The Smylie Show

After three days at Aronimink produced one of the most bunched leaderboards in major history, Aaron Rai emerged victorious on Sunday. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down how Rai separated himself with clutch shots down the stretch in pressure situations.

Smylie and Charlie also dive into why Aronimink proved to be such a difficult test, how course strategy shaped the leaderboard, and what to make of strong weeks from Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Ludvig Åberg, Cam Smith, Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele. Plus, Charlie shares what he saw in person during Rory’s fan interaction, and the guys debate the identity of the PGA Championship going forward.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme are on site in Philadelphia for the 2026 PGA Championship at Aronimink, breaking down the course, the conditions, and the players best suited to contend for the Wanamaker Trophy.

But first! A quick chat about their studio for the day at Cobbs Creek. Check out the exciting project in the works that could turn into a PGA TOUR venue while supporting educational opportunities for children in Philadelphia at cobbscreek.org.

The guys discuss why Aronimink could favor long hitters, how soft conditions and patchy rough may impact scoring, the ongoing debate around tree removal in modern course restorations, and which stars they like most this week — including Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Cam Young, Rickie Fowler, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele and more.

Gil Hanse joins Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme for a deep dive on Aronimink Golf Club ahead of the 2026 PGA Championship, which begins May 14 at Donald Ross’s restored Philadelphia-area classic. Hanse explains what makes Aronimink so unique among Ross designs, from its clusters of small bunkers to its bold green complexes, and how his restoration work with Jim Wagner brought the course closer to its original 1920s character.

The crew also discusses tree removal, Philadelphia golf architecture, Cobbs Creek, the 2018 BMW Championship won by Keegan Bradley, and why firm greens, thick rough, and wind could make Aronimink a serious test for the best players in the world. The 2026 PGA Championship is scheduled for May 14–17 at Aronimink.

The guys also take a deep dive into the current PGA TOUR schedule, unpacking the growing divide between signature events and the rest of the field, how it’s impacting player participation, and whether the system is truly sustainable.

Sepp Straka joins Smylie Kaufman on The Smylie Show for a wide-ranging conversation on fatherhood, growing up between Austria and Georgia, competing alongside his twin brother Sam, and the path that took him from an under-the-radar junior to one of the best players in the world. Sepp talks about his time at Georgia, why that qualifying culture helped shape him, how he ended up with Srixon after college, and why his equipment setup immediately gave him confidence heading into Q-School.

Later, Sepp gets into the real turning points in his PGA TOUR career: the early inconsistency, working with John Tillery, using TrackMan with more purpose, improving his wedge play and short game, and building a more complete process around practice. Then Charlie joins for Short-Sided to close things out with some lighter stories on food, Georgia guys, and dad life at home.

Gary Woodland completes one of the most emotional wins of the season at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, and Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down both the meaning of the moment and the golf that got it done. They dive into the harrowing neurological trauma Woodland's been dealing with privately and publicly on his seven-year journey back to the winner's circle, the ball-speed and putting numbers that stood out, and what this win means for Gary - and a number of other players inside and outside the OWGR Top 50 - as we look ahead to the Masters.

Smylie and Charlie then offer a reflection on arguably the biggest news in golf this week - Tiger Woods automobile accident which involved a set of charges from the Martin County Sheriff's Department, what it means in a golf context, and the societal reaction at large to one of the game's biggest figures.

A week after coming up one shot short at the PLAYERS, Matt Fitzpatrick got right back to work and won the Valspar Championship. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down the swing work he's done with Mark Blackburn, what stood out most about his mentality after the near miss at Sawgrass, and whether his current form should have people paying closer attention heading into Augusta. They also dive into the pace-of-play controversy on Sunday, with Smylie offering perspective from inside the ropes on what actually frustrates players and how those situations can throw contenders out of rhythm.

The episode also looks at the bigger trends coming out of the Florida Swing, including why so many 54-hole leaders have struggled to close this season, what happened to Sungjae Im on Sunday, and why Copperhead continues to be one of the best non-signature tests on the PGA TOUR. Smylie and Charlie also assess where Brooks Koepka and Jordan Spieth stand as the Masters approaches, including why Brooks’ recent iron play is so notable and why Spieth feels closer than his results might suggest.

The show wraps with a look at the inaugural success that LIV's South Africa event was, and what it means for golf on a global stage. Plus, are Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm in better form that anyone else as we look ahead to Augusta?

The 2026 PLAYERS Championship delivered one of the most dramatic finishes of the season, with Cam Young emerging victorious from a group including Matt Fitzpatrick, Ludvig Åberg, Xander Schauffele, and Robert MacIntyre.

Smylie Kaufman walked inside the ropes with the final group, and breaks down exactly how Young pulled it off, from a clutch birdie on 17 to one of the longest drives ever recorded on the 18th hole at Sawgrass.

Smylie and Charlie Hulme dive into the duel between Cam Young and Matt Fitzpatrick, the key swing and strategy adjustments that changed the tournament, and the implications as we head towards the first major of the year at Augusta.

They also examine a disappointing Sunday for Ludvig Åberg, discuss Rory McIlroy’s Masters preparation, highlight the recent resurgence in form for Brooks Koepka, and ask the big question: is Scottie Scheffler actually in a slump?

Plus: Smylie ranks his own shots from his debut on Golf Channel’s Live From coverage at The PLAYERS.

They discuss Rory McIlroy’s back concerns, Scottie Scheffler’s surprising iron-play dip, and the type of player who actually wins at Sawgrass, before diving into their One-and-Done picks and sleeper contenders for the week.

With potential mud balls, gusty winds, and the terrifying closing stretch of 16-17-18, this year’s PLAYERS could deliver another unpredictable leaderboard.

Akshay Bhatia delivered one of the most electric Sundays of the PGA Tour season at Bay Hill, draining over 144 feet of putts and storming back to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational in a playoff. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down how Bhatia’s short game carried him to victory on brutally firm, “crispy” greens that had the entire field on edge all week.

The guys also dive into Daniel Berger’s incredible comeback, analyzing the encouraging signs after nearly two years battling injuries and setbacks. Plus, they discuss strong performances from Ludvig Åberg, Cam Young, and Collin Morikawa, what it means heading into THE PLAYERS Championship, and why Bay Hill’s setup produced one of the most entertaining tournaments of the season.

Smylie and Charlie recap a wild Sunday at PGA National where the Bear Trap once again decided the Cognizant Classic. After Shane Lowry appeared in total control — birdieing 9, eagling 10, and building a three-shot lead — everything unraveled at the 16th tee. The guys break down the wind setup, hole locations, and the pivotal swings that flipped the tournament in minutes. They dive into Nico’s composure, his no-bogey weekend, and what this win says about his resilience after a rocky rookie season. Plus: Shane Lowry’s growing 54-hole storyline, Brooks Koepka’s encouraging signs with the putter, Max Homa’s progress, the state of PGA National on the schedule, Bay Hill projections, and behind-the-scenes stories from a full week in South Florida.

Additionally, Gil Hanse joins the show! Seminole Golf Club is often regarded as one of Donald Ross’s greatest works, but due to environmental factors and architectural modifications, the course was in need of some restorative work to ensure its future.

Gil joins to discuss his two-year process in Juno Beach, rediscovering Ross’s original green shapes, and why he's thoroughly enjoyed working alongside Seminole Superintendent Nelson Caron.

Ludvig Åberg joins Smylie Kaufman to dive deep on a number of topics - witnessing Rory McIlroy's shot of the 2025 Masters from a fairway over, the strategy he employs at some of Augusta National's most pivotal holes, and nearly shooting a 59 at Bethpage Black!

One of the most talented young players in the game of golf, Ludvig begins by retracing an unusual start to the 2025 season - tons of promise derailed by sickness at Torrey Pines and Pebble Beach, before receiving a redemption shot a month later at the Genesis Invitational.

Ludvig also details some of the swing struggles he experienced in 2025, and what he's been working on to get to a more consistent place with the full swing, the short game, and even his putting setup.

Finally, Charlie Hulme joins for a brand-new show segment - "The E9" - to rapid-fire through a series of questions with Ludvig, ranging from golf to anything but.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme live stream the morning after a down-to-the-wire finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational as the Florida Swing rolls on! Smylie was on the ground for NBC and Golf Channel witnessing some tough course conditions that developed throughout the week at Bay Hill, and provides insight on equipment and ball changes that players made to accommodate for the firm and fast greens. Smylie and Charlie take a brief look at the developing Ryder Cup picture - both the players who seem like locks at this stage, and who could be playing their way into the picture. The show closes with a look ahead to the PLAYERS Championship - what we should expect for course conditions, and which names near the top of the board and a bit further down we think could win at TPC Sawgrass.

Two-time PGA Tour champion Matt Every joins Smylie Kaufman on The Smylie Show to chronicle his journey in golf, including his back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. They dive into Matt's amateur days, his transition to professional golf (and golf media), and what it was like to compete at Bay Hill under the watchful eye of Arnold Palmer. Matt shares candid stories about his playing career, the highs and lows, and the unforgettable moments of shaking Arnold's hand on the 18th green.

