Not only will the players be showcased but also the major venues including the Players Championship and Fed Ex Cup. It’s interesting to note that ANGC will seemingly participate at a level not seen before.

I enjoyed watching Drive to Survive and became a F1 fan.  I hope this will have the same effect on golf and help grow the game.

I would binge watch an episodic Netflix series on "The Architects", or "History of Golf"!  Narrated by the Frontline guy.  Love his work in the Pinehurst doc. 


"Drive to Survive" brought me into F1, when I knew little about it. 


It would be great if we don't have to watch them do TikToks, but would prefer discussing shots on courses.   That is exciting about ANGC though.  Of course I'll watch this.

I think this is a great move for the PGA Tour as there isn't much if any behind the scenes stuff around. Great move and will be one of the biggest sports docs on Netflix this year I think.  I hope they expand to the LPGA Tour next year. Also no Bryson? Did he actually say no, or did they not ask?  I have to assume they asked and he said no.
The golfers the series would follow, listed in alphabetical order: Abraham Ancer, Daniel Berger, Cameron Champ, Joel Dahmen, Tony Finau, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood, Rickie Fowler, Sergio Garcia, Harry Higgs, Max Homa, Viktor Hovland, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Collin Morikawa, Kevin Na, Mito Pereira, Ian Poulter, Xander Schauffele, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, and Bubba Watson.

Most liked after airing of the list: Tony FinauWho will get the most criticism: tough, but I think Sergio, Bubba or maybe Brooks depending on his mood I guess.

Jeff,

Looks like BDC bowed up cause he wasn't a big fan of what's in it for him...

P.S.  My prediction is Harry Higgs is gonna be must see TV.  Based on what I've seen and read from that cat, he is hands down the one guy on Tour I would love to hang with the most.  I would certainly agree that I have zero interest in what comes out of Brooks or Bubba's mouths.
