Podcast appearances and mentions of Lexi Thompson

This Wednesday episode was recorded early on Tuesday due to Keegan Bradley Bobblehead Night at Madison Square Garden demanding PJ's attendance. Andy and Brendan wonder what other St. John's legends have bobbleheads available, but PJ is most excited to see a Boston sports icon get honored at the World's Most Famous Arena. With a lack of press conference quotes from Palm Springs to discuss, Brendan immediately begins with the Schedule for the Week, beginning with the American Express. This event has a loaded field with many top players beginning their seasons including World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. Andy believes that the Signature Event model has actually enhanced the non-Signature Events as more top-tier players are in need of FedEx Cup points. One-and-done picks are made as Brendan looks to stay hot off a runner-up finish at the Sony. Andy debuts a new segment, "5 Guys to Watch (For Reasons)" and highlights some players to keep an eye on this week. Attention then turns to the Dubai Desert Classic where European Ryder Cup stars will compete this weekend. After discussing some notables for this event, the two continue on and chat through this week's KFT stop at The Abaco Club and the return of the Champions Tour at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship. In news, NCAA Individual Champion Michael La Sasso has signed with the HyFlyers for the 2026 season. Andy and Brendan debate whether yet another young player taking a contract from LIV is the proper way to go vs. playing through a college season and trying to qualify through PGA Tour U. WTGL has also announced some of its initial rosters... including a retired Lexi Thompson. Finally, there's rumblings that the proposed rollback will no longer be going into effect in 2028, as the USGA and R&A are discussing a delay until 2030. Join us in Chicagoland for an SGS Live Show on Thursday, February 12! We'll be hanging out at SPACE in Evanston, Illinois for a night of Q&A, Champs Tour Minute, and plenty of Bears chatter.

We're joined by PGA Tour winner Keith Mitchell, who participated in the Tito's Shorties Classic, airing on YouTube January 13. He tells us what it's been like becoming a (golf) fashion icon and why YouTube golf is here to stay. Plus, we discuss the massive Brooks Koepka news and make our picks for the season-opener in Hawaii. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Despite the lack of (outdoor) professional golf during this first week of January, Andy and Brendan know the show must go on! The two are admittedly down in the dumps a bit with no Kapalua on our TV screens and wonder if we've already seen the final PGA Tour event played at the Plantation Course. This "rite of passage" may not be kicking off 2026, but there has been plenty of TGL to fill the void! The Bay GC and Atlanta Drive match on Tuesday night was a "second-screen filler" for Andy, Brendan, and PJ, and all three admit some level of fatigue with the screen golf league after just three matches of season two. Some of the new holes are nice, Chris Gotterup has been a star, and Roberto Castro has improved the ESPN broadcast, but nobody knows where TGL should rightfully stand in the golf ecosystem. Even with all of these outstanding questions facing its first league, TGL has expanded and founded a WTGL, coming this winter! Lexi Thompson, a semi-retired professional golfer, has signed on to be the face of the women's league, which Andy and Brendan both deem to be "too much" screen golf. Andy thinks a WTGL league could be better than the LPGA's week-to-week product, but doesn't have much faith that the TGL will figure out how to get there. There's a lengthy discussion about TGL rosters and how nobody can figure out who's on what team with all of the "alternates" in play before everyone agrees that too much time has been spent on screen golf in this episode. Speaking of teams, Talor Gooch made a strong, Sam Presti-like move adding Harold Varner III to Smash GC! This trade came as a result of Thomas Detry joining fellow Illini Thomas Pieters on the 4Aces, marking another signing for LIV during this Hot Stove season. Elvis Smylie has also joined the league, teaming up with Leish and Cam Smith on the Rippers. After a very, very abbreviated Schedule for the Week, Andy leads his yearly look at the Top 10 of the OWGR as the group predicts which players will fall out of the top spots by the end of 2026. Join us in Chicagoland for an SGS Live Show on Thursday, February 12! We'll be hanging out at SPACE in Evanston, Illinois for a night of Q&A, Champs Tour Minute, and plenty of Bears chatter. A presale for FEGC members begins at 11 am ET on January 7, with general public tickets going live on January 9.

