How the 2026 format works
Four elected captains drafted 16-player squads. Opening-day play pairs Blue against White and Green against Red at Ozarks National, beginning with nine-hole two-person scramble matches followed by alternate shot. The two leading teams advance after the first day’s combined points. The field is ultimately reduced to a winning trio. This is a different opening structure from the 2025 inaugural tournament.
2025: how the Internet Invitational began
The inaugural 2025 Internet Invitational brought 48 players to Big Cedar Lodge and offered a $1 million prize. Brad Dalke, Francis Ellis and the late Cody “Beef” Franke won the inaugural event. The tournament also generated debate around a rangefinder controversy, covered in our Internet Invitational SlopeGate explainer. The 2026 trophy honors Franke; the organizers have also supported a scholarship in his memory.
