When golf fans tune into the second season of Netflix’s Full Swing starting Wednesday (warning: there are spoilers ahead in this article), they’ll find quite a few familiar faces while working through the eight episodes. Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Matt Fitzpatrick, Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth and Joel Dahmen all returned for another year of filming after Full Swing’s booming success in 2023.
But with a fresh year’s worth of behind-the-scenes content comes new revelations. And as viewers continue to follow those mainstay characters, they’ll learn more about them—even if players might not want certain things to be learned.
Dahmen came into Season 1 of Full Swing as an “if you know, you know” PGA Tour journeyman. The bucket hat made him stand out and to those who followed closely, he was always known as a candid and entertaining interview. Then Netflix broadcast Dahmen’s story to the world and made him an instantly relatable star. He touched viewers by sharing his battle with testicular cancer and the trauma associated with losing his mother, while providing laughter with his self-deprecating humor and close bond with caddie Geno Bonnalie.
