'Full Swing' will have limited access at the Ryder Cup after Team USA captain Zach Johnson said concerns were raised about a film crew in the rooms.
Netflix is in production for its second season of the series that has been popular with golf fans and even those who didn't pay much attention to the sport. Nielsen Media Research analysis in U.S. markets showed 60% of viewers are between the ages of 25 and 54, and 63% of viewers watched the PGA Tour in the two months following the series' debut.
But there were enough concerns from a few players about letting Netflix into the team room at Marco Simone that Johnson polled his players and they chose to keep the team room private. A Netflix spokesperson declined comment. Netflix typically does not discuss potential content for a series currently in production., said he first was aware of the Netflix presence when he received a player participation and benefits agreement in July, a month before Ryder Cup qualifying had ended.
The Americans and Europeans have a team room at the golf course and at the host hotel for the Ryder Cup that historically are off limits to the media and other VIPs not directly involved in the matches.
