The Smylie Show

Scottie Scheffler is your 2024 FedEx Cup champion, and after three weeks on the road for the FedEx Cup playoffs, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme are back at home recapping the final event of the PGA TOUR season at East Lake Golf Club. 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.