The conversation also shifts to Matt's current role in the media, and how his on-course experiences shape his perspective. From hilarious stories of club tosses to reflections on his time at the University of Florida, this episode is nothing if not a great hang with Matt and Smylie.

Join us on another episode of The Smylie Show, as Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme take a different approach to recapping this week’s PGA TOUR stop at one of the most iconic venues in golf!

Fresh off a whirlwind West Coast trip, Charlie discusses his love for Cypress Point and a number of Tour pros who checked it out before the AT&T Pro-Am began. The tournament recap begins with comments from Rory McIlroy about how venues matter in golf, leading into Smylie ranking every golf course used on a recurring basis by the PGA TOUR from top to bottom.

We conclude by marveling at the highlights of Rory’s performance at Pebble Beach, grading Scottie Scheffler’s return from a hand injury, highlighting Tom Kim as part of an ongoing discussion about pace of play on Tour, and very briefly reacting to Luka Doncic’s shocking trade to the Lakers.

TGL digital host (and host of GOLF's "The Scoop") Claire Rogers joins Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme to break down the overtime win notched by Tiger Woods' Jupiter Links over Rory McIlroy's Boston Common - by far the most entertaining match in the four-week history of the TGL!

Smylie and Charlie begin the episode discussing how the TGL format brings out all of the competitive intensity we're used to seeing from Tiger Woods, without the physical strain that comes with four-day Tour events and major championships.

Claire then joins the show to discuss her first interview with Tiger, Kevin Kisner winning the first-ever TGL overtime with a cross-handed pitch, and the energy - and clutch putting - that Tom Kim brought to Jupiter Links ... along with some other tangents, including her TGL "all-fun" team, "arrival outfits" spotted on several players, and whether the "Scoop bump" outweights the ""Smylie Show bump."

Welcome back ... to the Smylie Show! Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme cover a wide range of topics this week - from Sepp Straka's win at the American Express, to comments Rory McIlroy made about a protege of his potentially departing for LIV Golf, to the incredibly short-lived TikTok ban.

Sepp's win marked just one of a number of interesting storylines coming out of La Quinta, including the continued resurgence of Justin Thomas' game, and some notable pace of play issues on Sunday with a series of changes on the PGA TOUR looming in 2026. On the DP World Tour, a week that began with Rory outlining the conversations he had with Tom McKibbin ahead of a reported move to LIV ended with a LIV player, Tyrrell Hatton, hoisting a trophy at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.

All that + some live (at the time) NFL Playoff commentary, and yet another Sicko Gear Tinkerers report.

Highlights:

- Sepp Straka’s win at the American Express

- Justin Thomas’ performance

- Blades Brown swing analysis

- One-and-Done picks

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme are back on a mid-December Smylie Show with a triple feature: the Tiger Woods vs Scottie Scheffler debate, an interview with the founder and CEO of Swag Golf, Nick Venson ... and, of course, more commentary on UNC's shock hiring of Bill Belichick as their next head football coach.

We begin the show with Charlie sporting a Drake Maye jersey and firing off some Tar Heel homer takes, only to have his enthusiasm dampened by noted LSU Tiger Smylie. When the golf talk finally begins, it is Scottie Scheffler's ninth win of 2024 at the Hero World Challenge that revived some hot-take comparisons online to Tiger Woods' best seasons. In particular, SK and CH take a look at Tiger in 2000 and Vijay Singh in 2004 in comparison to Scottie in 2024.

The second half of the show features Smylie's conversation with Nick Venson, the founder and CEO of Swag Golf. Nick charts his fascinating journey from a kid who collected Scotty Cameron putters, to producing a special line of headcovers for the USA Ryder Cup team, to now making his own Swag putters via an innovative process.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme cover a busy November week of golf news, ranging from the PGA TOUR season finale to a big win for "Smylie" on the DP World Tour. SK and CH discuss the swing changes that led Maverick McNealy out of a period of injury and into his first TOUR win, another incredible performance for Luke Clanton as an amateur, and the finalized FedEx Cup Top 125 list that saw fan favorites on either side of that line. Smylie and Charlie also cover some recent off-the-course news, including the PGA TOUR Policy Board's approval of sweeping changes to card and field sizes in 2026, and DP World Tour membership for LIV players that could have ramifications for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage.

