241: Smylie's 4th of July Course Record Attempt + Will Max Homa Make The Ryder Cup Team?
Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme catch up after a long 4th of July weekend and some well-needed time at the municipal golf course, where Smylie attempted to break his own (truly absurd) course record. Smylie and Charlie then recap the John Deere Classic, wondering if they are underrating Brian Campbell after his second TOUR win this season (despite only averaging 276 yards off the tee). They also discuss Max Homa's near miss, and what it would take over the next two months to make the USA Ryder Cup team this fall. Finally, SK and CH look over some changes to the TOUR Championship purse structure in the wake of adjustments to the competitive format, and discuss whether it makes the playoffs any more compelling.

240: Steph Curry on Cypress Point, College Basketball in the NIL Era, and the biggest shot he's ever made
We step into The Smylie Show vault to bring you an episode prior to our YouTube era - a 2023 conversation with future Basketball Hall of Famer Steph Curry!
Steph joined Smylie Kaufman in June '23 to discuss one of his favorite yearly tournaments at Cypress Point, golf on the celebrity circuit, and whether he would have entertained a transfer away from Davidson in the new collegiate era of NIL. Steph and Smylie also discuss injuries and battling through those struggles, and compare the concentration required inside a noisy NBA arena to the focus required on a quiet golf course.

238: Collin Morikawa's Reporter Exchange + Who is IN or OUT for the Ryder Cup?? 🏆
Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme react to Collin Morikawa's testy exchange with Adam Schupak ahead of the Rocket Classic, and the news that he is ending a short-term partnership with caddie Joe Greiner. Smylie reports on his recent trip to Bethpage Black, and the one player he thinks is a PERFECT fit for the Ryder Cup there this fall. Finally, Smylie and Charlie create "tiers" for both Ryder Cup teams - who will absolutely be on the team, who should go, who is on the bubble, and who will likely miss out.
Smylie Kaufman is a PGA Tour winner, pro golf broadcaster, and the host of "The Smylie Show". Every week, along with his producer and co-host Charlie Hulme, Smylie provides insights and analysis on the game of golf (along with a handful of other miscellaneous items), in addition to sharing long-form conversations with Tour pros and other celebrities who love the game.
