The highly anticipated Full Swing docuseries is now streaming on Netflix to give golf fans, and non-golf fans, the chance to go behind the scenes of the PGA Tour and all four men's Majors.

Full Swing, of course, took place during one of the craziest years in the sport's history with the emergence and threat of LIV Golf.

The series follows the LIV Golf controversy, including some of its notable signings, as well as number of other popular PGA Tour pros and their stories both on and off the course. The eight episodes follow some of the game's biggest names including Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson and Ian Poulter.

Each episode follows certain players and tournaments, starting with Thomas and Spieth in the first, titled 'Frenemies'. The season builds to a crescendo with Rory McIlroy letting the cameras in during the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup conclusion at the Tour Championship.

Take a look at which golfers feature in Full Swing and what you can expect from each of the eight episodes, all available to watch now on Netflix...

The debut episode of Full Swing follows the friendship, and rivalry, shared between Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth. JT gets the bulk of the episode, which mainly follows him and his dad/coach during the week of his second Major victory at the 2022 PGA Championship.

Win or Go Home follows Brooks Koepka at The Masters and sheds light on the American's on-course struggles and lack of confidence following injuries and a loss of form. It also follows Scottie Scheffler, who is quickly rising to the top of the game.

Money or Legacy features Ian Poulter as he struggles to find form in the months between the WGC-Match Play and PGA Championship all the while wrestling over the career-defining decision to leave the PGA Tour, the Ryder Cup and his legacy and take the money to join LIV Golf.

Imposter Syndrome follows the self-deprecating Joel Dahmen and his jouney from qualifying for the US Open to his week at Brookline. Joel reveals his lack of confidence in his game, why he thinks he'll never be great and also looks into the unique relationship between him and his caddie.

American Dreams features both Matt Fitzpatrick and Dustin Johnson. DJ explains his decision to join LIV Golf while the episode concludes with Fitzpatrick's US Open triumph following his disappointment of coming up shy at the PGA Championship.

'Don't Get Bitter, Get Better', a famous Tiger Woods quote, looks into the contrasting careers, and lives, of Tony Finau and Collin Morikawa, who both got into the game after being inspired by Woods. It offers a close look into the family, and tragedy, of Tony Finau and follows him as he wins in back-to-back weeks on the PGA Tour.

Golf is Hard focusses on PGA Tour rookies Sahith Theegala and Mito Pereira as they each experience close calls, and heartbreaks, in their debut season in the big league. It follows Sahith Theegala's WM Phoenix Open near-miss and Mito Pereira's agonising PGA Championship loss.

The final episode, Everything Has Led To This, belongs to Rory McIlroy. It follows him at the 150th Open at St Andrews and then takes in the FedEx Cup conclusion at the Tour Championship, all the while the PGA Tour continues to make changes amid the threat of LIV Golf.
