Owen Wilson Is Aiming for the Ted Lasso Effect with Apple TV+ Comedy Stick
- The Apple TV+ show Stick premiered on June 4, 2025, starring Owen Wilson as former pro golfer Pryce Cahill and Peter Dager as teen golf prodigy Santiago Wheeler.
- The series follows Pryce, whose life unravels amid a divorce and job loss, as he meets Santiago, a gifted but reluctant golf talent, resembling the Ted Lasso dynamic.

- Stick explores the challenges of connection and growth in complex relationships, suggesting its themes of struggle and mentorship may resonate widely with audiences seeking heartfelt sports comedy.
