    239: Is Aldrich Potgieter the future of golf? 🚀 + Scott Fawcett of DECADE on better golf strategy
    Jun 30 2025
    Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme begin the show recapping a Rocket Classic win for the youngest player on TOUR - 20-year-old Aldrich Potgieter - who also happens to be its fastest and longest player, averaging more than 190 mph of ball speed off the tee! 🤯 SK and CH also dig into the details of another putter change for Collin Morikawa, which looks like it could be the difference in his pursuit of a major 🏆 in 2025. Smylie is then joined by Scott Fawcett of DECADE (learn more at decade.golf) to discuss Scott's role in providing strategic insights to TOUR pros, the "Tiger Five" (what they are, how you can use them to shoot a better score, and the ridiculous statistical jump Tiger Woods took heading into his record breaking 2000 season), and the *only* factor Scott would consider if he was recruiting for a college team today.

    Jun 26 2025
    Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme react to Collin Morikawa's testy exchange with Adam Schupak ahead of the Rocket Classic, and the news that he is ending a short-term partnership with caddie Joe Greiner. Smylie reports on his recent trip to Bethpage Black, and the one player he thinks is a PERFECT fit for the Ryder Cup there this fall. Finally, Smylie and Charlie create "tiers" for both Ryder Cup teams - who will absolutely be on the team, who should go, who is on the bubble, and who will likely miss out.

    237: Should Keegan Bradley play in the Ryder Cup? 🏆 + James Colgan on new PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp
    Jun 23 2025
    We begin this week on the Smylie Show with Smylie Kaufman & Charlie Hulme's reaction to a stunning comeback win for Keegan Bradley at the Travelers Championship! With Bradley set to captain the American side in the Ryder Cup this fall, Smylie and Charlie discuss what more Keegan needs to do in order to feel comfortable using a pick on himself as a playing captain - the first time since Arnold Palmer in 1963. SK and CH also delve into the flip side of Bradley's win - a devastating finish for Tommy Fleetwood as he continues to search for his first-ever PGA TOUR win.

    Smylie and Charlie are then joined by GOLF.com's James Colgan, who provides some insight on the TOUR's new CEO, Brian Rolapp. James delves into the work Rolapp did as the de facto No. 2 at the NFL, including landmark media deals that could inform the approach he'll take with the PGA TOUR.

    Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap moving day at Oakmont, which began in the rain and concluded with Smylie's fellow LSU Tiger, Sam Burns, sleeping on the lead once again at the 2025 U.S. Open.

    Smylie witnessed Adam Scott's round-of-the-day 67 firsthand on the NBC broadcast, and breaks down what the Australian will need to do Sunday to become the second-oldest U.S. Open winner and add a second major to his trophy case.

    SK and CH also discuss the days that Viktor Hovland and JJ Spaun had - both near the top of the leaderboard, but a shot further off after bogeying 18 to finish their respective days.

    We get a special Father's Day cameo from Smylie's dad Jeff - aka the "Squirrel Man" - and an update on the Rain Shorts movement after Charlie's Turnpike Hike in full gear. Make sure you're subscribed for a full recap of the 2025 U.S. Open on Sunday night!

    Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap day one of the 2025 U.S. Open, which tested the patience of the game's best while allowing ten rounds under par. Smylie spent his day following the group of Jon Rahm, Jordan Spieth, and Dustin Johnson, and has a bold statement to make after watching Rahm drive the ball around Oakmont. Smylie then runs through a list of pre-tournament favorites who struggled on Thursday - including Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, and Rory McIlroy - to predict whether or not they'll be around for the weekend.
