On Tuesday, Nov. 14, golf fans will be treated to the inaugural Netflix Cup, featuring teams of Formula 1 drivers and PGA Tour pros battling it out at the Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas. Here’s everything you need to know about the Netflix Cup, including how to watch the unique event.

What is the Netflix Cup?

The Netflix Cup is a new event created to promote two popular Netflix sports documentary series: “Formula 1: Drive to Survive,” which follows drivers in the Formula 1 circuit, and “Full Swing,” a newer series tracking star golfers through the PGA Tour season.

Eight players will be involved, comprised of four Formula 1 drivers and four PGA Tour players. The competition consists of four teams, each with one driver and one pro golfer, playing an eight-hole match, with the top two teams advancing to one final hole to compete for the Netflix Cup title.

The event is taking place the same week Formula 1 will hold its first-ever race in Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

What are the teams for the Netflix Cup?

Here are the four teams competing in the inaugural Netflix Cup, featuring one Formula 1 driver and one PGA Tour pro per team:

– Lando Norris and Rickie Fowler

– Carlos Sainz and Justin Thomas

– Pierre Gasly and Collin Morikawa

– Alex Albon and Max Homa

What is the format for the Netflix Cup?

The inaugural Netflix Cup will be played using a scramble format. In a scramble, both players on each team will hit a drive. The teams will then select their best drive, and both players play their own ball from that spot until the hole is complete.

How to watch the Netflix Cup

The Netflix Cup will be available exclusively on Netflix. The match will air live on Tuesday, Nov. 14, starting at 6 p.m. ET. After the live event is over, the match will be available to stream on Netflix whenever you want to watch it.
