Internet Invitational Golf Tournament
The Internet Invitational is a creator-golf tournament built around online golf personalities, team competition, video coverage, and a large prize-money format. The event brings the golf internet into a tournament-style setting instead of a normal one-off creator match.
The first Internet Invitational was played in 2025 at Big Cedar Lodge and featured 48 golf creators competing for a $1 million prize. The tournament has returned to Big Cedar Lodge in 2026 with a confirmed $4 million prize pool, and filming is underway during the week of August 10.
This CaddyBytes page will track the public event details: confirmed creators, teams, format notes, course information, watch information, highlights, results, and recap coverage once the Internet Invitational episode schedule is released.
