Will Ferrell reunites with longtime collaborators for Netflix golf comedy ‘The Hawk’
NFLX•Ferrell says golf was the creative draw
Ferrell, who has starred in many sports comedies, said he was drawn to creating a series centered on people whose lives revolve around golf.
"I've always been fascinated with the world of golf," he said.
"It's like such a tortured existence for these men and women who just stand over a ball six hours a day taking shots and have to be perfect. And I thought, 'Oh, that must drive you crazy,'" he added.
"The Hawk" begins streaming on Netflix on Thursday.
