The second Internet Invitational was filmed during the week of August 10 at Big Cedar Lodge in Ridgedale, Missouri, and is being released as a six-episode YouTube series. Episode 1 introduced the 64-player field, four team captains, snake draft and opening scramble session at Ozarks National.
Team Peter Finch led Team Ryan Ruffels 4½–3½ at the end of Episode 1. In the other contest, Team Wesley Bryan led Team Brad Dalke 5–2, with one opening-session result still to be completed or shown.
Episodes 2, 3 and 4 are available now as the competition continues toward the $4 million finale. Open the recap and highlights section first, then watch all four complete episodes directly on CaddyBytes.
📌 How the 2026 Internet Invitational Works
Four Drafted Teams
The 64 competitors voted Peter Finch, Ryan Ruffels, Brad Dalke and Wesley Bryan into the captain positions. Each captain then drafted a 16-player team.
Day 1 — Sixteen Points
Each head-to-head contest contains eight nine-hole scramble matches followed by eight nine-hole alternate-shot matches. Every match is worth one point and no handicaps are used.
64 Players Become 32
The winner of Finch–Ruffels and the winner of Bryan–Dalke advance after Episode 2. Later episode formats will narrow the field to a three-player championship team.
