The first season of Netflix docuseries Full Swing offered a glimpse into the lives of players including Justin Thomas, Ian Poulter, Joel Dahmen and Tony Finau, and just over a year on, there are new and returning faces as the second season premieres on Wednesday 6 March.
The new season will once again feature players including Thomas, Dahmen, Rory McIlroy, Matt Fitzpatrick and LIV Golf's Dustin Johnson. However, much of the focus will also be on new faces including Rickie Fowler, Tom Kim, Alex Fitzpatrick, Wyndham Clark, Keegan Bradley, Justin Rose and Ryder Cup captains Luke Donald and Zach Johnson.
The first season followed one of the most tumultuous periods in PGA Tour history as players came to terms with the emergence of LIV Golf in 2022 and the year after, which is covered in the second season, was equally memorable.
The period included the shock merger announcement between the PGA Tour and Saudi Public Investment Fund that bankrolls LIV Golf - a deal so seismic that the full implications of it are still unclear. As well as the off-course turbulence, there was plenty of drama on it, too, including McIlroy's attempts to win his first Major for nine years.

The Majors also featured LIV Golf players teeing it up alongside their PGA Tour counterparts for the first time since their controversial moves. As if that wasn't enough, Luke Donald's Team Europe hosted Team USA, captained by Zach Johnson, in the Ryder Cup at Marco Simone, and the series finishes with a two-part finale dedicated to the events in Italy.
In a press conference before the Pebble Beach-Pro Am with Clark, producer Chad Mumm revealed that the American's US Open triumph will feature as part of an episode focusing on him and Dahmen, which Mumm described as "legitimately moving."

On his involvement, Clark said: "I've had a lot of adversity and challenges thrown my way and I think my story will I hope inspire a lot of people and the people that have had similar stuff happen in their life that maybe this is inspiration for them to keep going and anything like that."
With that to look forward to, and a host of other dramatic events throughout its eight episodes, the chance to relive another historic year for the PGA Tour through the experiences of some of its biggest names promises to once again make for compelling viewing.
