Netflix confirmed the news on Wednesday.
Netflix have announced that they will be teaming up with the PGA to create a brand-new docuseries that will follow the lives of some of the best golfers around the world across the 2022 season. The new Netflix golf show has landed some big names too but, as of yet, no Rory McIlroy.
The popular streaming company made the announcement on Wednesday (January 12), where they confirmed that as well as the covering the PGA Tour, they will also follow some of golf’s biggest major tournaments including all four major championships.
