After a triumphant run of episodes in the new Netflix golf series, Full Swing, our podcast recapping the show was more critical of a sixth installment focusing on Tony Finau and Collin Morikawa. As hosts Shane Ryan, Sam Weinman, and Alex Myers say, there is much to like about the Tony Finau portion, which captures Finau’s compelling and unique backstory, and provides new insight into the balance he strikes between his career and his large family. Where we struggled was with the depiction of Morikawa, who appears to be shoehorned into the role of a soulless, humorless tour pro. Was this a byproduct of Morikawa giving less access? Did the storyline of two pros of diverse backgrounds who were inspired by Tiger Woods work, or was it too forced? We break it all down in our analysis.