Our guest today brings some heat to the table when he opens up and tells some tales from the tour…and more. We get to hang out for a bit with our guy, Will Davidson, and hear about this caddie life on Tour for some big-name players, including Lexi Thompson.We open up with our quick banter for about five minutes before we roll it into Will. He shares his extensive experiences as a caddy on the PGA and LPGA Tours. He discusses the essential role of a caddy in supporting players mentally and strategically, recounts memorable stories from his time on tour, and reflects on the dynamics between caddies and players. Will also touches on the impact of COVID-19 on the caddy profession and the importance of maintaining relationships within the golf community. In this engaging conversation, Will Davidson shares his journey as a caddy in the world of professional golf, detailing his experiences with notable players like Lexi Thompson and the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. He discusses the differences between LPGA and PGA Tour players, the emotional moments at significant tournaments, and memorable encounters with golf legends. The conversation also touches on the nuances of caddying, the pressures of tour life, and the importance of consistency in a golfer's game.A few highlights from the show is Will telling the Phil Mickelson story from 2018 while caddying for Beef Johnson, his quick trip to South America to loop it for a player in need, and his run-in with Tiger Woods at Quail Hollow.

Another week, another Sunday episode reacting to a Scottie Scheffler win on the PGA Tour. Andy and Brendan recap Sheriff Scottie's 16th career victory after he defeated Ben Griffin by four shots at The Memorial. Brendan reads through some stats to help put Scottie's three-year run in some historical context before Andy runs through Scheffler's 2017 Walker Cup teammates to show how much his game has improved in eight years. The two are downright giddy that Ian Baker-Finch dropped a "Sheriff" on the broadcast on Sunday which was promptly added to the soundboard. Andy and Brendan also tie up some loose ends on The Memorial by chatting about strong weeks from Ben Griffin and Sepp Straka. Speaking of good weeks, Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler made the most of their sponsor exemptions and Andy is not happy about these free invites into Signature Events. The U.S. Women's Open had some setup issues at Erin Hills after near-six hour rounds became the norm all week long. Maja Stark won her first major championship, another first-time winner at the U.S. Women's Open. Brendan and Andy also discuss Lexi Thompson's stance that she did not "retire" after her sendoff last season. The two then finish up the recap portion of the show with notes from the Austrian Open and a playoff edition of Champions Tour Minute before previewing "Golf's Longest Day" on Monday, even though the name may no longer accurately describe the event.

We recap another eventful week in the game of golf on The Smylie Show, with two new TOUR winners emerging from the only team event of the year, an interesting decision for a 17-year-old phenom on the Korn Ferry Tour, and comments from Scottie Scheffler and Adam Scott on changes to the TOUR Championship competitive structure that could go into place as early as this season. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme begin by discussing the state of their respective games with SK headed into a busy week featuring a pro-am, a golf trip to a top-100 destination, and a member-member tournament. They then recap all the action from the Zurich Classic, with a well-deserved breakthrough for Andrew Novak and Ben Griffin and a discussion about potential Ryder Cup implications. Smylie and Charlie mull over the decision Blades Brown has to make after a crucial T2 in his most recent start, and discuss reports that the PGA TOUR playoff format could potentially feature match play. Charlie then welcomes Brynn Walker Collins on the show to recap a wild finish at the Chevron Championship given her experience on the LPGA, and discuss notable performances by both Nelly Korda and Lexi Thompson.

