NBC to Air Finale of Docu-Series Driven: Oklahoma State Cowboys, Executive Produced by Rickie Fowler

Encore of Driven Finale on Golf Channel on Sunday at 10 a.m. ET

(ORLANDO, Fla.) – Saturday’s finale of the critically-acclaimed documentary series Driven: Oklahoma State Cowboys (5 p.m. ET, NBC) will take viewers behind the scenes of the 2017-18 golf seasons for the Oklahoma State Cowboys and Oklahoma Sooners’ men’s golf programs, culminating with the storybook ending for the Cowboys at the 2018 NCAA Golf National Championships. An encore of Driven’s finale also will air Sunday on Golf Channel at 10 a.m. ET.

Executive produced by Rickie Fowler (Main Event Productions) and narrated by Emmy Award-winning actor Josh Duhamel, Saturday’s hour-long finale will delve into Oklahoma State’s historic season that featured 10 victories – highlighted by seven-in-a-row during the regular season – and never relinquishing their position as the top-ranked program in the country. The episode also follows Oklahoma’s regular season and their journey to try and repeat as NCAA National Champions.

The episode will then turn its attention to the NCAA Men’s Golf National Championships, which took place in May at Karsten Creek Golf Club in Stillwater, Okla., OSU’s home course. The championship features 72-holes of individual stroke play and two days of team match play, with Golf Channel cameras going behind the scenes throughout the event. Oklahoma State capped off its historic season by capturing their 11th men’s golf national championship over Alabama in the championship match in front of their hometown crowd.
