Will Ferrell is taking a short break from filming Golf, Netflix’s 10-episode comedy about a fictional golfing legend, after a minor off-set injury, reported by TMZ. While the mishap does not threaten his comedy crown, it prevents him from safely swinging clubs at the Bicycle Casino near Los Angeles this week. Production has shuffled schedules temporarily, but insiders whisper that the comic genius will return once cleared, ready to unleash chaos once more.

The series follows Lonnie 'The Hawk' Hawkins, Ferrell’s larger-than-life creation, whose wild antics fuel the show’s absurd humor. Despite the TMZ-reported injury pause, optimism is sky-high for both actor and series. Netflix and Ferrell’s camp remain tight-lipped on the timeline for resuming filming, leaving the audience to speculate while mentally rehearsing every possible ridiculous scenario. Hawkins’ presence is so vivid, even a brief intermission feels like the stadium has lost its mascot.
