LOS ANGELES – In a city full of stars, Netflix is hoping to create a few more with the Hollywood launch Wednesday of its highly anticipated docuseries, “Full Swing”, which set out to chronicle the lives and careers of more than a dozen PGA Tour players.
Following the model of Netflix’s game-changing “Drive to Survive”, which has been credited with Formula 1’s massive spike in popularity, the eight-episode “Full Swing” series doesn’t just bring fans inside the ropes – it also provides unprecedented access into the fitness trailer, private jets and locker rooms occupied by the game’s biggest stars, from Rory McIlroy to Jordan Spieth to Justin Thomas.
