The 2026 Presidents Cup teams are set, and Kiz is here to break down the selections and what to expect when the U.S. and International teams face off at Medinah. Then, we're joined by Presidents Cup rookie Jackson Koivun as he reacts to being selected for Team USA.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

Unlike the made-for-TV special announcing the final twelve players at this year's Presidents Cup, this Wednesday episode is not a full hour long... but Andy and Brendan do spend most of it reacting to the final rosters and the programming that brought them to us. The two discuss the ridiculousness of a 60-minute show at 5 p.m. on a Tuesday to announce the teams, every player immediately being called "great for the teamroom," and U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker's whispers to Todd Lewis about his selections. Eventually they do get into the picks, most notably Snedeker's selection of Jackson Koivun as the final man on Team USA. Andy and Brendan wonder how Snedeker might've arrived at the decision to take the young star, with some conspiracies being thrown out almost immediately. They debate the merits picking of Koivun (and Jacob Bridgeman) instead of some who did not make the team, including Ryan Gerard, J.J. Spaun, and Ben Griffin. On the International side, Geoff Ogilvy's selections were fairly chalk until a surprise final selection of Christiaan Bezuidenhout, whose wifi (or lack thereof) was a lowlight of the Golf Channel show. PJ can't believe the C-Bez pick and points out that he's ranked lower than assistant captain Taylor Pendrith on basically any list you can find. Andy supposes that the selection was a last-minute rebuttal to the Bridge Man's putter landing a spot on the American side. After plenty of P-Cup talk and a plug for the upcoming SGS Live Show at SPACE, Andy and Brendan discuss a very small Schedule for the Week before getting into some recent news. Colt Knost has found his way back to the forefront of the reinstated amateur debate, but he might've been playing it up on social for those precious, precious impressions. Lastly, Brendan breaks Andy and PJ's brains with a revelation about former PGA of America President Don Rea and his latest whereabouts in a final segment you won't want to miss.

The Callaway and Good Good fallout continues — and this week things get even more interesting.On Episode 396 of the Chasing Daylight Podcast, Matt, Joe, Jeremy, and Dan dig into the latest developments surrounding Callaway and Good Good, including reported personnel changes, the reaction across golf social media, and whether the online outrage actually reflects what everyday golfers think. Matt also gives his perspective while making one thing very clear: he works for Callaway, but his opinions on the podcast are his own. Then there are the LIV Golf rumors. The guys react to speculation about financial trouble, bankruptcy, and the idea of players potentially being compensated with equity in a future version of LIV. Also on the show: Scottie Scheffler's win at East Lake and the Player of the Year debate, the latest Presidents Cup captain's picks, questionable MyGolfSpy wedge rankings, escalating Las Vegas golf prices, the current condition of Coyote Springs, and a look at the YouTube Golf Tournament episode filmed at Rams Hill.And, as usual, the live chat takes the show in a few directions nobody planned.TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE:- Callaway and Good Good fallout continues- Personnel changes following the Good Good controversy- Is social media exaggerating the Callaway backlash?- LIV Golf bankruptcy and player-equity rumors- MyGolfSpy's 2026 wedge rankings- Scottie Scheffler wins at East Lake- Player of the Year debate- Coyote Springs course-condition report- Shadow Creek and Wynn golf pricing- Presidents Cup picks and Team USA apparelMORE CHASING DAYLIGHTEpisodes, articles, golf content & the CDP Pro Shop:https://www.chasingdaylightpodcast.com/LISTEN TO THE PODCASThttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-chasing-daylight-podcast/id1464725572SPONSORED BY GARSEN GOLF — Use code DAYLIGHT15 to save 15%https://garsengolf.comSHOW SUPPORTERSGretsch Golf Academy — https://gretschgolf.com/Las Vegas Golf Superstore — https://www.worldwidegolfshops.com/Rohrs Golf Co — https://rohrsgolf.com/FOLLOW CHASING DAYLIGHTInstagram — https://www.instagram.com/chasingdaylightpodcast/X — https://x.com/CDPGolfShowFacebook — https://www.facebook.com/chasingdaylightpodcastTikTok — https://www.tiktok.com/@chasingdaylightpodcastMORE FROM THE CREWJoe's HittinGreens on Whatnot — https://www.whatnot.com/s/Cdk2ZpkuDamn Good Putter — https://www.damngoodputter.com/1440 Golf - https://www.fourteen40golf.com/FOLLOW THE CDP CREWMathew Wangrycht - https://www.instagram.com/1440golf/Joe Keith - https://www.instagram.com/hittingreens/Jeremy Martin - https://www.instagram.com/damngoodputterDan Hodges - https://www.instagram.com/bogey_free62/Support the show

