The Smylie Show

After coming close numerous times this season, including at the U.S. Open, Rickie Fowler finally wins his first PGA Tour event since 2019 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic - and Smylie called it the week before! Smylie discusses how happy he is to see a good friend and spring break buddy back in the winners circle, and what implications it could have for his chances of making the Ryder Cup team in the fall.

Smylie is joined by four-time NBA champ and two-time NBA MVP Steph Curry as he prepares to play in the eighth edition of "The Match" in Las Vegas. Steph discusses his recent trip to Cypress Point, whether NIL would have impacted his college decision, the biggest basketball shot of his career, his role as Justin Thomas' shooting coach, and the wild question Jordan Spieth asked President Obama during a round of golf.

After a missed connecting flight on his trip back from the Travelers Championship, Smylie joins Charlie on the drive home to Birmingham to discuss all the action from TPC River Highlands, playing golf in overcorrected glasses, the best formats and traditions for Member-Guest tournaments, and a brief preview of the Rocket Mortgage Classic that quickly turns into an in-depth look at Min Woo Lee's schedule.

Smylie is joined by Super Bowl champ, 4x Pro Bowler, and fellow LSU Tiger Andrew Whitworth. Andrew explains the similarities between run blocking technique and the golf swing, talks about the best rusher he ever faced, and gives a surprising answer as to whether football or golf is more gratifying.

While on-site at Los Angeles Country Club walking with a new group every day for the 123rd U.S. Open, Smylie Kaufman checks in each night to "journal" his thoughts with Charlie Hulme - culminating with Wyndham Clark's first major victory. On Thursday, Smylie and Charlie discuss the record-setting 62s that both Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele shot to open the tournament, and whether that was cause for concern about LACC's suitability as a U.S. Open venue. On Friday, Smylie and Charlie discuss the changed weather conditions that led to less low scoring, and the razor thin difference between birdie and bogey at LACC. On Saturday, Smylie and Charlie discuss a moving day without a lot of movement, and the type of approach that players at the top of the leaderboard need to bring into Sunday if they want to win a major. On Sunday, Smylie and Charlie recap Wyndham Clark's convincing win over a leaderboard full of experience and major winners, and talk about the way Rickie Fowler handled losing with grace and class.

Smylie is joined by Mardy Fish, a tennis pro who was ranked as high as seventh in the world playing in the Federer-Nadal-Djokovic-Murray era. Mardy and Smylie discuss the mental health struggles they both faced in their respective sports, Mardy's dominance on the "celebrity golf circuit," and the 123rd U.S. Open being played in Mardy's hometown of Los Angeles.

A wild week in the world of golf went out with a bang as Nick Taylor made a 72-foot eagle putt on the fourth playoff hole to become the first Canadian to win the national open since 1954. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme discuss Taylor's win, the latest updates on the bombshell news last week that the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Public Investment Fund struck a deal to pool commercial interests, and preview the third major of the year - the US Open at Los Angeles Country Club. Matt Stoller, the author of "Goliath: The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy," joins Smylie and Charlie to discuss his antitrust concerns surrounding the proposed PGAT/DPWT/PIF deal.

Smylie Kaufman is joined by PGA Tour winner Michael Kim, who was in the players meeting with Jay Monahan following the bombshell news that the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Public Investment Fund (which runs LIV Golf) would be pooling their commercial interests. Michael explains the questions that were and weren't answered in the meeting, and talks about which players were most vocal. Michael also goes in-depth on his career revival thanks to some key swing changes he made recently.

In a shocking development that rocked the golf world, the PGA Tour, LIV Golf, and the DP World Tour are combining into a single entity to unify the game of golf. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme react to what the news could mean for current PGA Tour players, the division of the PIF money that will be invested into the new entity, and what a global tournament schedule could look like.
