Internet Invitational 2026 Handicaps: All 64 Players
2026-11-02 · Handicaps
The 2026 Internet Invitational brought 64 golf YouTubers, athletes and entertainers to Big Cedar Lodge in Missouri: tour pros and plus handicaps in the same field as comedians, NFL coaches and The Duke. Here's every player's handicap, team by team, the lowest and highest in the field, and how much the numbers have mattered once the matches started.
Handicaps as of 2 November 2026. A plus handicap (like +5.8) is better than scratch.
Event pageInternet Invitational 2026: every team, every match and the draftHow we work out the handicaps
Most of the handicaps here are ours. Handicap Tracker follows every round these players film on YouTube: the score, the course and the tees it was played from. From those we work out a handicap the way a golf club would, from the lowest score differentials in their latest 20 rounds, adjusted for how hard each course is.
That makes it a live read on how they actually play on camera, not a number they've told us, and it moves every time a new round goes up.
- 38 of the 64 players have a handicap of ours, from the rounds on their channels.
- For the rest (the athletes, comedians and personalities who don't film rounds we can follow), it's their official handicap record where it's public, or the event's own estimate. Those are marked Est.

Do the handicaps decide the matches?
Less than you'd think. Team Dalke had the lowest average handicap in the field and went out on Day 1, beaten 10½ – 5½ by Team Bryan.
Across the first 40 matches (all of Day 1 and the Day 2 morning), 31 had a winner. The pair with the lower combined handicap won 19 of them, and the higher-handicap pair won 12: about two in every five went against the numbers. Nine more were tied.
The biggest upset on paper: Cheddy and Kyle Forgeard beat Biz and Keith Yandle 3&2 in the Day 1 scramble, giving away more than nine shots of combined handicap.
