The Smylie Show

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 and Charlie address a brewing controversy with last week's one-and-done picks, and get everyone ready for a week of U.S. Open coverage from "The Smylie Show."

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.

After the final putt dropped in the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge, Gil Hanse and his team began an ambitious project: a "historical restoration" of Colonial Country Club to prepare it in time for the 2024 playing of the tournament. Smylie Kaufman is joined by both Gil, and four-time PGA Tour winner + Colonial member Ryan Palmer to discuss all of the changes made to return the course to its more rugged and natural roots with the 1941 U.S. Open as a reference point. Smylie and Charlie Hulme then conclude the show with their one-and-done picks for the tourney.   In addition to photos provided by Gil, our YouTube episode features footage gathered by the @PGATOUR and @FriedEggGolf from two awesome videos worth watching to prepare for the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge.

The 106th PGA Championship is in the books, and we have a new first-time major winner: Xander Schauffele. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme project where Xander goes from here now that he has a major win to go along with his stellar play this season, discuss a number of other big names that were both in and out of contention at Valhalla, address criticism of how the course played, and recap a fun week for the show in Louisville.

Back in T-Mobile Club Magenta, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down moving day at the 2024 PGA Championship, with a stacked leaderboard heading into the final day of the major championship. SK and CH begin by discussing the "double boomtower" acknowledged by both Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas on the 13th hole at Valhalla, then discuss what the vibes will be like in a Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa final pairing. Smylie and Charlie close the show by making their picks to win - both first-timers!

Fresh off a special edition of "Spillin the T" with Saquon Barkley, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down all the Friday action at Valhalla Golf Club for the PGA Championship. 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.
