UR-Golf Blog Entry #4: Before You Watch Full Swing Season 3

Full Swing Recap

Full Swing season 3 is set to drop on Netflix this Tuesday, February 25. If you haven’t watched the first two seasons yet, stop everything you’re doing and go binge-watch. My experience watching them was similar to watching Beethoven compose Für Elise or Da Vinci painting the Mona Lisa. Whether you are a golf fan or just looking for something to binge-worthy, Full Swing delivers. It brings professional golf to life through the lens of PGA and LIV Golf pros, offering an inside look at the game’s biggest moments.

In season 1, we saw the shockwave of reactions to the emergence of LIV Golf, the heartbreak of Brooks Koepka’s loss in the Masters, and Matthew Fitzpatrick’s triumphant victory at the U.S. Open at the Country Club. Joel Dahmen became the “people’s golfer,” with his U.S. Open journey unfolding like an American hero’s story. We also got an in-depth look at the Open Championship at St. Andrews, where Rory Mcilroy and Cam Smith (pre-LIV contract) battled for the Claret Jug.

Season 2 ramped up the drama. Rory Mcilroy became the leader of the PGA Tour while continuing his search for another major. Wyndham Clark’s battle against his mental health with the help of his mental coach guided him to win the U.S. Open at LACC. Joel Dahmen is now under pressure from his Season 1 popularity, struggled to keep his tour card. We also got personal glimpses of Tom Kim and the relationship between Alex and Matthew Fitzpatrick. But nothing topped the Ryder Cup storyline. Viewers saw U.S. Captain Zach Johnson’s tight-knit relationship with Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, and Rickie Fowler — the so-called “Good Ol’ Boys” club—raising questions about whether his captain’s picks, which snubbed Keegan Bradley, were predetermined. Full Swing followed Team Europe’s Ryder Cup closely as we got to see the heated exchange between Rory and Patrick Cantlay’s caddie Joe LaCava, and Team Europe’s euphoric celebration after reclaiming the cup.

What to Expect in Season 3

It has been confirmed that players such as PGA Tour phenom Ludvig Åberg, 2025 Ryder Cup Captain Keegan Bradley, U.S. Open winner Bryson Dechambeau, fan-favorite Min Woo Lee, Low Masters Amateur Neal Shipley, among others. With so much drama from the past year, here are the must-see moments we need covered in Season 3:

• Scottie Scheffler’s historic season—and his shocking arrest at the PGA Championship
• YouTube golf star Bryson Dechambeau’s U.S. Open victory over Rory Mcilroy
• Keegan Bradley Ryder Cup Captain this year at Bethpage Black
• Neal Shipley at the Masters, from having low am honors to playing alongside Tiger Woods
• Xander Schauffele’s breakthrough major victories, proving he’s no longer just a top-10 machine

These are a few of the many things I hope to see in the next Full Swing season 3. Let’s hope Netflix delivers.

2025 Mexico Open at VidantaWorld

31-year-old Brian Campbell from Irvine, California, collected his first PGA Tour victory in the second playoff hole against PGA Tour rookie Aldrich Potgieter. Campbell went to the University of Illinois and turned pro in 2015 after he finished low am at the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay. His journey hasn’t been easy—before his win today, he had played in only 27 PGA Tour events and made the cut in 10 of them. He lost his Tour card after one season in 2017, and has been a staple on the Korn Ferry Tour. What’s amazing about this professional is the fact that he is 168th in SG: Off the Tee, 141st in Total Driving, and 182nd in Driving Distance, but he finds ways to compensate for his driving woes with “trust and grit” in the rest of his game. Congratulations to Brian Campbell on his well-earned PGA Tour victory!
