this tournament has come down to the entire focus being on how drunk Salim is and how he's going to make it through the match. Pretty big letdown given how good other rounds were. I hate that this means Riggs is probably going to win this thing

I feel like this was bound to happen. We all have had the friend who is hammered on the course, but is feeling himself out there.

Then, that extra drink sends them over the edge and they go from close to a 5 handicap to a 20 in the matter of minutes. Brutal with it being alt shot, when they're already the team with worse players.

So I noticed Salim posted on Instagram "day 1/90 of no drinking" and poured out a bottle of tequila in the sink. That was on August 20. He never posted a follow up video on his progress. Y'all think he made it?

I'm on hole 2 and there is no way I'd have been able to hold off from saying something to salim, thus 'ruining his vibe'

$4m on the line. I'd have to fight him if I was on his team after watching that video. Unbelievable composure from Whit and John to not snap.

Honestly, they did all they could do. There’s nothing they could have done better to handle it. Had they gotten mad at him, it would have blown up and they wouldn’t have even gotten to the back 9 before it was over.

Dude hit 5 shots OB including a 150 lay up that he hit through the fairway. unbelievable that none of his teammates the last 2 days confronted him at all. I would have snapped his driver after the second tee shot he hit.

I'm early in this episode and this is hard to watch. Salim pissing away 1.3 million for his teammates had to be an all time wake up call. I get trying to keep the vibes positive for your teammate, but Jesus Christ how hard is it to tell him, "hey dude we will keep the vibes positive, but just ease up on the liquor. Stick to beer for now. It's a really long day."

This grouping has ruined the entire invitational. This is awful entertainment.

Spoilers. But everyone already knows….



If big John and whit had any other golfer in the field except for the duke I think they win. Maybe not pft.

Big John is certainly the winner of the tournament, basically played the best golf out there and was very entertaining.

Whit and FP also came out looking great. It’s a shame it ended the way it did, Salims shtick really grew old and became a tough watch.

ETA they honestly might have won with the Duke, he at least kept the ball in play

I skipped most of that episode…coukd see the train wreck from a mile away. It sucks because there were tons of people there who would have relished the opportunity and this guy couldn’t even keep himself in check for a shot at $1.3M

Just finished. FP and Riggs were hammered. Literally any other player not named Salim with any other top 8 and top 20 player could have put pressure on them to make them crumble. Bobby Ray would have folded, and those 2 were so drunk they would have shanked 2 or 3 if it was only a 1 hole lead. What a disaster Salim created.

John and Whitney played unbelievable to hold that together as long as they did, but they miscalculated thinking Salim was too fragile to correct his behavior at all. Also, Kyle is an absolute shite friend and boss for not getting that under control around hole 4 when he became the cart driver. What a bunch of shithead enablers.

So the Internet Invitational was decided by whoever didn't get matched up with The Duke or Salim.

We like seeing amateur golfers try t handle the pressure of a golf tournament with high stakes, not teams advance with no pressure because of a circus show on the other team.

Salim hit the tee shot on 5 holes.

3 balls out of play and his team had to take a drop.
1 ball hit off the Earth and his team had to hit off of a rock cart path with no shot of reaching the green.
1 six iron on a par 4 to the fairway, 100 yards behind his competitor's ball.


Add in a duck hooked lay up out of play on a par 5 where all he had to do was hit the ball 140-150 yards up the fairway.

Yea it was an unfortunate ending

IMO, Dave should have given the teams a chance to pick a different number 4 player like gruden or PFT up when Ruff got stuck with the Duke or Salim blitzed himself.

Perhaps make it cost them half the winnings or something.

Worst episode of the series and not only because of Salim but more so for all of the fellating/bro hugs between every single shot.
