While the NFL has “Hard Knocks” to highlight the behind-the-scenes drama of select teams, the LPGA will pull back the curtain with its own documentary miniseries that will make its debut Monday.

“LPGA All Access: CME Group Tour Championship” will have three 15-minute episodes drop at 8 p.m. ET on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, on YouTube and LPGA.com. The five-part series will document the final tournament of 2021 and the Rolex Player of the Year battle between Nelly Korda and Jin-Young Ko of South Korea.

“This documentary helps show the accessibility and personality of our players, along with the drama and intrigue of the CME Group Tour Championship,” LPGA senior vice president Brian Carroll said. “Hopefully this is just the beginning of our storytelling in this format.”

Spoiler alert: Ko won the event for a second consecutive season while also winning Player of the Year honors. Korda finished the year ranked No. 1 in the world, but Ko made her return into the top spot this week.