Sure, the PGA Tour's "Super Bowl" was this weekend, but you knew this Monday episode could only start in one specific way. Andy and Brendan immediately kick things off with a Champions Tour Minute recapping the Ally Challenge, where Michael Block held the 36-hole lead but couldn't prevent Steven Alker from winning his second straight event. The two bring in PJ for a full debrief of an electric Sunday round featuring a vintage performance from Paul Azinger on commentary. Is Blockie the true savior of the Champions Tour? Will he qualify for the 2026 Schwab Cup Playoffs? How can we get Zinger back in our lives for golf's biggest events? All of these questions are asked and the three attempt to answer them before finally transitioning to the results of the 2026 Tour Championship. Scottie Scheffler claimed yet another FedExCup with a win at East Lake, putting to bed any arguments against him being the PGA Tour's Player of the Year for this season. Andy and Brendan break down Scottie's come-from-behind win on Sunday and discuss Viktor Hovland's inability to convert a 54-hole lead for the first time in his career. Andy expresses lament that we're stuck with the same old season-ending format for another year and Brendan was surprised at how sleepy Sunday ended up being, both on the ground and on TV. Ahead of Tuesday night's picks for the Presidents Cup, Andy and Brendan choose their six Americans to fill out the squad and debate whether Ryan Gerard will be at Medinah off a third place finish this week. A quick run-through of the remaining results from the week in golf finishes off this episode, with much more P-Cup discourse to come on Wednesday!

Smylie and Charlie are back to break down Scottie Scheffler's win at the Tour Championship — his second FedEx Cup, his third title of the year, and the moment he passed Tiger Woods for the all-time PGA Tour money record. They dig into the stats, his Jack Nicklaus comparison, and his pointed press-conference comments on East Lake's pin positions and setup.Plus: the full breakdown of Brian Rolapp's 2028 PGA Tour overhaul — the Championship Series schedule taking shape around GO by Raymond James and 14 sponsors chasing the final four spots, the new two-week match play finale format, Rory McIlroy's 15-event rule likely going away, LIV players' return conditions, whether East Lake stays in the Tour Championship rotation, and the wishlist of historic clubs (Olympic Club, Baltusrol, Cypress Point) that could host a reimagined postseason.Lastly, SK and Charlie dive into the Presidents Cup discussion as we look ahead to Medinah.Before all that: Charlie makes his first-ever albatross on Saturday — and discovers a fan who shares his name made one on the very same day.Don't forget to like, comment, subscribe, and follow us on socials @thesmylieshow!Chapters0:00 Intro & toasting the 2026 PGA Tour season's end2:05 Charlie's albatross and the "other Charlie Hume"6:15 Ryan Gerard's murky tour status6:37 Scottie's FedEx Cup playoff run10:39 Scottie's loose press-room mood & the Brandel Chamblee shoutout12:36 Scottie's 2026 season in review: near-misses & the Nicklaus comparison16:24 By the numbers: strokes gained, scoring records & passing Tiger on the money list18:21 The two stats behind the leap: proximity and putts made from 25+ feet23:53 Scottie's East Lake pin-position rant, in his own words26:14 Course architecture debate: this year's setup vs. old East Lake31:34 Should East Lake stay in the Tour Championship rotation?35:13 Brian Rolapp's leadership style & the state of the 2028 overhaul38:19 Championship Series update: GO by Raymond James and the chase for the final 4 events40:21 Scarcity by design: how the new model out-leverages LIV on star power42:29 Board meetings, FedEx's sponsorship future & criteria for the last 4 spots43:27 LIV return conditions, Rory's 15-event rule going away & a fall "world tour"47:43 Inside the new 2-week match play finale format49:59 The "no winner after week one" problem & the TV coverage challenge52:29 Group of death, tournament luck, and the case for match play54:19 Separating the season-long trophy from the finale spectacle57:19 Venue wishlist: Olympic Club, Baltusrol & golf's most exclusive clubs59:29 Smaller crowds, bigger engagement — the Cypress Point/Walker Cup comparison1:01:56 "What is amateur golf in 2026?" — why the top clubs are still cautious1:11:40 Presidents Cup discussion#golf #pgatour #scottiescheffler #tourchampionship #golfrecap #golfhighlights #smylieshow

