Eager to tee up Full Swing season 3 on Netflix? Here's everything you need to know about the latest season.
Full Swing season 3 release date
We don't have a specific release date for Full Swing season 3 right now, but Netflix has confirmed that a new season is going to premiere in 2025.
Full Swing season 1 premiered in February 2023 and Full Swing season 2 premiered in March 2024. So assuming that Full Swing season 3 follows the same trajectory, we could be getting it as soon as the first quarter of 2025.
The show is a Netflix original, so you will need a Netflix plan to watch. While you wait for the new season, you can watch all of the first two seasons.
Full Swing season 3 cast
Netflix has not announced which golfers are going to be front and center for Full Swing season 3.
The previous two seasons have seen Joel Dahmen become a fan favorite, while the likes of Matt Fitzpatrick, Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas were featured in both seasons. Other golfers that have appeared include Keegan Bradley, Wyndham Clark, Luke Donald, Tony Finau, Alex Fitzpatrick, Rickie Fowler, Zach Johnson, Tom Kim, Brooks Koepka, Collin Morikawa, Joaquin Niemann, Mito Pereira, Ian Poulter, Justin Rose, Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth and Sahith Theegala.
Full Swing season 3 premise
The basic premise is that Full Swing follows professional golfers as they go through the season, giving incredible access into their personal lives, as well as how they prepare and perform in the biggest tournaments.
We don't know yet exactly who and what Full Swing season 3 is going to cover, but we can make some strong educated guesses. The show has made sure to check in on all four major championships during the season (The Masters, PGA Championship, US Open, Open Championship), as well as other marquee events. Each season has also put the spotlight on a newcomer to the tour, so that wouldn't be a surprise.
Meanwhile, things continue to develop between the PGA Tour and the Saudi-backed LIV Golf league, so some updates on that could be touched on. And finally, the Olympics included golf for the third straight iteration, but this will be the first time that Full Swing was around to cover it, so we'd be surprised if Netflix wasn't on hand to cover.
