Owen Wilson Tees Up a Comeback as a Fallen Golf Star in Apple TV+’s ‘Stick’
Apple TV+ is swinging into summer with Stick, a new 10-episode sports dramedy that sees Owen Wilson at his most vulnerable—and perhaps most compelling yet. Premiering June 4, 2025, with three back-to-back episodes, Stick follows Wilson as Pryce Cahill, a washed-up former golf pro whose shot at redemption comes in the form of a troubled teen prodigy.
The trailer, now live, teases a heartfelt and humorous journey set against the backdrop of the elite golf world. But this isn’t your typical underdog sports story—it’s about life, second chances, and the unexpected families we find along the way.
Once a promising golf legend, Owen Wilson’s career was tragically cut short 20 years ago. Now divorced and recently fired from his job at a local sporting goods store, he’s at rock bottom in Indiana. But hope resurfaces in the form of Santi, a hot-tempered, 17-year-old golf phenom played by Peter Dager. Betting everything—emotionally and financially—on mentoring Santi, Pryce sees one final shot at relevance and redemption.

Created by Jason Keller, Apple TV+’s “Stick” is a sharp, emotionally resonant series that combines the elegance and agony of golf with personal stories of failure and resilience. It’s described by Apple as “a heartfelt, feel-good sports comedy about a found family and their relationships set within the world of golf as it has never been shown before.”
The all-star cast of the golf series includes Marc Maron, Mariana Treviño, Lilli Kay, Judy Greer, and Timothy Olyphant, with real-life golf icons like Collin Morikawa, Max Homa, Wyndham Clark, and Keegan Bradley making cameos. Renowned golf broadcasters Jim Nantz and Trevor Immelman also appear, as do creators from the popular Good Good Golf YouTube channel.

Behind the scenes, the series boasts heavyweight executive producers including Ben Silverman (Propagate Content), Guymon Casady (Entertainment 360), and Howard T. Owens. Directing duties are shared by Valerie Faris, Jonathan Dayton, Jaffar Mahmood, David Dobkin, M.J. Delaney, and John Hamburg.
Apple TV+ Golf series Stick is poised to resonate with viewers beyond the fairway. While it celebrates the thrill of the game, it’s the emotional depth—the broken dreams, the risky mentorship, and the hard-won comebacks—that promise to make this series a standout in Apple’s summer lineup.
So, whether you’re a lifelong golf fanatic or just a fan of great storytelling, Owen Wilson’s Pryce Cahill is about to remind you that even when life slices your shot, it’s never too late to find your swing.
