So you're so rich that you could play 18 holes of golf for $333,333 and you wouldn't even care? I find that extraordinarily hard to believe. And people who have money understand the true value of money. $333k properly invested turns into many millions of dollars decades from now. So to scoff at it as not being a lot of money tells me that you don't actually have money....your parents or grandparents have money and they give it to you. Because anyone that has worked for real wealth would always be happy to accept $333k with a big smile on their face. Especially when you're on the tee box and it comes down to your team vs another team....you're 4 hours away from either winning it, or the other team winning it. If you say "I don't care about the money" then that's just a loser mentality.
Who cares that her boyfriend is rich? Her and her boyfriend could break up any day now and even if he is a billionaire, he doesn't owe her anything. There is a satisfaction that goes along with earning your own way in life...and not just being arm candy for a sugar daddy. Maybe you just grew up being fed with a silver spoon and you think everything thinks the same way as you. She makes a good living, but she does not have generational wealth. She probably earns 1-2 million per year (and she has a short window to earn that much because eventually the hotness and freshness of her modeling wears off and people stop paying for it and brands stop asking her to post about their product), and you said it yourself...a million dollars isn't much money. You don't get many chances to make $333k from 1 round of golf in a lifetime...99.9% of golfers will never even get a chance to play for $3k.
The internet invitational will definitely become an annual thing. They did a very good job with it. The logistics of capturing all of that and cohesively putting it together over a handful of youtube videos was an incredible accomplishment. I don't like Barstool content in general, with a couple of exceptions, but they hit a homerun with how they pulled this whole series off. And I expect with all of the success it has had, next year the prize money will at least double, and they will get an even better cast of players to compete in it. Some of the influencers were dull and a waste of camera time. Those people will get cut and replaced with better personalities, and maybe some better players to make it even more competitive.
I would expect Paige to decline the invitation for next time around because she was full of shame with how that final round went. She cheated and lied and everyone knew it...and to make matters worse, once she got called out, her game completely fell apart and she didn't do enough for her team to win...same with Malosi. They had an advantage in an alt-shot format regardless of how good Dalke is...he had to play with 2 mediocre at best players. Malosi and Paige are both around scratch players and Frankie is a single digit handicap...in alt-shot they should have been able to consistently post pars and bogeys and put a ton of pressure on Francis and Beef to not get the shanks/chunks/yips and negate the advantage that Dalke has as a tremendous player.

The only person happy about all of this is probably Portnoy. Dude is printing money right now. Should there be a II2026 there is going to be even more drama, because it sells, mark my words.
Oh I understand, I was an Archer and Handballplayer. But money was never my motivation but that is a me thing. I don't have to work for the rest of my life and should I have kids, they don't have to work. And don't get me wrong, I agree with you about the character stuff but they are entertainers and business people. They are never as nice in real life. I also don't understand why she did it in the first place, she is rich, her boyfriend is rich, he works for a bank, my family has bank accounts at, since over 100 years.
