CBS Sports and the Advocates Professional Golf Association (APGA) Tour are joining forces to bring golf fans an in-depth look at life throughout the season for players on the APGA Tour, which aims to bring diversity to the sport. The series will be narrated by GRAMMY Award-winning singer Darius Rucker and be broadcasted on June 11 at 1 p.m. ET on the CBS Television Network.

The special will also be available to stream on Paramount+.

The APGA Tour, originally founded in 2010, is a non-profit organization that focuses on preparing African American and other minority golfers to compete at golf's highest levels. "Up and Down: Life on the APGA Tour" will highlight the journeys of multiple APGA Tour players, including Aaron Beverly, Kamaiu Johnson, Tim O'Neal and Trey Valentine during the first half of the 2022 season.

“That’s why I still grind, because I know it’s still there for me.”
