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.
