McIlroy had featured in the first series, with the final episode showing the heartbreak of The 150th Open Championship and the amazing success of his third FedEx Cup championship.
According to the series producer, Chad Mumm, cameras were on site at the PGA Championship for Season 2, with Mumm tweeting a few hints prior to the action. One of these included Tom Kim's mishap, which saw him covered in mud following a visit to a creek, with Kim laughing off the incident. Following the moment, Mumm tweeted: "You better believe this is gonna be in Full Swing."
On Monday, Mumm tweeted that he was heading to Oak Hill, stating: "Heading to Rochester, PGA Championship here we come. S2 let’s go." Now, following the tweets, it appears we are in for an absolute treat, with the likes of Kim, McIlroy and Lowry reportedly featuring in the new series.
