Netflix Aims to Heal Wounds Caused by Bryson Dechambeau, Rory McIlroy & Others As Latest Decision Makes Waves

One of the most anticipated events of the 2024 season was The Showdown between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. Scottie Scheffler & Rory McIlroy went up against Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka in an ultimate contest. The exhibition was created to prove which is the better league of the two. However, things didn’t go as planned for the event sponsored by Crypto.com.

The Showdown had a lot of issues. It miserably failed to live up to all the hype it had created. The scheduling time was the biggest and most glaring problem of the event. Sundown is not the ideal time to play golf. The event looks even worse when it is watched on television. In the end, the show ended up failing miserably with the only positive part for the PGA Tour fans being Scheffler & McIlroy’s win. But Netflix is about to change all that in the coming weeks.

Netflix makes a major announcement to the pleasure of the fans

The miserable experience of The Showdown may have left some scars on the community. But fans will soon be able to forget it once Netflix’s Full Swing makes a return the the third consecutive season. Yes, the much-loved documentary series is making a comeback on the popular streaming service. Interestingly, the production team has also released the list of players they will be covering during the third season of the series.

As shared in a tweet by Golf Digest writer, Alex Myers; “Season 3 of Netflix’s “Full Swing” will drop February 25 and feature a wide range of players, including Bryson, Rory and Scottie.” They also shared added a “Here’s a bigger list:”, prompt that led to an image of the complete list of players.

Just to confirm, the list features Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler, and 15 other top golfers. Interestingly, the list also includes Keegan Bradley. This suggests that there might be a couple of segments about the 2025 Ryder Cup and Team USA. Fans may also get to see bits about the PGA of America’s decision about paying its players for participation in the 2025 Ryder Cup. But this is all just speculation.

The community will be excited to learn that the Full Swing is returning for season 3 on February 25, 2025. But why have the fans shown so much love for the documentary series? Let’s take a look at its previous season.
