Internet Stars Golf Event: A Mix of Fame, Fumbles, and Fun
The Barstool Sports Internet Invitational was a star-studded golf event that had everything: big names, big money, and big blunders. Among the mix of influencers, athletes, and golf pros, one name stood out for all the wrong reasons: Luke Kwon.
The Oversleeping Incident
The YouTuber missed his 9:30 AM tee time because he overslept, causing a stir among the crowd and the host, Dave Portnoy.
"I slept through my alarms," Kwon later admitted, joking that it was good for content.
But not everyone found it funny. Portnoy penalized him four holes, letting him join the game from the fifth. Other golf personalities chimed in, with some questioning the fairness of the penalty and others laughing it off.
Golf Rules and Controversies
Golf has strict rules about late arrivals. Usually, missing your tee time means you're out of the game. But Kwon's case was different. He got a penalty instead of a disqualification, which sparked debates among fans and pros alike.
Notable Participants
The event wasn't just about the drama, though. It featured big names like:
- Paige Spiranac, a former pro golfer turned internet sensation.
- Wesley Bryan, a PGA Tour player who's currently suspended.
- Garrett Clark, known for his trick shots and golf tutorials.
- Jon Gruden, former NFL coach.
The Bigger Picture
The Barstool Sports Internet Invitational showed that when internet personalities play golf, things can get interesting. From oversleeping to suspensions, the event had it all. And with a $1 million prize pool, the stakes were high.
But in the end, it was the mix of fame, fumbles, and fun that made the event unforgettable.
