2026 Internet Invitational results: 3 winners splitting $4 million prize revealed

The 2026 Internet Invitational, a YouTube golf series, has culminated in the crowning of three new champions, who are each taking home a portion of the $4 million prize. Last year's inaugural event saw Brad Dalke, Francis Ellis, and Cody "Beef" Franke claim the $1 million prize. This year's tournament featured a larger purse, with Dave Portnoy and Barstool Sports leading the project.

The event brought together some of the biggest names in YouTube golf, including UFC champion Justin Gaethje and former NFL coach Jon Gruden. Notable competitors like Wesley Bryan, Grant Horvat, and Ryan Ruffels were eliminated before the final round. The final episode of the competition can be viewed on YouTube. Dave Portnoy emphasized the popularity of the series, stating that it makes sense to continue it.

The final episode featured two teams of three players, with Team Blue ultimately emerging victorious, led by Fat Perez alongside Riggs and Bobby Ray. Team Red, consisting of Big John, Ryan Whitney, and Salim, finished with a four-hole lead with three holes remaining, but ultimately lost to Team Blue. Salim was presented with a driver during the final episode, but he declined it, stating, "I'm not hammered!"
