Frankie Borrelli

What happened to Frankie Borrelli?

Nothing has ended for Frankie Borrelli: as of October 2026 he is still on Fore Play, and what most people are searching for is the last hole of the 2025 Internet Invitational. On the final, filmed for Barstool’s creator golf event and released in November 2025, he played with Paige Spiranac and Malosi Togisala against Brad Dalke, Francis Ellis and Cody “Beef” Franke. GOLF.com reported on November 14, 2025 that, with the match tied on 18, he skulled a tight-lie pitch over the green into the water, said “I did the thing,” and Dave Portnoy said, “I can’t even look at him. I feel so bad for him.” The same match had two rules disputes, one over Spiranac and one over whether Togisala’s rangefinder had its slope function on. Borrelli spoke about it for the first time on Fore Play on November 18, 2025, in an episode titled “Frankie Addresses Losing the Internet Invitational.” The winners and the rest of the event’s story are in our Barstool Sports hub.

Is Frankie Borrelli still at Barstool? Does Frankie Borrelli work for Barstool?

Yes, as of October 2026 Frankie Borrelli still works for Barstool Sports, and no outlet we accept has reported that he left. Fore Play’s Apple Podcasts listing names him as a host, and the show’s October 27, 2026 episode, “Internet Invitational Preview,” is described in its feed as Riggs, Frankie and Trent breaking down the event. Golf Digest listed Frankie “Butter Knives” Borrelli on October 15, 2026 among the returning players in Season 2, which premiered on October 26 with a $4 million purse. His one long absence from the show that we could find was in the fall of 2023, when the October 17, 2023 episode, “Frankie Returns,” welcomed him back from his honeymoon.

What is Frankie Borrelli’s golf handicap? Why is he called Butter Knives?

Frankie Borrelli has not published a current handicap index that we could source, so we do not list one. What is on the record is his chipping. Fore Play started calling his chipping trouble the “Frankie Butter Knives” in 2018, and an October 23, 2018 episode joked that it was spreading to listeners, per the show’s feed. The show filmed Bryson DeChambeau giving him chipping lessons at a PGA Championship, and later tested his game in videos such as “Can Frankie Break 80 At Pinehurst No. 2”. By October 2026, Golf Digest was printing the nickname as his middle name.

What happened between Frankie Borrelli and Wesley Bryan?

Frankie Borrelli had a public back and forth with the Bryan Bros, Wesley Bryan and his brother George, in the summer of 2026, and it played out on the shows rather than in the press. Fore Play’s episode 885, “Frankie Responds To The Bryan Bros”, released August 4, 2026, says Frankie addressed “his internet beef with the Bryan Bros after their comment on a recent Fore Play video” and gave his side. We have not verified what the comment said, so we do not characterize it. The two shows had made a video together months earlier: “The Bryan Bros Challenged Us To A Golf Match”, posted April 22, 2026, a four against two match in which Kevin Kisner joined the Fore Play side. Wesley Bryan was also a Fore Play guest in February 2019. The Bryan Bros story, including Wesley’s PGA Tour suspension, is in their entries.

What is Frankie Borrelli’s restaurant? Is Borrelli’s his family’s restaurant?

Yes, Borrelli’s Italian Restaurant in East Meadow, Long Island is Frankie Borrelli’s family restaurant. The Long Island Herald reported in April 2019 that his grandfather opened it in 1955, his father runs it, and Frankie started working there at 18, expecting to take it over one day. “I thought that was gonna be my future,” he told the paper, and “My dad taught me to love pizza, golf, music and sports.” Barstool broadcast its SiriusXM show live from the restaurant before an Islanders game in March 2019. It still comes up on Fore Play: the show’s feed mentions Borrelli’s on Goldbelly in November 2024 and a December 2025 hang there with Tampa Bay Lightning coach Jon Cooper.

How old is Frankie Borrelli? When is his birthday, and what is his real name?

Frankie Borrelli is 33 years old, born August 13, 1993, per Famous Birthdays. That matches the Long Island Herald, which gave his age as 25 in April 2019. Frankie Borrelli is the name he uses on Fore Play and on X, and the name outlets print; we have not seen a longer legal form published.

Where is Frankie Borrelli from?

Frankie Borrelli is from East Meadow on Long Island, New York, where the Long Island Herald placed him in 2019 and where his family’s restaurant is. He is a lifelong New York Islanders fan, and Fore Play introduced Bethpage Black as his “home course” in a November 2017 episode, per the show’s feed.

Is Frankie Borrelli married? Who is Frankie Borrelli’s wife?

Yes, Frankie Borrelli is married, according to his own show. Fore Play congratulated him on his engagement on October 28, 2021, reviewed his wedding on July 11, 2023, and welcomed him back from a two-week Italian honeymoon on October 17, 2023, per the show’s feed. His wife is not a public figure, so we do not name her.

Where can I watch Frankie Borrelli?

What about Frankie Borrelli’s kids or family life?

Not something we cover.

Who represents Frankie Borrelli?

As of October 2026, no agent or manager is named publicly for Frankie Borrelli that we could find; his show is owned and produced by Barstool Sports. Ames Create does not represent him; we cover him because people keep asking whether he is still at Barstool and what happened on 18, and both answers are on the record. If that changes, this entry will say so.
