Behind every great series is a team that believes in its heart—and for Stick, executive producers Ben Silverman (The Office, Ugly Betty) and Guymon Casady (Game of Thrones, Steve Jobs) saw something rare from the very beginning. Created by Jason Keller (Ford v Ferrari), Stick follows former golf pro Pryce Cahill (Owen Wilson), a promising but wounded young golfer named Santi (Peter Dager), and a ragtag crew of characters trying to find themselves—and each other—on a cross-country RV journey. But what hooked Silverman and Casady wasn’t just the world of golf—it was the deeply personal story underneath it.
In this exclusive interview, the duo explains why Stick resonated with their own creative journeys in Hollywood, how the world of golf mirrors real-life struggles with failure, redemption, and reinvention, and why the show’s underdog story feels so timely. From second chances to overlooked talent, they break down how Stick uses humor, vulnerability, and the beauty of unlikely connection to deliver something that speaks to both die-hard golf fans and total novices alike.
As they share, Stick isn’t just about the next shot—it’s about getting up after the last one didn’t land, and choosing to keep swinging.
