After the PGA Tour’s on-the-go series Full Swing debuted for a second season earlier this week, Tiger Woods is once again absent from the show.
Partway through the first season’s filming, the commotion surrounding the split between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf was once again captured by the Netflix cameras. Even while the original release in 2023 was highly greeted, Woods, the biggest star in golf, was notably absent from the production.The first episode of the second season focuses on the Masters, which took place in April of last year. Despite his continued injury issues, Woods was competing in just his second PGA Tour event in nine months. Additionally, the presentation did not feature Woods’ eventual departure from the event or his return, save for a few walk-by shots.
Executive producer Chad Mumm acknowledged last month’s Golfweek that Woods is a fan of the program, but he hasn’t committed to coming on it. “I’ve heard anecdotally that Tiger has watched the show and really likes it,” Mumm stated. “So we would love for him to come anytime he wants.”
One man who is prominently absent from Woods’ life is his business partner and close buddy, Ryan McIlroy.After emerging as one of the PGA Tour’s harshest critics, the Northern Irishman—who also had a part in season one—returns to play a pivotal role in the story between the PGA Tour and its Saudi rivals.
When the Tour revealed last June that it would be aligning with LIV through a partnership with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, McIlroy and the rest of the golfing community were taken aback. Even the four-time major winner, who had up until now been a mainstay in the off-course politics, was surprised by the June 6 statement.
In reaction, he informs the Netflix cameras throughout the summer’s events that “we have very little information other than we have entered into an agreement, so there is a palpable vibe of confusion and anger.” I have no idea how that agreement will change over time.
He continued, saying, “You get pulled into these things sometimes, and I’ve been pulled pretty heavily. However, I’m on the verge of saying, “F*** it, do whatever you want to do.” After leaving his position as player director of the PGA Tour in November of last year, McIlroy has since distanced himself from the ongoing controversy off the field.