Max Greyserman joins Smylie Kaufman to discuss his journey to the PGA Tour and the challenges he faced along the way, from injuries and an extended stay on the Korn Ferry Tour to his current position - the 37th-ranked player in the world, and qualified for 2025 PGA TOUR signature events. We look at Max's swing via an innovative AI tool, hear some great stories about Max's friendship with Nico Echavarria, reflect on a scorching finish to 2024 that's seen Max finish top-five in four of his last six starts, and take a look at Max's doppelganger on Tour to see if there's a resemblance.

Smylie Kaufman is joined by two-time major champion Xander Schauffele on our latest longform conversation with a Tour pro on "The Smylie Show." We go all the way back to Xander's college days, the pressures of Q School and the Korn Ferry Tour that followed, and the manner in which he bursted onto the PGA TOUR scene. Xander details several key moments during that rookie year that were pivotal in his development, his near misses at majors in the ensuing years, and what it felt like to finally win one - and then another one - in 2024. We finally let Xander (and his two dogs) go to complete their move to a new home, but not without some cigar talk and a hilarious fishing story from his rookie year.

The 2024 Presidents Cup is officially in the books, and Team USA comes away victorious for the 13th time in 15 tries, notching the largest margin of victory ever for an away team in the competition. In addition to the Sunday Singles action, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme take a big picture look at the week in Montreal, grading all twelve players on each team and their captains, and discussing some of the extracurriculars that Tom Kim brought up in his Saturday press conference. SK and CH close the episode with a look ahead to the 2025 Ryder Cup, making some predictions as to which Americans on this Presidents Cup team will make it to Bethpage, and which ones will miss out.

After back-to-back stunning 5-0 sweeps on Thursday and Friday, the fireworks were more subdued on Saturday at the 2024 Presidents Cup, as Team USA won both sessions by a score of 3-1 to carry a four-point lead over the International side into Sunday singles matches. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down all of Saturday's action, discuss some interesting post-round quotes from Tom Kim, and react to the release of the singles matchups that will decide who takes the Cup home from Royal Montreal.

We are two days into the 2024 Presidents Cup, and history has been made. A day removed from a 5-0 USA sweep of the fourball session, the International side responded with their own stunning 5-0 foursomes sweep, leveling the score as we set up for a thrilling weekend at Royal Montreal.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme discuss Friday's energetic atmosphere, the lopsided nature of numerous International wins - including the 7&6 scoreline of the Matsuyama/Im vs Schauffele/Cantlay match that Smylie was covering, and react to the release of pairings for the first session on Saturday morning.

The first day of the 2024 Presidents Cup is in the books, and the visitors are off to a hot start with a resounding 5-0 sweep of Thursday's fourball session. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down all the action from Royal Montreal, with Smylie fresh off the golf course covering the Morikawa/Theegala vs Lee/Scott match for Golf Channel. Smylie gives his thoughts on that match, plus the most exciting moment of the day as Scottie Scheffler and Tom Kim squared off. The show closes with a look at all the pairings for Friday's foursomes session.

Smylie and Charlie discuss Scottie's incredible season, what type of adjustments they'd like to see for the FedEx Cup format, and make predictions for the Presidents Cup captain's picks slated for announcement on Tuesday 9/3.

SK and CH also discuss the kickoff of college football season, which surprisingly sees Smylie's LSU Tigers 0-1 and Charlie's UNC Tar Heels 1-0. The show is running two contests this year - a college football pick 'em, and an NFL survivor pool - with the winner earning a tee time with Smylie!

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme cap off the Smylie Show FedEx Cup road trip with one final show from East Lake Golf Club previewing the final event of the PGA TOUR season, the Tour Championship.

SK and CH are joined by Keegan Bradley fresh off a BMW Championship win that vaulted him from 50th to 4th in the FedEx Cup standings, in addition to strong consideration for a spot on the Presidents Cup team for which he's already committed as an assistant captain. Keegan discusses that win, his upcoming Ryder Cup captaincy, and Tour life on the road with two kids back home.

Smylie and Charlie are then joined by course architect Andrew Green, who oversaw the restoration of ELGC ahead of the Tour Championship. Andrew explains his thought process behind the restoration, how it's been received thus far, and goes in-depth on how the new grasses will play.

The show concludes with the final one-and-done picks of the season, with a FedEx Cup twist.

The Smylie Show FedEx Cup road trip reaches its final week at East Lake Golf Club for the Tour Championship!

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme begin by recapping the incredibly unique challenge that Castle Pines posed for the BMW Championship, and the player-caddie partnership between Keegan Bradley and Scott Vail that led to victory.

