Stick is a golf comedy series produced by Owen Wilson and created by Jason Keller. It follows the lives of an ex-pro golfer facing marital and financial trouble and a 17-year-old golf prodigy. Wilson plays the character of the ex-golfer whose career ended 20 years ago. To find redemption, he hedges his bets on an upcoming teenage golf star with a promising career ahead of him.

In addition to Collin Morikawa, Stick also features appearances from other golf stars such as Max Homa, Wyndham Clark, and Keegan Bradley. Popular sports broadcasters Jim Nantz and Trevor Immelman will make cameos on the show, with Dan Rapaport, Good Good’s Matt Scharff, Brad Dalke, and Garrett Clark set to make additional appearances.
