Netflix is set to host the inaugural Netflix Cup, bringing together stars from Formula 1 and golf in a special competition preceding the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The event, which will take place at the Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas on Tuesday, November 14, will feature participants from Netflix’s popular sports series, Drive to Survive (F1) and Full Swing (golf).
The confirmed pairings for the event include F1 drivers Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz, Alex Albon, and Pierre Gasly showcasing their golfing skills alongside renowned golfers. The pairings include Norris with Rickie Fowler, Sainz with Justin Thomas, Gasly with Collin Morikawa, and Albon with Max Homa.
The competition format includes each of the four teams playing eight holes of match play, with surprise challenges along the way. The top team from each foursome will compete in a playoff hole to determine the overall winner. The matches will follow a scramble format, where each player tees off on every hole, and the team with the lowest score wins the hole.
The Netflix Cup will be broadcast live on Netflix starting at 3 pm Pacific Time (6 pm ET) on Tuesday, November 14. Viewers can tune in to catch the action and witness the exciting crossover event between Formula 1 and golf.
In addition to the sports stars, the event will feature additional famous faces, including comedian Bert Kreischer, PGA Tour player Joel Dahmen, sports host Kay Adams, and legendary NFL running back Marshawn Lynch, who will host the live broadcast as the teams compete in this entertaining event.
