The Smylie Show

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme welcome Michael Brennan, fresh off his Baycurrent Classic win in Japan — his third PGA Tour win, and the sixth win of a run that started on PGA Tour Americas just more than a year ago.
Michael goes in-depth on the work he's done on his putting, and the mechanics behind his 126-mph clubhead speed that ranks him amongst the fastest, and longest, players on Tour.
Plus: Don't miss our first-ever "Talking Tennis" segment on an obsession that has Michael practicing in the heat of the Florida summer, and a hilarious story that had him mistaken for tennis pro while traveling with his racquets.

Smylie Kaufman is joined by Auburn men's golf coach Nick Clinard to discuss winning two national championships in three years ... and somehow, neither of those was the best team he's coached!
Clinard tells the story of a phone call from Jackson Koivun about the Presidents Cup, and answers a question from senior Tiger - and recent guest on the show - Josiah Gilbert.
Plus: the handwritten letters that nearly got Smylie to UCF, building Auburn's culture, and why roster limits are squeezing out late bloomers.

Stay tuned for part 2 with Auburn Men's Golf HC Nick Clinard, dropping Wednesday morning!
Our college golf tour continues as Smylie Kaufman is joined by Auburn senior Josiah Gilbert!
Josiah grew up in an Outback mining town where the only golf course used red dirt for fairways, and didn't take golf seriously until he was 12. Three months after his family moved to Alabama, he was committed to Auburn. Josiah tells Smylie how one casual round with the team changed everything.
Plus: junior golf alongside Aldrich Potgieter, living with Brendan Valdes through his cancer fight, and why he switched his flag from Australia to the USA. Josiah also leaves a question for Coach Nick Clinard, who joins the show Wednesday.

We are checking in on the world of collegiate golf with a bonus episode this week!
Charlie Hulme sits down with UNC sophomore Carson Bertagnole ahead of the Williams Cup at Eagle Point (Oct. 18–20) - a course that both Carson and Charlie love.
Carson takes us inside the four-man playoff that punched his ticket to the Puerto Rico Open, what two PGA TOUR starts showed him about the gap between college and tour golf, and the importance of "process" and using certain triggers to reset during a round.
Plus: his first college win at the Fighting Irish Classic, the best hole at Eagle Point, NIL in college golf, a course-record 61 at Atlanta Athletic Club, and the perfect Chapel Hill day.

With Jon Rahm's announcement that he will not participate in LIV 2.0 - and a number of other LIV players looking to follow suit in breaking their contracts - Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme discuss the current state of LIV Golf, what to make of the years that Rahm spent on that tour, and which pathways should be available to Rahm should he want to come back to the PGA Tour.
Also: Will Bryson DeChambeau participate in LIV 2.0, or do something else entirely? How many LIV 1.0 players will we see on the DP World Tour next year, and how many cards will be available as the PGA Tour changes its competitive structure in 2028? And why is Charlie broadcasting from a golf cart in his garage?
Plus: A shoutout to Austin Hitt as he wins the Korn Ferry Tour Championship, and Smylie laments the state of LSU football.
