The Netflix Cup

And Netflix is live.

You're here exactly where you should be, the only place to be.

You're watching for the very first time, live sports on Netflix.

We're at the stunning Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas, just a few tee shots away

from the sexy street circuit for this weekend's Las Vegas Grand Prix.

This city is keyed up for Formula 1.

And in just a few moments, some of F1's flashiest faces

will tee off with some of the very best golfers on the PGA TOUR.

And this isn't just another round in the desert, people.

No, no, no, no. This is The Netflix Cup.

The anticipation, it's been building for months.

One of the most popular sports in the world in Vegas, baby. Vegas.

But first, how about a little action before the action?

Some of the biggest names in Formula 1

daring to try something even more audacious

than being strapped into a car going 200 miles an hour.

And that's stepping onto this course

with some of the best golfers on the planet.

They all play to win, and they're all ready

to swing to survive.

While the world watches sports

live on Netflix for the first time ever.

Welcome to The Netflix Cup.

In the heart of Las Vegas… Am I living in a postcard? Unbelievable!

This is the Wynn Golf Club.

Immaculate, energetic. Not a cloud in the sky.

A beautiful day.

Welcome to The Netflix Cup.

We're making history, baby. We could not be more excited about it.

Are we kidding? Live sports on Netflix.

Let's go. Welcome, everyone. You found us. You're in the right spot.

My name is Kay Adams. And check out…

You two are a reality show in the making.

Let me do some proper introductions here.

My road dog for the day, a gentleman, a PGA TOUR pro,

and, of course, scene-stealer, the sweetheart of the first season

of Netflix's Full Swing, a bucket-hat tip to Joel Dahmen. How are you?

I'm doing great. I'm excited to be here.

You can't wear a bucket hat. You got a nice side part.

I'm working on it. It's not as good as it could be, but it's nearly perfect.

And you've probably cried laughing,

watching any one of this guy's Netflix comedy specials.

We've been crying rehearsing this today--

Okay. Oh, boy. No, this is "The Machine" Bert Kreischer…

I had a bet going on when you guys were going

to take off your shirts because you've both done it. Take a look.

Talk me through this. What do you mean?

He was better at it, 'cause the shirt coming off needs to be a surprise.

I'm embarrassed, actually, more now than I was in the moment.

I'm going to the gym after this. Wanna go to the gym?

- Let's go to the bar. - You look a lot better now.

These are bodies women fall in love with, not with Blake Griffin.

Two married gentlemen in sunglasses. We're here in this beautiful view…

You're like a walking 16th hole at Waste Management, Bert.

- That's what you are. - That's my energy.

We've got The Machine with us.

We've got Joel Dahmen, and we have so much fun.

This is where Full Swing meets Drive to Survive in Las Vegas.

Why Vegas? Well, 'cause the Vegas Grand Prix is just days away.

So we're putting both of these smash hits in a blender,

with some very Netflix-y surprises along the way.

Let me explain what you're about to see go down on this beauty of a golf course.

This is a competition featuring four teams.

Two players on each team, one a PGA TOUR pro,

and the other, an F1 driver competing in this weekend's Vegas Grand Prix.

We're looking at a scramble format, two separate 8-hole matches.

Each team plays their best ball on a given hole.

If the match is tied at the end of eight holes,

and I hope that happens, the tiebreaker will go to the team

that won the first hole, which is very special.

It's called the Speed Hole. I'll explain it in a minute. Hang on.

Then, the winners will square off

in a closest-to-the-pin contest, crowning The Netflix Cup champs.

And there better be bottles of bubbly at the end of this one.

And it all takes place here at the beautiful Wynn Golf Club.

This is my first visit. The hospitality, everything is a ten out of ten.

Big thanks to everyone at the Wynn.

This is the only golf course on the Las Vegas Strip.

We assure you, though, this isn't gonna be your everyday round on a Tuesday.

No, no, no, no. We've got holes that give nods to F1,

given the race, given the love for Netflix fam.

And we've got some nods

to some of your favorite Netflix shows as well.

Bert, get out of here on the golf course today.

And so is this guy,

give it up for… "Beast Mode," in rare form might I add,

Super Bowl champ Marshawn Lynch.

Marshawn, how is it out there?

Hey, you know what? It's really, really comfortable out here, you know?

I got my nice little sun gleaming right here.

Got the fans right here.

And I see it's like a little… a race car track in the middle of the golf course,

something I ain't seen before, but I'm really excited about it.

