250: FedEx Cup Playoffs Look Ahead + Hap...

The Smylie Show
About this episode
With just one week remaining in the PGA TOUR regular season before the FedEx Cup playoffs begin, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme discuss Kurt Kitayama’s win at the 3M Open, Joaquin Niemann’s win on LIV, and where strong weeks for Jake Knapp and Chris Gotterup position them for Team USA Ryder Cup picks. Producer Jaxon Brown joins for his first extended show cameo to give his boots-on-the-ground report from TPC Twin Cities, and recaps his favorite moments from Happy Gilmore 2 with Smylie. Finally, Charlie brings some group chat beef to the show, as rumors that his North Carolina Tar Heels will join Smylie’s LSU Tigers in the SEC are heating up.
