Rejoice, golf fans! You have something else to look forward to this spring other than warm weather returning.
Apple TV+ announced the highly anticipated new comedy series starring Owen Wilson as a washed-up golf pro will debut on June 4. Go ahead and say it. “Wow.”
In addition to the release date, the streaming platform also revealed the name of the new show (“Stick”), the cast, and some fun PGA Tour cameos. Wilson plays Pryce Cahill, an ex-pro golfer whose career was cut short prematurely 20 years prior, who takes a 17-year-old golf prodigy named Santi (played by Peter Dager) under his wing.
Marc Maron, Mariana Trevino, Lilli Kay, Judy Greer and Timothy Olyphant also star in the series created by “Ford v. Ferrari” writer Jason Keller. And PGA Tour stars Collin Morikawa, Max Homa, Wyndham Clark and Keegan Bradley are just some of the golf-related people playing roles in the show. Have a look!
CBS announcers Jim Nantz and Trevor Immelman are also involved. Fun!
Here are a couple more first-look photos of the show provided by Apple:
According to Apple, “Stick” is a heartfelt, feel-good comedy about a found family and their relationships set within the world of golf as it has never been shown before. And as Apple TV+ has shown with “Ted Lasso,” they know a thing or two about heartfelt, feel-good comedies.
Anyway, the first three episodes will drop June 4 with one new episode airing per week every Wednesday through July 23. OK, now back to winter for us northeasterners at The Loop. This brutal, brutal winter. Sigh.
