Overview
Stick is a sharp, character-driven sports comedy series that finds humor, heart, and hope in the most unexpected fairways. Streaming now on Apple TV+, the series is led by Owen Wilson in a role tailor-made for his signature blend of charm and chaos. He plays Pryce Cahill, a former golf prodigy whose fall from grace is as dramatic as his comeback is unpredictable.
Plot Summary
Once hailed as the next big thing in golf, Pryce Cahill’s career crashed spectacularly, thanks to poor choices, personal demons, and an unfiltered mouth. Years later, he’s aimless and down on luck until an unlikely opportunity tees off: mentoring a hot-headed teen, Santi Wheeler (played by Peter Dager), who has raw talent but no discipline.
Their worlds couldn’t be more different—Pryce is haunted by his past, and Santi has no interest in a future shaped by other people’s dreams. But as they’re pushed together by desperation, fate, and some gently forced guidance from Santi’s determined mother Elena (Mariana Treviño), the two embark on a journey filled with missteps, reluctant trust, and second chances.
From dysfunctional coaching sessions and absurd amateur tournaments to emotional family baggage and run-ins with an ever-observant ex-wife, Stick hits every comedic note while digging into real emotional territory.

Why You Should Watch
Stick combines the underdog charm of classic sports stories with sharp writing, eccentric characters, and heartfelt drama. It’s not just a golf show — it’s a comedy about broken people trying to rebuild themselves through unexpected relationships and second chances.

Whether you’re a golf fan or not, Stick is worth watching for its quirky tone, smart writing, and emotional core.