In this episode, Break80 sits down with South African golf star Christiaan Bezuidenhout for a wide-ranging conversation about the path that took him from a small golf course in Delmas, Mpumalanga, to the biggest stages in professional golf. Christiaan opens up about picking up the game at age four, his rise through South Africa's amateur and Sunshine Tour ranks, and the pivotal years he spent as part of the Ernie Els & Fancourt Foundation, where a young Ernie Els played mentor, coach, and financial backer to the future PGA Tour pro. We talk about what it meant to learn the game under "The Big Easy," how that relationship shaped his career, and what it was like to later stand alongside Els on the International Team at the Presidents Cup. From there, we dig into his current life on the PGA Tour — his approach to competing week to week against the world's best, standout performances at the majors, and what's next on his goals list. Christiaan also shares the deeply personal side of his story: his lifelong experience with stuttering, and his partnership as an ambassador for the Arthur M. Blank Center for Stuttering Education & Research, where he's used his platform to raise awareness and support others navigating the same challenge he once faced.

This Friday episode begins with some cleanup from earlier in the week on both the LIV Golf and PGA Tour fronts. Andy shares a forgotten story from The Boys' week in Indianapolis about a pressing question PJ asked a high-level LIV official regarding - you guessed it! - the Champions Tour. Brendan concedes the question was fair, but the timing was too insane to ever get an actual answer to something that barely matters to anyone but PJ. The two then clear up some confusion from Wednesday's episode regarding the PGA Tour's new season-ending format and how the points list will form the field of 32 for the first week of match play. Brendan also wonders if the match play bracket will be re-seeded after the initial cut to 16, sending Andy and PJ off the edge about the sanctity of competition and how brackets work in every other sport. After a brief bit of 2026 Tour Championship news in the form of a J.J. Spaun withdrawal, Andy and Brendan then react to the latest in the Good Good advertisement fallout. Since Wednesday's episode, Good Good has had their merchandise pulled from shelves at retailers, Callaway has cut ties with the brand, and they will no longer sponsor the PGA Tour's event in Austin this fall. The two discuss the place of influencer marketing in today's golf ecosystem and evaluate the damage that the driver ad has done in just under a week since its posting. To top things off, it was announced mid-recording that Golf Channel had cancelled this season of "Big Break" as well. This episode ends on a lighter note with two Golf Advice questions, with one sending Andy, Brendan, and PJ on a long-winding trip though the Seven Wonders of the World and whether society needs to rollback what we're calling a "Wonder" in 2026.

An "invigorated" Brendan kicks off this Friday episode with some observations from two days at Merion Golf Club as the 2026 U.S. Amateur has now reached the match play rounds. He and Andy discuss the early results and they wonder if the USGA should re-seed the bracket to avoid top players facing each other too early. Brendan also passes along some feedback from the ground about Wednesday's segment regarding Ben Hogan's famous one-iron, but Andy doubles down on the fact that the plaque could be better served commemorating a different moment from Hogan's round. The two debate Merion's status as a top-tier championship venue and whether it could host a U.S. Open given its current setup, with more to come on this topic on Monday. In Memphis, Jordan Spieth is out to an early lead at the FedEx St. Jude as he looks to finish in the top ten for the first time this season. Rory McIlroy turned in a 74 in his first competitive round since Birkdale, but he'll have to suffer through three more days of the heat given this is a no-cut event. On Thursday morning, James Corrigan reported that LIV officials were "resigned" to the fact that Jon Rahm will not return for the 2027 season, seemingly setting him up for a full year on the DP World Tour instead. Andy and Brendan discuss what this means for LIV 2.0 and its possible lone star, Bryson DeChambeau. Lastly, Kevin Van Valkenburg once again joins for a B. Draddy Flashback Friday focusing on the 2000 Presidents Cup and a rivalry between Tiger Woods and a famous caddie. We’re returning to SPACE for a Presidents Cup week Live Show Presented by B.Draddy!

