Every sport has attempted to replicate the success of Formula 1’s Drive to Survive on Netflix. Among these attempts, the PGA Tour’s Full Swing series stands out for closely matching its critical and fan impact, especially with the addition of golf’s most colorful character, Bryson DeChambeau.
Arriving at a pivotal moment during the PGA Tour and LIV Golf split, Full Swing has told compelling stories, not only featuring stars like Rory McIlroy but also spotlighting tour regulars such as Joel Dahmen. On Wednesday, the PGA Tour announced that Season 3 of Full Swing will debut on Netflix on February 25, chronicling the 2024 season, and will include names like Joel Dahmen, Tony Finau, Sahith Theegala, Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, and the newly added Bryson DeChambeau, the only LIV Golf player in the lineup.

Bryson DeChambeau has transformed from persona non grata in the golf industry to a well-liked figure, thanks to his YouTube channel and content creation skills. Once seen as a controversial player, he is now the smart, funny, quirky golfer that everyone enjoys. This was evident during the US Open when he triumphed over Rory McIlroy in a dramatic showdown, gaining the enthusiastic support of the Pinehurst crowd. Such moments will undoubtedly provide captivating content for Netflix.
In addition to DeChambeau, there is hope that Full Swing will cover the highly publicized 2024 duel between Scottie Scheffler and the Louisville Police Department at the PGA Championship at Valhalla. The professional golf landscape remains fragmented, with the proposed merger between LIV and the PGA Tour progressing very slowly. Meanwhile, TGL has launched on ESPN, giving viewers another golf option. However, with Bryson DeChambeau joining Full Swing, it reflects a glimmer of potential peace and harmony within the sport, hinting at a reunion that could benefit all parties involved in the future.
