When “Full Swing” debuted on Netflix in 2023, the series was the first of its kind in pro golf, offering an in-depth, insider look at some of the game’s most famous names and the intricacies of their competitive and personal lives.
The series was released at an opportune time, too — the golf world had recently split into PGA Tour and LIV Golf silos, and tensions were high. Viewership numbers reflected fans’ intense interest in the emerging power struggles between the two tours and their stars.
And according to Sports Business Journal’s Josh Carpenter, there’s more to come, with a fourth season reportedly on the way. “Sources anticipate a six-episode season,” Carpenter said on X. The first two seasons of “Full Swing” had eight episodes, while the third season had six.
Details on what will be covered in Season 4 have yet to be announced, but there’s plenty of fodder to work with, from Rory McIlroy’s redemptive win at the Masters to clinch the career Grand Slam to Scottie Scheffler’s six-win season. Netflix cameras were also rolling at the recent Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, where Keegan Bradley captained the U.S. team to a 15-13 loss to the Europeans. Bradley’s storyline is another likely focal point, as his gutted reaction to being left off the 2023 Ryder Cup team in Rome remains one of “Full Swing’s” most memorable moments.
A release date for Season 4 has not yet been announced, but if it follows the cadence of the previous three seasons, viewers can expect the episodes to drop sometime in February or March next year.