SK and CH are next joined by Sam Burns and Xander Schauffele for a series of quick "Power Five" chats before teeing off for a practice round. Sam details sharing a house with Scottie Scheffler and trying to figure out whose baby is crying, while Xander answers the hypothetical everyone's been asked the past few weeks - would he rather have Scottie's season, or his?

Smylie and Charlie conclude the show with a dive into Presidents Cup rosters now that the top six players on both the American and International teams have qualified.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme are once again live from Castle Pines Golf Club - this time from the 18th green - on the eve of the BMW Championship, and are joined by both Sepp Straka and Craig Stadler to break down all the FedEx Cup action ahead.

We begin with a full breakdown of a course we've not seen on the PGA TOUR since 2006, and all of the elevation and weather factors that will come into play in terms of judging yardages this week in Colorado. SK and CH are then joined for a wide-ranging interview with Sepp Straka, covering everything from whether a hole-in-one on a par three course counts, to Sepp's affinity for Taylor Swift.

1982 Masters champion (and Denver resident) Craig Stadler then joins to discuss his history playing at Castle Pines 17 times while on Tour. And finally, we close out the show with our one-and-done picks for the BMW Championship.

The Smylie Show is once again on the road - and live from the driving range at Castle Pines Golf Club as we get ready for the penultimate FedEx Cup playoff event, the BMW Championship!

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down a highly entertaining Sunday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, with intrigue at the top *and* bottom of the leaderboard - the final pairing of Hideki Matsuyama and Nick Dunlap produced both the eventual winner, and an unlikely entrant into the top 50 of the FedEx Cup standings.

Smylie and Charlie are then joined by Eric Cole, who vaulted his way into the top 50 with a final round 63 at the FedEx St. Jude. Eric recounts a roller-coaster Sunday round that qualified him for PGA TOUR signature events for a second straight year.

Coming off what he'd describe as one of his worst seasons on Tour, Billy discusses his climb back to 27th in the FedEx Cup - which will qualify him for 2025 signature events - with just one event remaining before the playoffs begin. One key piece of that journey came at Royal Troon, where he grinded his way through brutal and rapidly-changing weather conditions to a T2 finish - including one of the more impressive rounds Smylie has witnessed while on the call for NBC.

Billy and Smylie also go in depth on the changing structure of the PGA Tour, how Billy became a West Ham United fan, and whether the Hammers or his Florida Gators will be the next to hoist a trophy.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme look back at a highly entertaining week at Royal Troon which saw wild weather, a challenging course setup, and Xander Schauffele hoisting the Claret Jug as the winner of the 152nd Open Championship. Smylie and Charlie marvel at the new level Xander has reached this season, shedding the "best player to have never won a major tag" by winning two in his last three tries. SK and CH also reflect on the weeks of Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Jon Rahm, and how each will evaluate their respective major performances in 2024. The show wraps with a brief discussion of the conditions at Troon before Smylie heads off to begin a golf trip in Ireland!

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap day three at the 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon, where Smylie is on-site broadcasting the major for NBC Sports. Saturday's conditions for the final groups, according to SK, were some of the most difficult he has seen - *ever* - for a major championship. Smylie was assigned to Justin Rose and Billy Horschel's group today, and details a round that saw the latter take the outright lead heading into Sunday. Smylie and Charlie play a guessing game using Data Golf's predictive odds ranking the five players with the best chance to hoist the Claret Jug tomorrow.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap day two at the 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon, where Smylie is on-site broadcasting the major for NBC Sports. Friday's cut resulted in some shocking names missing the weekend - Rory McIlroy, Ludvig Aberg, Wyndham Clark, Viktor Hovland, and Bryson DeChambeau, among others - and SK explains why that was the case given the conditions at Troon. Smylie was the walker assigned to Shane Lowry's group and goes through his bizarre playing of the 11th hole resulting in double bogey, in addition to the two birdies he made coming down the stretch to take the lead. We could not make it through the episode without discussing Smylie's attire in the booth - he donned a traditional Scottish kilt to close Friday's coverage window, and explains how that went down.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down all the action from day one of the 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon, where Smylie is on-site broadcasting the major for NBC Sports. On a day with wind, rain and cold dominating the early wave, it was Daniel Brown who surged to the first-round lead near the conclusion of the late wave, while Smylie called the action from the booth on Peacock. SK and CH reflect on the day that Shane Lowry had sitting in solo second, a guy that Smylie loved as part of his weekly picks. Rory McIlroy's round got away from him quickly on Thursday - Smylie offers insights as the walker who was assigned to follow Rory's group. Finally, Smylie and Charlie discuss another hot start for Justin Thomas on the strength of an excellent putting performance, and whether he can sustain that momentum for the next three days.

