HIS 2024 season included two of the best stories in golf.
But it wasn’t enough for Bob MacIntyre to make the cut on Netflix‘s hit series surrounding the sport, Full Swing.
The Scots golf ace, who climbed to a career-high world ranking of 15 this past year, has been snubbed by the streaming giants for the upcoming season of the fly on the wall documentary series.
MacIntyre enjoyed a debut season to remember on the PGA Tour, winning two events and taking home a staggering amount of cash.
His highlight was winning the prestigious Scottish Open (an event co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour and the PGA) in front of a home crowd at the Renaissance Club a year after suffering heartbreak on the final hole at the hands of a brilliant Rory McIlroy.
That win spawned a 24-hour party of a lifetime as the Oban ace went on a hilarity-filled bender with his family and friends.
But that wasn’t the only fairytale success of the left-hander’s season.
A month earlier he claimed an improbable victory at the Canadian Open, winning with his dad filling in as his emergency caddie.
That tournament was MacIntyre’s first on the PGA Tour and he was overcome with emotion on the final green.
He also achieved a top ten finish at the PGA Championship and all along the way his fiery Scottish personality shone through – just ask the drone pilot he told to f*** off.
One would think those ingredients would make up the perfect recipe for a featured player on Full Swing, which is due to air its third season on Netflix on February 25.
But TV bosses had other ideas.
To promote the new season, the PGA Tour posted a list of the featured players on Twitter (X).
The post read: Season 3 of @Netflix’s ‘Full Swing’ will be released on February 25.
“These players will be featured this season: Ludvig Åberg, Keegan Bradley, Joel Dahmen, Bryson DeChambeau, Wyndham Clark, Tony Finau, Rickie Fowler, Adam Hadwin, Min Woo Lee, Minjee Lee, Shane Lowry, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Scottie Scheffler, Neal Shipley, Nick Taylor, Sahith Theegala, Justin Thomas, Camilo Villegas, Gary Woodland.”
For many Scottish golf fans, the absence of MacIntyre was bizarre.
“That’s a big let down, was looking forward to seeing that potential episode,” said one.
Another complained: “And we get some of the same boring guys who’ve been in the last two series.”
And a third said: “Yeah Bob would be brilliant box office.”
The comments continued to roll in as punters couldn’t believe the producers missed this easy tap-in for a hole in one.
This fan said: “They want a story? They had this one right there.”
Echoing those sentiments, this fan said: “The story of winning your first ever PGA tour event with your dad on the bag, who isn’t even a professional caddie should definitely be re-told in this series.”
But another fan seemed on board with the decision, somewhat.
He said: “They (Netflix) require drama. He ain’t drama. He’s Bob. But in the same breathe the story is immense. That will be told another time I think.”
Meanwhile, another punter observed that MacIntyre’s achievements seemed to go unnoticed by more than just Netflix.
“I was thinking the same at SPOTY,” they said.
“Surely winning with your dad on the bag in your first season on the PGA is what sports personality is about? Not even a mention.”
The man himself might not be too disheartened however.
He will tee it up in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am this week and has already started the season by pocketing almost £250,000 in his first PGA Tour event of the year.
