The confirmed pairings

There’s always a bit of fun involved when two sports cross over, and this is sure to be no different. From the F1 side Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz, Alex Albon and Pierre Gasly will all be turning out to showcase their best golfing skills.

Norris will be partnering Rickie Fowler, while Sainz will be joining forces with two-time major champion Justin Thomas. Gasly will be paired up with another double major winner in Collin Morikawa while Albon will play alongside Max Homa.

The format

Each of the four teams in the Netflix Cup will play eight holes of match play – with some surprise challenges along the way. Following the conclusion of the match play, the top team from each foursome will compete in a playoff hole to crown a winner.

Each match will be a scramble, with each player teeing off on each hole. Once they have selected one of their drivers, both players will then hit from that spot and repeat until they finish out each hole. The team with the lowest score will win the hole.

Norris and Fowler will take on Sainz and Thomas in Match 1, while Albon and Homa face off against Gasly and Morikawa in Match 2.
