Rory McIlroy Wins At Pebble Beach + Smyl...

The Smylie Show
About this episode

Join us on another episode of The Smylie Show, as Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme take a different approach to recapping this week’s PGA TOUR stop at one of the most iconic venues in golf!

Fresh off a whirlwind West Coast trip, Charlie discusses his love for Cypress Point and a number of Tour pros who checked it out before the AT&T Pro-Am began. The tournament recap begins with comments from Rory McIlroy about how venues matter in golf, leading into Smylie ranking every golf course used on a recurring basis by the PGA TOUR from top to bottom.

We conclude by marveling at the highlights of Rory’s performance at Pebble Beach, grading Scottie Scheffler’s return from a hand injury, highlighting Tom Kim as part of an ongoing discussion about pace of play on Tour, and very briefly reacting to Luka Doncic’s shocking trade to the Lakers.
