A washed-up golf pro, a teenage prodigy who trusts him, and a dream so big it sounds impossible — that is the heart of the show returning to Apple TV this week. Our stick season 2 guide covers Owen Wilson’s return as Pryce Cahill, the former professional golfer who found a second purpose mentoring young Santi Wheeler. The new season premieres on Apple TV on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, opening with two episodes before settling into a weekly rhythm.

What Is the New Season About?
In the first season, Pryce was a man running from his past. A former golf star whose career ended in a humiliating meltdown, he had lost his marriage and, heartbreakingly, his young son, and was scraping by giving lessons at a driving range. Then he met Santi, a gifted teenage golfer with a complicated family life of his own, and coaching the boy gave Pryce something he had not felt in years: a reason to care again.
The new season flips that story in a lovely way. While Santi keeps climbing towards professional golf, Pryce stops standing on the sidelines. Encouraged by his old caddie Mitts and his former rival Clark Ross, he decides to chase a dream of his own — becoming the oldest golfer ever to win a major championship, with the U.S. Open in his sights.
The Cast, Old and New
Owen Wilson is the reason the show feels so easy to watch. His Pryce is charming without trying too hard, funny without forcing it, and quietly sad underneath the jokes.
Peter Dager returns as Santi, the prodigy at the centre of the story. Season 1 was largely about whether Santi would take the golf scholarship on offer or turn professional early, with money and attention pulling him in different directions.
Around them, the returning cast gives the show its texture. Marc Maron’s Mitts is the loyal caddie and conscience of the group, Timothy Olyphant’s Clark Ross is the old rival whose encouragement pushes Pryce back towards competition, and Judy Greer returns as Amber-Linn, Pryce’s ex-wife. The big new addition is Rhea Seehorn as Amanda, a coach described as a “swing doctor” who joins Pryce’s corner.
The Release Schedule, Week by Week
Here is the practical part, because this season is not a binge drop. Two episodes arrive on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, and then one new episode follows every Wednesday until the finale on 30 December 2026. That is ten episodes in total, which makes it a lovely end-of-year watch — a weekly appointment rather than a weekend blur.
If you are new to the show, Season 1 is streaming on Apple TV too, so a quick catch-up before 4 November is easy.
Why This Return Matters
Sports dramas often lean on victory as the only happy ending, but this show has always been smarter than that. Pryce chasing the U.S. Open is exciting, but the real story is a man learning to believe in himself again at an age when most stories tell him it is too late. Santi’s journey is the mirror image: a young talent learning that success means nothing if you lose yourself on the way up.
That is why stick season 2 feels like more than a second helping. It takes the mentor-and-prodigy setup of the first season and asks what happens when the mentor finally bets on himself.
