What happens when a washed-up golf pro, a reluctant prodigy, and a mismatched group of misfits hit the road in a beat-up RV? You get Stick, a sharp, funny, and heartfelt new series that’s more about second chances than swing mechanics. Created by A24, Stick stars Owen Wilson as Pryce Cahill, a former golf legend-turned-club salesman who sees a shot at redemption in Santi Wheeler (Peter Dager), a gifted young golfer with a complicated past and no interest in the game that once defined him. Joining them on this unconventional journey is Lilli Kay as Zero, an insightful and offbeat newcomer who brings unexpected warmth to the found-family dynamic.
The show also stars Mariana Treviño as Elena, Santi’s strong-willed mother navigating single parenthood, and Marc Maron as Mitts, Pryce’s no-nonsense former caddy and lifelong friend. Balancing humor and emotional honesty, Stick offers a fresh take on mentorship, personal growth, and how healing sometimes happens in the most unlikely company.
In this exclusive BLEX Media interview, Peter Dager and Lilli Kay dive into what drew them to the series, the realities of learning golf for their roles, and why the show’s emotional core—centered around connection, growth, and mutual respect—resonates with audiences beyond the fairway. From forming unexpected bonds to challenging generational norms, Stick is more than a sports show—it’s a story about listening, evolving, and finding your people in the most unconventional places.