(00:01) Golf Season Kickoff and Equipment Upgrades This chapter captures a lively conversation between John Ashton and Jeff Smith as they discuss the start of the new golf season. With temperatures rising, John is excited to hit the golf course for the first time this year, despite not having touched his clubs since November. Jeff humorously suggests replacing all golf gear as a fresh start and warns about the unpredictability of the first round back after a layoff. We explore how the lack of expectations can lead to surprisingly good performances and the common cycle of initial success followed by disappointment. Emphasis is placed on setting realistic expectations and committing to practice, especially in areas like putting and chipping, which many golfers overlook. The discussion highlights the balance between enjoyment and the pursuit of improvement, while also sharing anecdotes about golf course experiences and the quirks that come with them. (13:45) Preseason Golf Preparation and Rules This chapter offers practical advice for preparing for the golf season after a winter hiatus. We explore the importance of arriving early for a thorough warm-up session, which includes stretching and practicing swings to prevent injuries. Emphasis is placed on the maintenance of golf equipment, such as cleaning club grips to avoid slippage. The chapter also highlights the significance of being prepared for unpredictable spring weather, suggesting items like hand warmers and stocking caps to keep warm. We touch on the idea of using hand warmers to keep golf balls warm in cold weather, while humorously sharing personal anecdotes about golfing in chilly conditions and the physical impact of mis-hits on cold days. (24:35) Early Season Golf Club Selection Strategy This chapter focuses on strategic golfing tips for early season rounds, emphasizing the importance of over-clubbing due to lack of practice and soft ground conditions. We explore why golfers often aren't in mid-season form at the start of the season and how taking extra club can compensate for slower swings and softer ground that absorbs energy, reducing shot distance. The discussion highlights a case study of a young golfer who learns the value of using a stock swing with a higher club for consistency and reliability, rather than relying on a hard swing with a lower club, which often results in greater shot variability and missed opportunities for pars and birdies. The advice centers on choosing the right club for a smoother, more controlled swing, thus maintaining or improving one's handicap by ensuring shots land closer to the target with less spray and variability. (32:47) Golf Posture This chapter explores the common golfing advice of "staying down on it" and questions its validity. We discuss the misconception that golfers must keep their posture and head low throughout their swing, which can lead to back issues and restrict movement. Highlighting examples like Dustin Johnson, we contrast this approach with golfers who allow for upward extension during their swings, such as Lexi Thompson and Justin Thomas, to achieve a wider arc and faster club speed. We emphasize the importance of extending arms for power and maintaining consistency in hitting the ball's sweet spot, ultimately challenging the traditional "stay down" advice in favor of more effective and health-conscious techniques. (42:40) Improving Golf Swing Extension and Impact This chapter focuses on the dynamics of a golf swing, challenging the notion that golfers should keep their heads completely still. We explore the importance of maintaining a consistent chest height throughout the swing, while acknowledging the necessity of using vertical force to optimize power. Emphasizing the role of arm extension, we discuss how successful golfers excel at striking the ground precisely, ensuring effective ball contact. By examining videos of proficient ball strikers, we highlight the significance of hitting the ground accurately to achieve a great shot. We encourage golfers to apply these insights to improve their game, no matter their experience level.

In this special segment, I catch up with Cindy Miller, whose incredible career continues to be recognized with two more Hall of Fame inductions. Cindy reflects on what it means to be honored by the LPGA Professionals Hall of Fame and how special it is to join an elite group of athletes, including Jim Kelly, Jimmy Johnson, Ed Reed, and Neal Heaton, in the University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame—where her induction makes her the 13th golfer to be enshrined. We also talk about her exciting new book, Take Another Shot: At Business, Golf, or Life, and the powerful personal experiences that shaped it, including her family's journey through her husband Allen's struggles with depression and a suicide attempt, and how they all overcame those challenges together. Cindy shares her thoughts on the negative influence of social media, referencing Lexi Thompson's comments about how much words can hurt, and how she overcame people telling her she wasn't good enough to play college and then she helped the Hurricanes win back-to-back National Championships, and how she wasn't famous enough to write a book yet here we are a couple of months away from hers being published. 

This Wednesday episode is yet another TGL Tuesday Live Show! Andy and Brendan went live on YouTube to react to the Ballfrogs getting blown out by LAGC at the SoFi Dome. Brendan begins the show by coining the term "Ballfrauds" and questions how a this roster is losing to Justin Rose. Collin Morikawa was a revelation again, staking his claim as perhaps the best simulator golfer alive and explained that KPMG was now sponsoring his strategy regarding The Hammer. Andy and Brendan discuss the goings-on of TGL Match 5, where the screen technology failed to register a Tommy Fleetwood approach shot. In outdoor golf, Schedule for the Week begins with the WM Phoenix Open. The venue is discussed at length, with the golf course being only a minor factor in what this "venue" entails. Andy, Brendan, and PJ make their fire, mega-lock, hammer down gambling picks for the Waste Management in an effort to bounce back after a poor showing at Pebble. Elsewhere, Lexi Thompson, the retiree, is back again to play at this week's LPGA event, and the Champions Tour is in Morocco! Andy and Brendan also preview LIV's 2025 debut under the lights in Riyadh, airing on Fox Sports 2. In news, the LPGA has a new pace-of-play policy, Lucas Glover wants to ban aimpoint, and the Pebble Beach Pro-Am posted big ratings thanks to Rory's win.

