Send us Fan MailThe History of Cornhole: From Backyard Game to Competitive SportYou’ve probably played cornhole at a barbecue, a tailgate, or a family reunion—but where did this simple game actually come from? In this episode, we trace cornhole’s unlikely journey from hazy folklore and Midwestern backyards to ESPN broadcasts and professional tournaments. Along the way, we explore legendary origin stories, the game’s modern birth in the American Midwest, how informal house rules became official regulations, and why cornhole has managed to stay both fiercely competitive and deeply social.
