For those who don\u2019t spend every waking minute doomscrolling on the internet (kudos to you, you are the real MVP), the first episode of The Internet Invitational\u2014billed as the biggest golf tournament in the history of the internet\u2014dropped on Tuesday. So far, two popular YouTube golfers, Grant Horvat and Luke Kwon, are grabbing all the social media headlines. Unfortunately for them, it\u2019s for all the wrong reasons. <\/p>\n

Kwon drew the ire of Golf Twitter for oversleeping on Day 1 of the competition and missing his tee time. An egregious offense in a million-dollar tournament, as many pointed out. But he apparently made it much worse by showing zero signs of remorse about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Horvat\u2019s offense was far less offensive but no less headscratching. In a clip that\u2019s gone viral, Robby Berger, AKA BobDoesSports AKA the captain of one of the teams in The Internet Invitational, asks Horvat if he\u2019d like to be paired with Super Bowl-winning head coach Jon Gruden, who is now an employee of Barstool Sports, which teamed up with BobDoes to run the event. Horvat\u2019s response? \u201cI don\u2019t know who that is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yikes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about you and Gruden?\u201d \u2013@RobbyBerger<\/a> <\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know who that is\u201d \u2013@GrantHorvatGolf<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/qjupQktcqu<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/6J2rdZHR4e<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Viva La Stool (@VivaLaStool) October 28, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Most folks can live with you making millions to film yourself playing above average golf. What they cannot live with is a lack of ball knowledge.

A Super Bowl ring. A former lead analyst on Monday Night Football. Now one of the more popular football content creators in the game right now. Not knowing who Jon Gruden is is a major red flag.\u00a0<\/p>\n Gruden responded in kind:<\/p>\n I don\u2019t know him either. https:\/\/t.co\/VAMwTWIfDG<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Jon Gruden (@BarstoolGruden) October 28, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Perfectly handled.
