Per the official logline the series follows Pryce Cahill (Wilson), “an over-the-hill, ex-pro golfer whose career was derailed prematurely 20 years ago. After he gets fired from his job at an Indiana sporting goods store and his wife walks out on him, Pryce hedges his bets entirely on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom (Drager).
Olyphant will play Clark, described as “a successful, former golf pro who once toured with Pryce.”
Olyphant recently returned to the role of Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens in the FX limited series “Justified: City Primeval.” He previously starred in “Justified” for six seasons, for which he received an Emmy nomination in 2011. Olyphant also received Emmy nominations for his guest star role in “The Mandalorian” and for the “Deadwood” followup movie, the latter of which saw him reprise the role of Seth Bullock from the “Deadwood” HBO series. His other TV credits include “Santa Clarita Diet,” “Full Circle” and “Daisy Jones & The Six,” while his film credits include “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and “Amsterdam.” He is also set to appear in Noah Hawley’s “Alien” series at FX.
He is repped by UTA.
