Better duck and cover: After years on the sidelines, Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins is flying back into action.
The three-time major winner is embarking on an East Coast bus tour to celebrate his latest run at golf’s Grand Slam. It all tees off with a no-holds-barred press conference at the World Golf Hall of Fame in Pinehurst, North Carolina, on Thursday.
As portrayed by Will Ferrell in his first role in a television series, Lonnie was 2004’s No. 1 golfer before hitting the back nine of his career; now he’s making one last attempt at a crowning achievement. His friends and family — including his estranged wife, Stacy (Molly Shannon), and hotshot son Lance (Jimmy Tatro) — have their doubts. But skeptics can keep their heads stuck in the sand (trap), because Lonnie Hawkins never saw a challenge he couldn’t swing his way out of.
You can read on to learn more about the bus tour, and stay tuned as Lonnie’s journey to the finals is documented in the new series The Hawk, premiering on Netflix on July 16.

The Hawk bus tour will see Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins traveling along the East Coast, making stops in multiple markets. Tour stops will feature games, prizes, photo opportunities, and even appearances by the man himself. You can follow Lonnie’s journey on his newly launched official @LonnieTheHawk Instagram account, where he’s teaching the world how to play golf the Lonnie way.
In his first post, the golf pro had a few lessons of his own to learn, from none other than Kim Kardashian, who taught Lonnie how to mug for the camera and the importance of filters.
The Hawk bus tour will roll through the East Coast over the next few weeks, including the following appearances:
