What is the Netflix Cup?

Netflix made two behind-the-scenes docu-series, one on Formula 1 and the second on golf players. The masses loved both series, and as a result, Netflix decided to combine the two for a tournament of its own. It was like hitting two birds with one stone. In the Netflix Cup, four F1 drivers and four exceptional golfers will make a team.

The golfers participating in the Neftlix Cup are Rickie Fowler, Collin Morikawa, Justin Thomas, and Max Homa. The F1 drivers who will be taking part are Lando Norris, Pierre Gasly, Carlos Sainz, and Alex Albon. Each team will have one golfer and one driver. The team will play in a foursome format against the paired team.

The two teams winning the match 1 and 2 will then compete against each other for sudden death ninth hole. The announcer’s deck has PGA Tour golfer Joel Dahmen (who was cast in Full Swing), footballer Marshawn Lynch, comedian Bert Kreischer, and sportscaster Kay Adam.

This is the first time that PGA Tour golfers will be playing on a fun and unrestricted platform. With all four golfers being part of the TGL as well, this exposure will surely gear them up for what’s coming. As in TGL, each player will be miked up and the people watching will hear the ins and outs of the game. For a fun week, tune in to Netflix next Tuesday and enjoy a light-hearted round of golf!
