Drive, Pitch, and Putt to Survive: All You Need to Know About Golf on Netflix

One has to be living under the rock to look past the countless sports documentaries that have been released. From Michael Jordan to Tiger Woods, many greats and their stories have been immortalized on the screen. The reception has mostly been great, as viewers often enjoy a glimpse into a celebrity’s life. The most recent addition to this list should be the PGA Tour, ready for an exciting documentary.

The tour has apparently tied up with popular platform Netflix and will include the iconic major championships.

Let’s take a look at the details, and what Netflix and the PGA Tour have planned.

PGA Tour has a new tie-up with Netflix for an amazing documentary

Now, Netflix’s documentary won’t just cover the tour, but also on all the major championships that they will work with. The crew will have access to event venues, and also focus on some other events apart from The Masters, The Open Championship, the US Open, and the PGA Championship. Players included in the documentary will be shown as they are, the project looking to make the audience understands how their life worked.
