Internet Invitational Final Centers on Rules Dispute Involving Paige Spiranac and Rangefinder Claims

The pre-recorded influencer tournament’s finale aired with rules accusations, with no penalties announced.

Overview

  • Footage from the final showed Paige Spiranac accused of pressing down grass around teammate Malosi Togisala’s ball on the ninth hole, an action competitors cited as a breach of Rule 8.1.
  • Confronted on course, Spiranac grew emotional and said she believed the action was allowed, stressing she would never intentionally cheat.
  • Togisala separately faced accusations of using a rangefinder’s prohibited slope function, a feature organizers said was illegal for the event; he denied using it as cart-cam clips circulated.
  • The team of Brad Dalke, Francis Ellis and Cody “Beef” Franke defeated Spiranac, Frankie Borrelli and Togisala in the three-on-three alternate-shot final to claim the $1 million prize.
  • Clips posted by Barstool Sports amplified the confrontations and drew heavy online reaction, as prior posts showed Spiranac sharing abusive messages she said she received during the series.
