If you crossed “Ted Lasso” with Woody Harrelson’s 1996 movie “Kingpin,” swapped in Owen Wilson and made the sport golf, you would probably get something like “Stick,” the 10-episode Apple TV+ comedy about a washed-up pro golfer trying to heal his psychic wounds by helping a teen prodigy live up to his potential.

Apple TV+ looks to create the next Ted Lasso with its sports comedy Stick, replacing soccer with golf and Jason Sudeikis with Owen Wilson. Even with these differences, there are times when it seems like Stick was engineered in a lab to be as close to Ted Lasso as possible.

Also starring Marc Maron and Judy Greer, the half-hour series centers on a former pro who finds new purpose when he takes on a talented protégé.
