Free fantasy golf
Internet Invitational 2026
64 creators. Match play. Six episodes on YouTube from October 26 to November 12. Build a lineup before Episode 1 drops and play along all season.
Free. 0 lineups in. 18+ US. For entertainment only. Official rules.
How it works
Pick. Captain. Climb.
Pick 8 golfers
You get $100. Stars cost $30 to $35, long shots $2 to $3. Three stars eat the whole budget, so you have to find value. Prices move as people pick, so early lineups get today's prices.
Name your captain
Your captain's points count double, and he costs 1.5x. A star captain eats half your budget. A long-shot captain is cheap, if you trust him.
Watch and climb
Every match won and every round survived scores. Standings update after each episode.
Schedule
Six drops. Twice a week.
Episodes release at 1pm ET on the Fore Play, Bob Does Sports and Internet Invitational YouTube channels. Lineups lock the moment Episode 1 is out.
Scoring
Win matches. Survive.
| Your golfer | Points |
|---|---|
| Wins a match | +5 |
| Halves a match | +2 |
| Survives Day 1 | +10 |
| Survives Day 2 | +15 |
| Makes the final | +25 |
| Wins the Invitational | +50 |
| Every $4,000 in skins | +1 |
| Your captain (costs 1.5x) | x2 |
Ties go to the higher-scoring captain, then the earlier entry.
Prices move. Once 20 lineups are in, the most picked golfers get up to $3 pricier and the ones nobody picks up to $2 cheaper. A saved lineup keeps the prices it was entered at.
Team luck is real. A $3 golfer on the right side can carry you past people who spent big. See a full example.
Scoring example
One lineup, start to finish.
Made-up results, just to show the math. This lineup spent exactly $100: a star captain at 1.5x ($50), one contender, and six cheap golfers.

|---|---|---|
| Golfer A CaptainStar, $33. As captain: $50 | Wins 3 matches (+15), survives Day 1 (+10) and Day 2 (+15), makes the final (+25) = 65. Captain doubles it. | 130 |

The captain carries
Golfer A scored 65. As captain he cost $50 instead of $33, and his 65 became 130.
Long shots swing it
Golfer H cost $2 and scored 122. One cheap golfer on the winning side beats a lineup full of stars that lost.
Every lineup has duds
Golfer F scored nothing. You do not need eight hits, you need the right three.
