Netflix released a trailer for a golf docuseries, Full Swing, on Wednesday, January 11. The star-studded series has documented the top-rated golfers. It was created in collaboration with PGA Tour players. While some golfers later joined LIV Golf, they are still part of the docuseries.

The trailer saw three major championship winners from last year, as well as a few other PGA Tour players and a few LIV Golf players. The biggest surprise was current World No. 1 Rory McIlroy. When the series was announced last year, he was not part of it. However, his presence in the trailer says otherwise.

The Irish golfer made a surprise entry towards the end of the trailer, talking about the future of golf.

Netflix dropped the trailer on its YouTube channel and social media handles. Fans have been waiting for its release and talked about the series in the comments section of the trailer on Twitter.

Netflix posted a 56-second clip on their Twitter account with the caption saying:

"You picked a hell of a year to start following the PGA Tour. Spieth, Thomas Scheffler, Koepka, Morikawa, Poulter, Dahmen, Fitzpatrick, Johnson, Finau, Theegala, Pereira, Neimann, and McIlroy. Full Swing premieres on February 15."

Fans reacted by saying in the comments section of the post:

"Looks like plenty of drama added like in Drive to Survive. But did we expect anything else?"

While a user took a jab at Ian Poulter and commented:

"I am distraught that Ian Poulter is going to feature heavily. Might not even watch. What a gigantic shame. Oh, Happy Birthday, Ian."

The English golfer recently became the talk of the town after he criticized Ryder Cup Europe for not wishing Sergio Garcia his birthday. The next day was his birthday, but he didn't receive a text from the Tour, and Ian slammed the European circuit for ignoring their legendary players.

Garcia and Poulter have contributed to the success of Ryder Cup Europe. Interestingly, LIV Golf has also forgotten to wish Ian on his birthday. Just after the golfer tweeted about the betrayal, the Saudi-backed series covered up, asking people to join in wishing Ian Poulter for his birthday.
