A trailer for the latest season has been released by the streaming platform.

It includes footage from around the time that it was announced McIlroy would be splitting from wife Erica Stoll.

The Northern Irishman, 35, filed for divorce last May after seven years of marriage.

Incredibly the couple performed a U-turn just a month later, with the divorce voluntarily dismissed.

At the time McIlroy, who has a four-year-old daughter named Poppy with wife Erica, told The Guardian: “There have been rumours about my personal life recently, which is unfortunate. Responding to each rumour is a fool’s game.

“Over the past weeks, Erica and I have realised that our best future was as a family together.

“Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning.”

In the trailer for the latest season of Full Swing, news of McIlroy’s divorce can be seen being received by those present in the Valhalla Golf Club’s media centre and clubhouse ahead of the PGA Championship.

In a piece to camera, McIlroy then admits: “I’ve struggled with trying to be the best golfer, the best husband, the best dad.”

Days after McIlroy’s divorce U-turn was confirmed, he competed at the U.S. Open.

He looked set to win the tournament, thus ending his 10-year Major drought.

But an agonising late collapse saw Bryson DeChambeau pip him.

The trailer features DeChambeau’s celebrations, suggesting that McIlroy’s collapse will be included.

The third season of Full Swing is set to debut on February 25.

A cheeky banner held up by away fans pointed to Everton‘s lack of silverware in recent years.

It read: “At least an empty cabinet is easier to move.”

Fans also held up balloons with the numbers 30 and 1995, depicting how many years it’s been since Everton’s last trophy.

The Toffees’ most recent silverware was the 1995 FA Cup, with Paul Rideout scoring the winner in the final against Manchester United.

Everton fans held up banners of their own, with one reading: “We built this city – since 1878.”

The Toffees have been based at Goodison Park since 1892, having previously played at Anfield.

They will move to their new £760million Bramley Moore Dock home at the start of next season.

The stadium is set to hold 52,888 fans.

The event is set to feature appearances from club legends, as well as live music.

Meanwhile, the site of Goodison Park is set to be turned into 10 new development blocks featuring 173 residential units and affordable housing.

A new health centre is also set to be built, in addition to residential care facilities and an education facility.

The Goodison Legacy Project commits to building a park, providing new green spaces for local residents.

While new office spaces could provide job opportunities for locals.

Everton got off to the perfect start in tonight’s Merseyside derby, with Beto firing them into an 11th minute lead.

They weren’t ahead for long, however, with Alexis Mac Allister levelling five minutes later.
