One of the popular faces on the tour, he was strongly courted to switch to the cash-rich LIV Golf Series. However, despite incoming offers, Thomas stayed put, and in the process, became somewhat of a hero amongst the traditionalists.

Netflix’s timing perfect, according to Thomas

As a “golf fan”, Thomas was willing to relive last year’s hiatus and revealed how Netflix couldn’t have asked for better content after recent incidents. “Maybe [Netflix] just knew something that we didn’t. It is mind-blowing when it started at the beginning of the year and the amount of storylines just through players and what they’re trying to accomplish,” he said.

Thomas also expressed how the series would grow golf’s fanbase to extraordinary levels, something which was plainly visible with Netflix’s F1 series. “Everyone who’s a big golf fan will enjoy that side, whereas other people that have maybe never heard of even par before will learn what that is,” Thomas said. “I think that’s what’s very unique about it.”

Full Swing will be on floors from February 15th on Netflix.
