The Netflix docuseries on the PGA Tour's 2021-2022 season came into clearer focus on Wednesday with the announcement of players committed to appear. Of the 23 players listed, the most notable are Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Collin Morikawa, Bubba Watson, Sergio Garcia, Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas. The series is being produced by Vox Media Studios and Box To Box Films, which has produced Netflix's highly popular 'Formula 1: Drive to Survive.' If the PGA Tour series rises to the level of 'Drive to Survive' in terms of cinematography and compelling storylines, then viewers better buckle in for a fun ride.
