Claire then joins the show to discuss her first interview with Tiger, Kevin Kisner winning the first-ever TGL overtime with a cross-handed pitch, and the energy - and clutch putting - that Tom Kim brought to Jupiter Links ... along with some other tangents, including her TGL "all-fun" team, "arrival outfits" spotted on several players, and whether the "Scoop bump" outweights the ""Smylie Show bump."

Welcome back ... to the Smylie Show! Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme cover a wide range of topics this week - from Sepp Straka's win at the American Express, to comments Rory McIlroy made about a protege of his potentially departing for LIV Golf, to the incredibly short-lived TikTok ban. Sepp's win marked just one of a number of interesting storylines coming out of La Quinta, including the continued resurgence of Justin Thomas' game, and some notable pace of play issues on Sunday with a series of changes on the PGA TOUR looming in 2026. On the DP World Tour, a week that began with Rory outlining the conversations he had with Tom McKibbin ahead of a reported move to LIV ended with a LIV player, Tyrrell Hatton, hoisting a trophy at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. All that + some live (at the time) NFL Playoff commentary, and yet another Sicko Gear Tinkerers report.
