Golf, Internet Invitational, reviews, sports

I mentioned this in my first post. But now I really mean it: The Internet Invitational is appointment TV. Episodes 3 and 4 took things from “fun to follow” to “I’m genuinely invested now.”

It’s no longer just creators playing golf. It’s pressure, insecurity, hype confidence, and the kind of subtle psychological warfare only golfers know. Even hacks like me.

I’m watching like these are my friends out there. A little jealous. Mostly proud, curious, hopeful, etc.

Episodes 3–4:

This is the stretch where the tournament identity fully clicked. The vibe shifted from casual content to competitive golf with consequences.
You can feel players pressing. Body language visible. And the ole “that’s okay” even if it isn’t.

Characters and story arcs started to actually mean something.

Fat Perez & Trent are the perfect side-content glue. They’re “narrative relief valves.” They understand the emotional temperature. They bring it down to human level without undercutting the stakes. They talk donuts.

They make the event feel grounded. This is real people playing real golf. It is not cartoon characters playing influencer golf.

Dave Portnoy and Big Cat as the Rules Committee / Judge’s Table is a stroke of absolute production genius. Their blend of: selective outrage, “I’m just saying what we’re all thinking,” deadpan emotional arbitration, gives the tournament a backbone. They are tone setters. They are — somehow — exactly the officiating presence golf deserves.

And we’ve got to talk about Chaz Bowker — because he has quietly turned this into The Chaz Internet Invitational. At 4’4″, he’s one of the top short-stature golfers in the world. No forced persona, no theatrics — just confidence and dialed golf. He didn’t arrive as the marquee name, but he’s absolutely becoming the one everyone is watching.

Why This Has Become Can’t-Miss TV

Because this feels real.

Not heavily scripted.
Not overly manicured.
Not purely for laughs.

This feels like watching your Saturday friend group — the whole spectrum — suddenly playing for something that means something.

Looking Ahead to Episodes 5 & 6

We’re heading into the part of the tournament where storylines tighten and cracks widen. The field is smaller. Egos are louder. Nerves are closer to the surface.

I’ll be locked in.

Because the truth is:
I’m rooting for these guys like they’re mine.
