The Smylie Show

The guys are on site for another major championship - broadcasting from the T-Mobile Benefits Hub on the 1st hole at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club!
Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme begin with a full breakdown of the current course conditions, and how the setup has changed since the last time Shinnecock hosted the U.S. Open in 2018.
Wyndham Clark then joins the show to discuss his current form, some key swing and gear changes he's made this year, and whether Smylie's hot dog condiments are acceptable or bizarre.
Smylie and Charlie close the show by profiling some of the favorites in the field, and making their picks to win.
Join us all week long for coverage presented by T-Mobile, the Official 5G Network Partner of the USGA!

Golf Channel analyst and former PGA Tour winner Arron Oberholser joins Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme to swap incredible Tour stories, break down Scottie Scheffler's current swing, and preview the upcoming U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills.
Arron tells the unbelievable story of winning a tournament after bending his putter and using a wedge on the greens, shares old-school short game techniques that today's players rarely use, explains why Scottie's iron play may not be quite as sharp as we're accustomed to seeing, and gives his thoughts on who could surprise at the next major championship.

With 33 holes played already on Sunday at Muirfield Village, it took J.T. Poston two more to emerge victorious, punching his ticket to Shinnecock Hills (and avoiding another 36 holes on Golf’s Longest Day) in the process. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap the week at Memorial, and Poston’s journey back to the winner’s circle.
Smylie was on-site at Jack’s Place and gives his perspective on how Poston found something special with his ball striking and putter, why Ryan Gerard’s putting turnaround is elevating his ceiling, and how brutal Muirfield Village played before the weekend rain softened the golf course.
The guys also discuss Scottie Scheffler’s viral frustration at the 16th hole, Wyndham Clark’s form heading toward the U.S. Open, Golf’s Longest Day, Nelly Korda’s first U.S. Women’s Open win at Riviera, the future of mixed men’s/women’s golf events, and the latest LIV Golf reporting.
