So, it’s golf. They’re planning to have a tournament featuring players from their reality golf shows (which I didn’t even know existed until this moment). I honestly don’t know if golf is easier or harder to show live than other sports.

Seems more like it’s going to be celebrity pro-am golf, with the celeb amateurs being from other sports that Netflix has produced documentaries about — which would be tennis (Breaking Point), Formula One (Drive to Survive), maybe cycling (Tour de France: Unchained)?