All right. Time now… Look at that Netflix Cup in the Sphere!

It's the first time I'm seeing that. This is amazing.

I saw Blake Griffin. I saw Mark Wahlberg.

I'm here with Joel Dahmen, but let's go ahead right now and meet the real stars,

our teams.

To the eighth… Good tee shot from Justin Thomas here.

It's Carlos Sainz's day, in pole position!

It's a long one here for Justin Thomas.

Finds the cup!

Great shot, JT!

…Ferrari!

Elbow's out! Lando Norris has done it again!

The crowd adore him!

That is three birdies. Rickie Fowler's ideal start.

Yeah, baby! Let's go!

Fowler with a beauty!

Let's welcome our first team,

Carlos Sainz and Justin Thomas!

And split!

Let's go, Carlos!

And facing off against them is Lando Norris

and Rickie Fowler!

Let's go, Rickie!

Tony Finau with his second birdie.

Pierre Gasly is in front.

Well done, Tony Finau.

Career-winning number six on the PGA TOUR.

Let's… go!

What a race! What a race!

Two-time defending champ, loves it here, Max Homa.

Alexander Albon who gets his best finish of the season!

What a shot from Max Homa!

Albon goes over the line with the fastest time!

And now our second matchup,

Pierre Gasly and Tony Finau!

Taking on Alex Albon

and Max Homa!

It is getting real.

You saw us five seconds ago.

Yeah, yeah, you two walked the fastest.

Incredible. I mean, the dulcet tones,

those vocals and pipes on one Bert Kreischer, who knew?

We also want to give a shout-out, Joel and I,

and really everyone at Netflix, and F1, and the PGA,

for Tony Finau's, I'm going to say, superhero performance.

He stepped into the competition, what, like, 12 hours ago,

after we found out Collin Morikawa had to bow out with a back injury.

Collin, by the way, is going to join us later up here

to chop it up during the live action.

I gotta tell ya, you guys, attaboy to Finau, right?

Huge attaboy. He is one of the nicest guys on tour.

Not shocked that he stepped up in this moment.

Yeah, and he's here. He's smiling. He is a stud.

We'll see how his putting is today! We're going to get into the action.

I'm excited about some of the special guests stopping by

from the world of Drive to Survive, and maybe even a little…

How should I put this? An appearance by a certain superstar NFL quarterback?

A little Netflix segway.

I just got nervous when you mentioned that.

What do you think it might be?

I don't know. Hope it's one of them.

Rhymes with "Shmahomes," perhaps?

Stay tuned for that right now.

This is where the PGA TOUR meets Formula 1.

And a fitting warmup to the Las Vegas Grand Prix Saturday night.

Vegas is alive.

And if you've ever watched an F1 race, you know all the action starts

with a grid walk, and no, Joel, that's not a new TikTok dance.

It is a spectacular part of the pre-race festivities.

And here for our little spin on it,

Bert Kreischer.

Oh. Here we go. We're going to run the pit real quick.

Should we take a walk? Let's see who we got.

What are we talking about, boys?

I can't wait to see them shoot their first shot.

I think… So excited.

And, yes, competition is on. I'm not talking to that guy no more.

Game's on.

We're talking about throwing them off this bridge.

Our game plan is not the shot. It's throwing them off this bridge.

Is this more nerve-racking than F1?

By far. This is the only thing

I've thought about for the last three weeks.

This is all that matters. So I am very nervous, yes.

Old hat, right, Max?

Yeah. That was the meanest I've ever heard Tony Finau--

I'm sorry. Davante Adams, are you serious--

Sorry, Max. Take a look at who's here! You're just standing here.

- How you doing? - I'm good. How are you?

- Are you a golfer? - I wouldn't say that. I like to golf.

Yeah, what about a driver? Do you drive fast?

Um…

I drive, usually the speed limit.

- Okay. - I do have some fast cars.

Don't drive with Marshawn.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to step over… OG gangster.

The best in the game. Mark Wahlberg.

Brother, it is so good to see you. I love the fit, "MUNICIPAL."

I love it. This is my favorite movie star right here.

We hit each other up on Instagram.

You don't have to be security, you know?

I know. A fight broke out. I'm sweating already.

Yeah, we're gonna… I got your back.

You're a big golf fan, but are you an F1 fan, too?

I am. You know, my daughter Grace actually introduced me to F1.

Grace, do you want to get on screen?

She's the big F1…
