Watching the 89th Masters Tournament live ranks among my favorite sporting moments ever. Witnessing Rory McIlroy slay his “white whale” at Augusta National Golf Club and finally bring home the career Grand Slam was a genuine privilege. Watching him go back-to-back and win the 90th Masters earlier this month wasn’t such a bad evening, either.
Ever since that fateful day in April 2025, when McIlroy became only the sixth player (and first European) to complete the career slam, I’ve been eagerly anticipating reliving the moment via Netflix’s golf docuseries, “Full Swing.” Since its premiere in 2023, “Full Swing” has done a great job of capturing the highs and lows of the sport, providing insight into victorious moments, crushing defeats, and the on-course narratives.
