Will Ferrell stars as pro golfer in Netflix comedy series “The Hawk” – Golfweek Rewritten: Will Ferrell Pro Golfer Netflix Comedy Series “The Hawk”

Exciting news for golf and comedy fans alike! Netflix just dropped the first teaser trailer for its upcoming series, The Hawk, starring Will Ferrell as Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins, a former World No. 1 golfer who’s looking to make a comeback. The show follows Lonnie as he tries to secure his fourth major victory and complete the Grand Slam, all while competing against his son, Lance, who’s been dubbed “golf’s new golden boy.”

Joining Ferrell is Jimmy Tatro as Lance and Molly Shannon as Lonnie’s wife, Stacy. With this star-studded cast, The Hawk promises to be a hilarious and heartwarming series.

While we don’t have an exact release date yet, the teaser trailer hints that the show will be hitting screens this summer. And to add to the excitement, the PGA Tour has teased some involvement in promoting the show, so be sure to keep an eye out during the Players Championship this Saturday for more details.

Following the success of Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix, which featured appearances from pro golfers like Scottie Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau, it wouldn’t be surprising if The Hawk also includes some current pros in its cast. Apple TV’s Stick, another golf-themed series, featured cameo roles from players like Collin Morikawa and Max Homa, so we might see some familiar faces in The Hawk too.

Get ready to hit the fairways this summer with The Hawk, a comedy series that’s sure to be a hole-in-one!
