It may not be the same kind of high-speed sport as Formula 1, but the PGA Tour is primed to take a page out of the racing world in its latest announcement.

In a big-time move the PGA Tour has connected with Netflix and golf’s major championships for an unprecedented documentary series that follows the lives and stories of some of the game’s biggest names.

The PGA Tour and golf’s governing bodies (Augusta National Golf Club, the PGA of America, the USGA, and The R&A) are providing a camera crew with amazing access inside the ropes and behind the scenes.

The series, according to an announcement from the PGA Tour, is set to “capture the intensity of training, travel, victory, and defeat through the lens of a diverse group of players and their support teams.”

The golfers who have committed to the program so far include: 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.

The world’s No.1-ranked amateur golfer, Keita Nakajima, is also set to participate as he plays in the first major championships of his young career.

As it stands right now, there are no Canadian PGA Tour members who are part of the series.

“We are thrilled to bring golf’s leading organizations and players together for this first-of-its-kind partnership and unparalleled window into life on the Tour,” said Brandon Riegg, Netflix Vice President of Unscripted and Documentary Series. “Our members will love getting to know the players and personalities as well as the iconic venues along the way. Even the most devoted golf fans have never seen the sport quite like this.”

According to reporting by Golf.com, a PGA Tour spokesperson said the organization was interested in all-access documentary for several years but had yet to find the right combination of partners.

The Tour and Vox Media Studios began pitching the project in 2019, but Netflix confirmed production in summer 2021.

Filming began at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas last year and will continue through 2022. The series will be produced by Box To Box Films (Formula 1: Drive to Survive) and Vox Media Studios (Explained).
