The Smylie Show

Smylie Kaufman talks to Kolby "K-Wayne" Tullier about his path from being told he wouldn't walk, to becoming one of the most prolific trainers in professional golf. Kolby tells SK that he was part of the "OG Stable" in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where Kolby started his first gym. Kolby now trains Justin Thomas, Max Homa, Tom Kim, and Tommy Fleetwood, among others.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme discuss a wide-ranging assortment of topics surrounding the Genesis Invitational, including Hideki Matsuyama's historic Sunday charge to a 62, how much Tiger Woods has left in the tank, and the conspiracy theories linking In-N-Out to the influenza outbreak at the tournament. SK and CH also theorize as to why the core group of American stars seem to be in the midst of a slump, and break down some swing video.

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.

PGA Tour rookie Jake Knapp talks to Smylie Kaufman about his professional journey from working security at a bar, to finishing third in the third start of his rookie season at Torrey Pines. Jake also discusses how his love for weightlifting has translated into a golf swing with easy power (with a bench/squat/ball speed/clubhead speed reveal!), and compares 2020 Call of Duty routines with SK.   0:11 Biggest check Jake & Smylie ever cashed in pro golf 2:19 Jake's finish at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines 7:47 experiencing the Waste Management Open for the first time 11:48 Jake's professional journey 23:19 working as security at "The Country Club" 35:38 Jake's bench/squat max 42:11 The bodybuilder diet 42:45 Jake's ball speed/clubhead speed 50:19 Video games

For the first time in show history, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme record the pod together on location in Pebble Beach! SK & CH begin discussing a fun week of golf and shoots for the channel on the Monterey Peninsula, including a round at Spyglass Hill the day after being used for the AT&T Pro-Am, and an insanely windy trip around the back nine at Pacific Grove Golf Links. Up next is a recap of the week in pro golf, including a 60 for Wyndham Clark and a 59 for Joaquin Niemann that propelled both players to 54-hole wins on their respective tours. Finally, Smylie and Charlie review the PGA Tour's deal with the SSG, what's been said on the topic by Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy, and what impact the deal will have on fans of pro golf.

James Sieckmann, short-game expert and instructor to a number of different Tour pros (including Smylie), discusses the most productive type of short-game practice, how to judge a bunker lie and adjust accordingly, and the keys to being a successful putter.

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. Smylie also recounts his time at the PGA Show, where he hit bombs with a ladies driver at TopGolf in front of Tom Watson. Dylan Dethier then joins Smylie to discuss his bombshell report last week that Anthony Kim is considering a return to professional golf after a 12-year absence. Finally, Smylie and Charlie discuss the big news that SK will be in a kayak at the Players Championship on Wednesday.

Trevor Immelman, 2008 Masters champion and lead golf analyst for CBS, discusses his love for broadcasting, praises rising golfers Min Woo Lee and Tom Kim, predicts breakout seasons for PGA Tour pros, and shares challenges of playing in a noisy environment and building a brand in golf.

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. SK and CH also discuss whether it's even a question if Nick will turn pro given all the immediate status that comes with a Tour win.

Smylie Kaufman is joined by a James Nitties - a fellow former PGA and Korn Ferry Tour pro who has found success as a broadcaster after the conclusion of his playing career. James and Smylie discuss all of the Korn Ferry Tour graduates to the PGA Tour, and project which rookies will have the most success in the 2024 season.