Join Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme as they dive into another episode of "The Smylie Show," recapping Robert MacIntyre's closing surge to win the Scottish Open + Smylie's week at Lake Tahoe broadcasting the American Century Championship, where he caught passes from Josh Allen, put up some shots with the Curry family, and caught up with the always entertaining Charles Barkley.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap a thrilling finish to the 124th U.S. Open live on both YouTube and X, with Bryson DeChambeau winning by a shot thanks to an incredible up-and-down on the 72nd hole, while Rory McIlroy came up agonizingly short. Smylie and Charlie take comments from the chat ranging from Bryson's legacy now that he has two major wins, Rory's abrupt exit after coming up short, and the type of game it takes to win a major, and how that differs depending on the venue and setup. Finally, we celebrate the show's *SEVENTH* one-and-done winner pick of the year, and Charlie's fourth of the season after taking Bryson to win.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap the third day of play from the 124th U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2, as Bryson DeChambeau takes it deep with six birdies to hold a three-shot lead heading into the final day of play. Smylie and Charlie discuss how much they've enjoyed both Pinehurst as a venue and the way the USGA set it up, including a brutal 13th hole pin placement that claimed two high-profile victims on Saturday.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap the second day of play from the 124th U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2, including a trio of stars who narrowly made the weekend after the cut line moved to +5 near the end of Friday's play. Smylie and Charlie begin by discussing Ludvig Aberg's incredible consistency, and the mark he could achieve at a U.S. Open for the first time since 1913. SK and CH close by examining some remarks Tiger Woods made after missing the cut that are perhaps the first time he's verbalized a sentiment of this nature. Bring your swimsuits tomorrow - we're getting in the pool!

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap the first day of play from the 124th U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2, from the degree of difficulty that the course posed, to the names who rose to the top of the leaderboard.

Smylie and Charlie are then joined by NBC's longtime lead golf play-by-play voice Dan Hicks, who will be working his 25th U.S. Open. Dan reflects on some incredible memories at this major championship, and while making his winner pick, the set is crashed by two surprise NBC Sports guests. Finally, SK and CH round out the show with their one-and-done picks, and a daily fantasy lineup that they both love.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap the weekend in golf live on both YouTube and X, from Scottie Scheffler racking up yet another win at the Memorial, to SK's Cleeks finally getting on the board with a team win at the LIV Golf event in Houston.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme open the show with a preview of the PGA Tour's seventh signature event of the season, the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday, before passing it off to Smylie's conversation with Jackson Koivun. Jackson joins the show on the heels of winning Auburn's first men's golf national title, and along with the Fred Haskins, Ben Hogan, and Phil Mickelson awards that he won for his play as a freshman, just received the Jack Nicklaus Award, which comes with an exemption into the Memorial Tournament. SK and CH close the show by making their one-and-done picks for the Memorial.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme run through a long list of items worth discussing from the weekend, including Robert MacIntyre's Canadian Open win, Yuka Saso's U.S. Open win, and a Smylie Show College World Series grudge match pitting Smylie's LSU Tigers against Charlie's UNC Tar Heels. After matching 64s in a Sunday pairing featuring Rory McIlroy and Tom Kim, Smylie and Charlie discuss both star players and whether their game is trending at the right time. On the women's side, SK and CH examine Lancaster Country Club - a course they both loved - and whether the test was too challenging after watching pre-tournament favorite Nelly Korda crash out early. Charlie's failure to advance to the shootout in the Hope Valley member-member tournament results in three incredible names that pique Smylie's interest.

Harry Higgs joins Smylie Kaufman to cover a wide range of topics, starting with his heartfelt winner's speech at the Visit Knoxville Open honoring Grayson Murray's memory with a call for kindness. From there, SK and the Big Rig chart his journey from college - where he played alongside Bryson DeChambeau at SMU - to the pro ranks, and what he's learned along the way. Harry goes behind-the-scenes on the moment of the 2022 WM Phoenix Open - when he and Joel Dahmen removed their shirts on the 16th hole to the delight of the crowd - then recaps his two-win streak on the Korn Ferry Tour, and the four-item pre-shot checklist that has helped immensely with his mental approach. The episode concludes with Smylie and Charlie Hulme making their one-and-done picks for the RBC Canadian Open.

