Full Swing release date, trailer and how to watch Netflix golf series
The upcoming golf docuseries is the latest addition to Netflix's growing list of sports content.
Full Swing is ready to launch on Netflix as the online streaming giant continues to promote its range of fly-on-the-wall sports documentaries.
2023 has already seen the launch of Break Point, following the biggest stars through the ATP and WTA Tour calendars, while smash-hit series Formula 1: Drive to Survive will return for a fifth run of episodes ahead of the 2023 F1 season.
The biggest names in golf will be loaded into Full Swing, and it's safe to say the producers picked an explosive period to cover the PGA Tour given the civil war currently engulfing the sport.
Many of the sport's big names have joined the controversial Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf series, a move which threatens to overhaul the shape of the golf world.
Jordan Spieth, Brooks Koepka and Rory McIlroy are among the big names to participate in the series, as the trials and tribulations of life on the PGA tour are laid bare.
