Billed as a clash of wheels and irons, the
roster for the Nov. 14 event at Wynn Golf Club will feature
eight stars from two popular Netflix sports series "Formula 1:
Drive to Survive" and "Full Swing."
Alex Albon (Williams), Pierre Gasly (Alpine), Lando Norris
(McLaren), and Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) are drivers on the current
roster along with golfers Rickie Fowler, Max Homa, Collin
Morikawa and Justin Thomas.
Four pairs consisting of one Formula One driver and one PGA Tour
golfer will play an eight-hole match with the top two teams
advancing to the final hole, where they will battle for the
chance to win the inaugural Netflix Cup title.
"Drive to Survive", which has helped popularize the sport in the
United States, is in production on its sixth season while "Full
Swing" is finishing filming on a second season.
