The first episode of Full Swing Season 1 is arguably the weakest of the lot. It follows Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, and while there are some humorous moments and noteworthy tidbits, it lacks any sort of explosive impact. The producers were clearly aware of this and their shrewd response was to put their main asset front and centre at the start of Season 2.
Rory McIlroy features prominently throughout, but the first episode is dedicated to him. It positions McIlroy as the face of the PGA Tour during its ongoing battle with LIV Golf and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, expertly depicting just how much this altruistic deed has impacted his own game. It’s fascinating to watch such a significant year in the history of men’s professional golf unfold through his eyes.