On this edition of Golf Today, Damon Hack and Anna Jackson preview an exciting weekend ahead at the Grant Thornton Invitational with some special guests! Amy Rogers joins to talk Lexi Thompson and Sahith Theegala, then Steve Sands hops on to discuss Scottie Scheffler winning the PGA Tour Player of the Year Award. Finally, Rex Hoggard joins to discuss swirling rumors of the PIF and PGA Tour ongoing negotiations. AMY ROGERS 3:02-7:13 STEVE SANDS 23:50-31:21 REX HOGGARD 32:43-36:42

Andy and Brendan are together again for a Monday episode wrapping up the end of both the PGA Tour and LPGA seasons. Before getting to that, Andy has some thoughts on Golf Channel's coverage of the Australian PGA Championship late Saturday night, as the broadcast cut to commercial after the approach shots on the 72nd hole. Although we didn't entirely see how, Elvis Smylie made his par and secured his first DP World Tour win, holding off Cam Smith in the final group. From there, the two discuss the RSM Classic, the final event of the FedEx Fall and the end of the 2024 PGA Tour season. Maverick McNealy won his first PGA Tour event with a birdie on the final hole, leaving Luke Clanton, Daniel Berger, and Nico Echavarria (and his minute) in a tie for second. Brendan and Andy give props to McNealy on his first win after an up-and-down career so far before questioning how Luke Clanton, an amateur, has not secured a PGA Tour card yet despite his four top ten finishes this season. Brendan also shares a quote from Daniel Berger about how just 10% of his peak play is at a "different level" than most of the guys he's competing with. Lastly, Andy and Brendan take a look at the top 125 bubble at the conclusion of the FedEx Fall, where Joel Dahmen kept his card using the 13 FedEx Cup points he got for free in the no-cut Zozo. Next, they talk through the CME Tour Championship on the LPGA Tour, won by Jeeno Thitikul, making her the big financial winner of this season and NOT Nelly Korda. Lexi Thompson, playing in her final event as a full-time player, expressed some displeasure at split tees on Sunday due to the TV broadcast window, which did not allow her to finish her career on the 18th hole. With golf talk wrapped up, Brendan details the biggest event of the day - the Maplewood 11U football team against Major Tuddy and his band of misfit mascots at Northwest Field. The kids shut out the mascots, winning 13-0 with two forced turnovers in the short game. Major Tuddy did get some hits in though, with footage of a personal foul after an interception making the rounds on Twitter. Andy is fired up about the "best case scenario" of another Bears loss with Caleb Williams looking great, as the 'Flus must be cut loose after this season. PJ shares that Bob Papa is not pleased with the New York Giants and the three make another pitch for a godfather offer to bring him to the Champions Tour full time. To finish this episode, everyone goes back and forth about the inaugural Year in Review livestream, coming to YouTube at some point this week.

Brendan and Andy start this Wednesday episode with some Fried Egg business, highlighting the Black Friday sale in the Pro Shop and promoting the just-announced 2025 events schedule. From there, Brendan gives a shoutout to Dr. George F. Grant, the inventor of the golf tee, who's getting some much-deserved recognition in Massachusetts. Andy is extra excited about the "player uprising" against slow play, which now includes Nelly Korda, Charley Hull, Lexi Thompson, and Lucas Glover, among others. The PGA Tour announced that the much-discussed changes to cut cards and field sizes were approved, with Jay Monahan giving PGA Tour "fans" the lead mention ahead of players and partners in the press release. Lucas Glover was not pleased with the results of this vote, telling Adam Schupak that "they think we're stupid" when saying these changes will improve pace of play. While player cards are getting cut in a few years, budget cuts are also reportedly coming to the PGA Tour as SSG is looking to decrease spending by "tens of millions" of dollars. Meanwhile, the DP World Tour is losing ten players to the PGA Tour, including Paul Waring, who shared his readiness to make the jump on social media. However, many LIV players - Jon Rahm, Sergio Garcia, Mean Dean, and more - will be reinstated on the DP World Tour for this upcoming season, having served suspensions and paid their fines, clearing the path for Sergio to return to the Ryder Cup. In a bonus Sports Minute, Brendan asks PJ for his reaction to the Jets firing GM Joe Douglas and wonders if, somehow, the Browns are the most stable NFL team represented by this podcast. A look at the Schedule of the Week starts with the RSM Classic, the final week of the FedEx Fall. Caitlin Clark will make an appearance in the Pro Am on Wednesday, playing with fellow Iowa icon Zach Johnson. Andy, Brendan, and PJ run through some Games Within a Game for the PGA Tour finale, touching Kelly Kraft, Christo Lamprecht, and, of course, Nico Echavarria. The LPGA season also wraps this week with the CME Group Tour Championship, with $4 million being awarded to the winner. For those wondering, you can play the Black Course at Tiburón Golf Club along side the LPGA stars throughout the week. Lastly, a fan favorite returns home for the Australian PGA Championship this week on the DP World Tour. To wrap things up, Brendan and Andy preview the latest installment of "The Match".