We begin the show with a remembrance of Grayson Murray in the wake of his tragic passing, and read some words from his parents, who ask to honor Grayson's legacy with kindness for one another. Smylie shares parts of his relationship with Grayson, who was incredibly supportive of Smylie in tough professional times and would reach out to check on him frequently. Charlie joins the show from a cabin in Mullen, Nebraska, and gives a full rundown of his trip to Sand Hills Golf Club, which leads into a review of Smylie's recent golf trip to Streamsong Resort. Finally, SK and CH recap the play at Colonial, and Davis Riley's first solo Tour win at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Topics of discussion include Scottie Scheffler's pre-round stretching routine in a jail cell, a sincere apology after both one-and-done picks missed the cut, and a stacked leaderboard heading into the weekend at a venue that always provides major championship drama.

An emergency reaction pod was in order after the shocking news that the sports world woke up to this morning: Scottie Scheffler, the #1 player in the world and betting favorite heading into the week at the PGA Championship, was arrested in the early hours of the morning on felony charges as he attempted to enter Valhalla Golf Club in the wake of a fatal traffic accident. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme lay out the timeline of events, discuss how it could have been handled differently, and look forward to the day ahead with Scottie back on the course and playing in the second round of the PGA Championship.

Live from T-Mobile Club Magenta on the 10th hole at Valhalla Golf Club, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down all the action from the first day of the PGA Championship.

Smylie and Charlie also have a "clutch gene" discussion as it relates to Xander Schauffele after another near miss at a marquee event while playing in the final group. Smylie is then joined by Bob May, runner-up to Tiger Woods in the 2000 PGA Championship at Valhalla, to relive that thrilling playoff finish (and Tiger's iconic walk-in putt).

Akshay Bhatia joins Smylie Kaufman to detail a thrilling playoff finish at the Valero Texas Open in April, which got him into his first-ever Masters Tournament. Akshay discusses his unique path to turning pro, and how that journey has paid off with two PGA Tour wins already at the age of 22. Smylie and Akshay look at videos from his putting coach Stephen Sweeney and detail his journey with the "broomstick" putter, and also look at some videos from his short-game coach Gabriel Hjertstedt while charting his development around the green.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme compare and contrast the two marquee events on the pro golf calendar this past weekend: the PGA Tour's CJ Cup Byron Nelson, and LIV Golf's event in Singapore. Both featured low scores, but LIV's leaderboard was full of recognizable names. SK and CH discuss numerous LIV Golf strategies - with varying effectiveness - and wonder what the PIF's long-term goals are, and how we could see that play out on the stage of American golf. Smylie and Charlie also take look at LIV's career money list since its inception in 2022, and come away mind-boggled at the magnitude of the earnings for several players.

PGA Tour winner and the 12th-ranked player in the world, Sahith Theegala, joins Smylie Kaufman for a wide-ranging conversation that begins with his love for breakfast burritos and the game of chess. After discussing Sahith's various chess strategies, he and Smylie move to a discussion about how that mindset impacts the way he plays golf. Sahith breaks down his course management strategy depending on the nature of the competition, and also analyzes swing changes he's made in the past year.

This week's Zurich Classic recap immediately goes off the rails thanks to Rory McIlroy's rousing rendition of "Don't Stop Believin" in celebration of a playoff win with his partner Shane Lowry. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme grade that karaoke performance, compare the PGA Tour's team event in New Orleans with a thrilling team finish for LIV Golf in Australia, and use the week's action as a jumping-off point to discuss ways in which the two league concepts could be combined to best suit fan interests. Finally, in an act of immersion therapy, Smylie and Charlie check into the "Hiya Hotel" to break down their recent play on the golf course.

In the wake of yet *another* Scottie Scheffler win - this perhaps the most improbable of all on a short turnaround after his victory at the Masters - Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme try to find terms to describe Scottie’s brilliance on the course that haven’t already been used during his four-wins-in-five-starts run. Smylie and Charlie theorize as to what’s being done to market Scottie off the course, and whether there are creative ways to capture his grounded personality in a way that connects with fans. SK and CH compare Scottie’s run to the only golfer on the planet who is in hotter form than he is - Nelly Korda - after her *fifth* win in five starts at the first major of the LPGA season. All that + Miles Russell’s historic feat, Smylie’s big golf trip, and another addition to the Smylie Show gnome family.

We have a tasty Dude Perfect sandwich for you! (which makes the RBC Heritage preview the buns? I dunno). Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme begin by moving from a thrilling Masters week to a preview of the next stop on the PGA TOUR calendar, the signature event at Harbour Town Golf Links. SK then catches up with Tyler Toney and Garrett Hilbert of Dude Perfect, who were in Augusta to watch the first major of 2024. Finally, Smylie and Charlie make their much anticipated one-and-done picks while riding a five-for-their-last-eight heater (although they are officially out of Scottie Scheffler usages).

