LIV Golfers are reportedly concerned that they may be excluded from the potential second series of Netflix’s popular documentary series, ‘Full Swing’.

According to reports, the LIV Golfers feel ignored by Netflix, as they have yet to receive any communication from the streaming giant regarding their involvement in the potential second series of ‘Full Swing’. The first season of the show, which aired in 2020, featured the likes of Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, and Matt Kuchar.

The LIV Golfers are part of the new Saudi Arabian-backed golf tour, which has caused controversy due to its ties to the Saudi government and the country’s human rights record. With the PGA Tour allegedly pressuring Netflix to exclude the Rebel Tour from the second season of ‘Full Swing’, the LIV Golfers are concerned that they may also be excluded from the documentary series.
