A new Netflix comedy series centers on a former PGA Tour player attempting to regain his competitive standing through the Korn Ferry Tour. The opening episode shows the character arriving late to a tournament after his tour bus causes multiple collisions. His longtime caddy collapses and dies during the first round, yet the golfer wants to continue playing.
The golfer’s son appears as a rising PGA Tour player.
Their strained relationship stems from the father’s long-standing focus on golf over family matters. The golfer’s wife seeks a divorce while still requesting financial support for her business plans.
Reviewers noted that the lead character shows little redeemable quality across the first two episodes. The series is described as resembling earlier Ferrell sports comedies but lacking the same appeal. The reviewer concluded that the show should be skipped, citing repetitive character flaws and limited story potential over multiple episodes.
