet golf personalities—not pro golfers, but influential content creators who love golf—flew them out, and hosted a tournament. The genius twist? They added elements of Survivor and a Ryder Cup-style draft, making it truly amazing.

What makes this so captivating is that it’s not just about the golf. While golf is certainly a part of it and adds to the drama, it’s not the whole story. If you want pure golf, stick with the PGA or LIV tournaments. This reminds me of why I loved early Warzone tournaments so much; you get to watch people whose personalities and jokes you enjoy, not necessarily the absolute best players, put into a competitive setting. When you combine those personalities with competition, it just gets that much better. It’s like a “Real Housewives” reality TV element has been expertly added to golf, and it merges so incredibly well.

I binged through a three-hour episode and immediately wanted the next one! Good thing the whole tournament is done now, so I can just queue it up and keep watching. I’m completely in love with this, man. The cast is incredible; Andrew Santino, whom I find hilarious, is in it. Daltoosh is just hilarious as a human being—I first came across him during his Nickmercs Apex content, and this guy has got great banter. Roger Steele, an actual golf content creator I truly enjoy watching for his golf insights and personality, is also there. If you’re into golf content on YouTube, TikTok, or any platform, everyone you know is likely in this thing.

Watching this, I found myself wondering if there will ever be a day when my golf channel, Iron Bogey, could grow enough to get me invited to something like this. And because it caters to all handicaps, it feels possible—though I’d probably be embarrassing myself on live TV, which might not be ideal! Still, I love the setup, I love the rules, and maybe in the future, if we host tournaments with friends, these are the rule sets we’ll use, especially given our varied handicaps. I truly can’t say enough good things about this. Go watch it. It’s hilarious, it’s beautiful. And who the hell is “The Duke,” and how have I not learned about him until now? This thing is amazing!

Ai Header Image Prompt: A highly detailed and dynamic illustration capturing the energetic spirit of a modern, personality-driven internet golf tournament. The scene features a golf course environment, with a diverse group of engaging characters actively involved in play and humorous interaction. One prominent figure, clearly identifiable as Sikh, is shown mid-action, perhaps swinging a club or reacting expressively to a shot, embodying the blogger's personal connection and aspiration. Other figures, subtly suggestive of the unique personalities of popular internet golf content creators, are visible in dynamic poses within the scene. The art style is a vibrant and imaginative fusion of contemporary sports illustration and abstract digital art. It features strong lines, expressive character designs, and a rich, impactful color palette. Integrate abstract digital elements seamlessly into the composition: glowing data streams, fragmented geometric shapes, subtle glitch effects, or stylized network patterns overlaid onto the golf course and figures. These elements should convey the "internet" and "reality TV" aspects of the tournament. Focus on expressive faces and natural, dynamic poses, ensuring all hands, fingers, and limbs are anatomically correct and rendered with high quality. The overall composition should exude energy, competitive fun, and a slightly surreal, digital edge without being overtly AI-looking. No text or titles should be present in the image.
