Netflix Nears Deal to Livestream Celebrity Golf Tournament, Marking Potential First Foray Into Sports Streaming

Netflix is in talks to livestream a celebrity golf tournament featuring professional golfers and Formula One drivers.
The event would be Netflix's first live sports streaming event if finalized and could demonstrate the company's ability to handle more complex live events.
The tournament would feature celebrities from Netflix's "Drive to Survive" and "Full Swing" documentaries and would take place in Las Vegas.
Though talks are preliminary, the event could be a test case for Netflix's sports strategy.
Netflix has explored live sports streaming for years but has said costs for most sports rights are not economically feasible.