The 2024 Masters is officially in the books, Scottie Scheffler notches his third win in four starts, and most importantly, the one-and-done heater is alive and well as SK's pick means The Smylie Show has now correctly chosen five of the last eight event winners. Smylie Kaufman, Charlie Hulme, and Larry the Gnome go through a timeline of the action at the year's first major, and wonder if Ludvig Aberg will become the foil to Scottie that pro golf so desperately needs. After a well-deserved pizza break, Smylie and Charlie return to draft teams of the best players who haven't won a major.

After an incredibly entertaining end to Saturday's play at the 2024 Masters, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme announce some HUGE breaking news about a new addition to the show (editor's note: it is both literally and figuratively not huge). Smylie & Charlie break down the all the storylines setting up for a thrilling Masters Sunday, starting at the top with 54-hole leader Scottie Scheffler, and working through the rest of a stacked leaderboard including Collin Morikawa, Max Homa, Ludvig Aberg, Bryson DeChambeau, and Xander Schauffele. Finally, SK & CH end the show with a big surprise! (editor's note: literally)

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down all the action from Thursday at the 2024 Masters. Bryson DeChambeau jumps out to an early lead with a 7-under 65, but lurking a shot back is Smylie's one-and-done pick, Scottie Scheffler. Tiger Woods is off to a strong start, but has 23 holes to play on Friday before the cut. SK & CH listen to an intriguing piece of sound from Wyndham Clark discussing LIV and the 54 holes remaining in the tournament.

Masters week is here, and Smylie Kaufman & Charlie Hulme are on location at TBonz Steakhouse in Augusta, Georgia with a preview and some picks!

It's not the Notes app, but this will have to do. After weeks of hinting at a move, we are excited to announce that The Smylie Show has a new home: SportsGrid! Smylie Kaufman reflects on a whirlwind first year that led to this decision, and Charlie Hulme lists all the new places you can find the show via SportsGrid distribution. Stay tuned for more content in your podcast feed soon!

After more than a year of struggles with the putter, Scottie Scheffler put together a brilliant performance in the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational that could take the world #1 to even higher heights if he keeps it up. Smylie and Charlie wonder if Smylie could win his next three starts given his track record at the PLAYERS, Houston Open, and the Masters. SK and CH also recap Smylie's well-received Friday Happy Hour coverage featuring Jordan Spieth and Max Homa at the API, and the return of a familiar face this week at the PLAYERS.

Fresh off the course at PGA National and on the road to Bay Hill for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Smylie Kaufman throws in some earbuds to recap the Cognizant Classic with Charlie Hulme. Smylie walked with the latest first-time winner on the PGA Tour - Austin Eckroat - as he finished his final round, and gives some insight into the potential Eckroat has to become a star. While the "Smylie Bump" did not propel Shane Lowry to victory, SK and CH discuss whether his fourth-place finish following Jake Knapp's win should be a recruiting tool to get more Tour pros on the pod. Finally, in recapping Anthony Kim's debut on LIV, Charlie declares his allegiance to the "Wild Cards" as Smylie attempts to recruit AK to the Cleeks.

Shane also relives the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome, and why he bristled at the suggestion that he was the "last" pick on Team Europe.

Smylie Kaufman joins the show fresh off a wild week at the WM Phoenix Open that saw him sprinting to the 16th hole at 6:30 am on Saturday, then calling shots at the par three later that day alongside Kevin Kisner. Smylie and Charlie Hulme discuss all of that, plus concerns stemming from several player/fan incidents that boiled over at the traditionally rowdy event. SK also details his Sunday walk alongside Scottie Scheffler, and how stunning the OWGR No. 1's display of talent was despite finishing tied for third.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme begin the show recapping an exciting end to the Farmers Insurance Open in which the entire final group was in play on the 72nd hole (along with Jake Knapp!) until Matthieu Pavon made an improbable birdie from the rough to record his first PGA TOUR win as a rookie.

Trevor heaps praise on two international players - Min Woo Lee and Tom Kim - who will likely play in the 2024 Presidents Cup, and makes some predictions about several PGA Tour pros who could be primed for breakout seasons.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme celebrate a historic day in golf: 20-year-old Nick Dunlap, who is currently a sophomore at the University of Alabama, won the American Express as an amateur, the first time an amateur has won on Tour since Phil Mickelson in 1991. Smylie recounts what it's been like watching Nick grow up in Birmingham, and what an incredible incubator of golf talent that city's been with the concurrent rise of Vanderbilt junior Gordon Sargent.
