Who plays Lonnie and what is The Hawk about?
According to Netflix Tudum, Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins is billed as the greatest golfer in the world — and still needs help from family and friends to finish the Grand Slam he has always dreamed of.
The Hollywood Reporter’s review says Ferrell’s Lonnie was once dominant, one putt from winning the U.S. Open and completing a career Grand Slam, before a haze-shrouded meltdown left him stuck on the Korn-Ferry Tour. The character reportedly has not made a cut in seven years while still chasing a PGA Tour return.
Forbes frames the series as a high-stakes golf comedy that balances outrageous laughs with a fractured father-son story. Creators Harper Steele, Chris Henchy, and Ferrell deliver the show through PGA Tour Studios, per THR.

Who is in Lonnie’s family, friend circle, and foe list?
Netflix’s cast guide centers Lonnie’s long-suffering family and friends new and old. Molly Shannon reunites with Ferrell as Stacy, Lonnie’s estranged wife whose relationship with him remains fraught. Shannon told Netflix the reunion felt like working with a close friend.
Jimmy Tatro plays Lance, Lonnie’s hotshot pro-golfer son and one of the players standing between his father and a Grand Slam. THR adds that Stacy follows Lance on the real tour while promoting a canned cocktail called Teed Off, with David Hornsby as Radford and Katelyn Tarver as Lance’s aspiring-influencer fiancée.
Fortune Feimster plays Sam, Lonnie’s new caddie who knows little about golf after longtime caddy Old Henry (Keith David) exits early in the series, according to THR. Luke Wilson portrays Golden Fisk, Lonnie’s longtime nemesis who bested him back in 2004 and faces him again. Chris Parnell also appears in the supporting ensemble.
Where does the hawk Netflix finale unfold?
Forbes reports that The Hawk filmed at several iconic Southern California courses, including Friendly Hills, Moorpark, Rolling Hills, Sand Canyon, Spanish Hills, Woodland Hills, and the Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach.
As Lonnie battles to reclaim the championship that eluded him, his journey climaxes at Pelican Hill, where the series’ final two episodes were shot. The resort also hosted Netflix’s press junket ahead of the July 16 premiere, with Ferrell, Shannon, Tatro, Wilson, and Feimster reflecting on the production.
Early critical reaction has been cooler: THR called the show a “whiff of a golf comedy” that wastes its stellar cast, even while noting a few laughs and Ferrell’s physical comedy. Viewers can stream all 10 episodes now and decide for themselves whether Lonnie’s last swing connects.
