Four PGA Tour stars will tee it up alongside Formula 1 drivers in Netflix’s inaugural live golf tournament.
The streaming platform has launched its first ever live sports broadcast, capitalising on the success of hit shows ‘Full Swing’ and ‘Drive to Survive’ with the invention of the ‘Netflix Cup.’
And the tournament, which is being promoted as a “clash of wheels and irons”, will be held at Wynn Golf Club on the Las Vegas Strip on November 14 ahead of the first Las Vegas Grand Prix.