Six-time PGA Tour winner Hunter Mahan joins Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme to talk about his unexpected return to golf. Mahan opens up on why he stepped away from competing in 2021 — burnout, the grind of travel, and an envy that "took over" and wasn't good for his soul — and what's pulled him back into playing after several years coaching high school golf at Liberty Christian in Argyle, Texas, alongside football coach Jason Witten. A few months of posting practice-round videos to social media turned into a full comeback arc, complete with a new equipment deal through Grant Horvat's Primo.Plus: Hunter breaks down the swing videos he's been posting — his takeaway feel, getting the clubface more shut, and clearing up the Justin Rose "shallowing" myth — and walks through his short game reboot under Stan Utley (of Parker McLachlin's Short Game Chef), including the shaft-angle and forearm-rotation keys that turned his chipping around. The guys also get into a wide-ranging Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup conversation: why Team Europe consistently looks looser under pressure, Mahan's own Presidents Cup debut alongside Justin Leonard and Paul Azinger, the case for a real U.S. national team pipeline, and a frank look back at the U.S. team's collapse at Bethpage in 2025.Before they let him go: Hunter's top tips for teaching your kids golf, and a very serious debate over which foursome wins — the Golf Boys or the 2016 Spring Breakers.Don't forget to like, comment, subscribe, and follow us on socials @thesmylieshow!Chapters0:00 Intro & why the beard came off1:41 Why Hunter Mahan stepped away from the tour — and what's pulling him back3:03 Coaching high school golf with Jason Witten at Liberty Christian7:42 The burnout and envy that pushed him away from competing9:56 What went wrong with his swing after 201515:11 Breaking down Hunter's Instagram swing videos 21:53 Inside his short-game reboot with Stan Utley27:16 Who spins it best around the greens on tour? 29:33 Utley's keys: shaft angle, forearm rotation, hitting it high vs. low33:09 The "level eyes" fix and driving through the chip40:33 Ryder Cup vs. Presidents Cup — why Team Europe has the edge49:44 Mahan's Presidents Cup debut: Justin Leonard & Paul Azinger52:42 Building a real U.S. national team pipeline56:18 Bethpage 2025 post-mortem: "everyone's got a plan till they get hit in the mouth"59:06 Hunter's top tips for teaching kids golf1:02:32 Hypothetical: Golf Boys vs. the 2016 Spring Breakers1:06:03 Sign-off#golf #huntermahan #pgatour #smyliekaufman #smylieshow #golfpodcast #golfhighlights

Yes, the Sweat Swing begins this week at TPC Initech, but the FedEx St. Jude does NOT receive Andy's Event of the Week honors! He bestows the title upon this week's U.S. Amateur at Merion, breaking down the early action with Brendan to kick off this Wednesday episode. Brendan is excited to hopefully take in some of the tournament in-person this week but wonders how, in the age of streaming everything, there's been no broadcast coverage of the stroke play rounds so far. The two run through some big names that won't be making it to match play and set up what should be a great weekend of golf at one of America's most iconic championship venues. There is a beefy (or sweaty?) preview of the FedEx St. Jude, complete with an updated weather forecast for Memphis, Tennessee! Andy's 5 Guys to Monitor This Week highlights a surprise appearance from one of the Tour's biggest stars, two Bubble Boys looking to make the Top 50, and one of the best dressed players in the field. The Schedule for the Week continues with the return of the DP World Tour and Michael Block's return stateside for this weekend's Boeing Classic on the Champions Tour. In perhaps the biggest news of the week, Brendan is tasked with explaining himself after getting ratioed on Twitter for just stating that Michael Kim has more followers than Rory McIlroy, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and even the New York Yankees(!) on the platform. We will return Friday with some more Bubble Boy discourse and whatever else presents itself in the next 48 hours of golf.

Andy and Brendan! went LIVE on YouTube for a Summer Friday recording that recapped the latest news regarding LIV Golf's new "investment." The two discuss LIV CEO Scott O'Neil's initial announcement of an investor signing a terms sheet on Wednesday morning and the ensuing reports that have suggested that this "investment" might really just be a loan. Andy points out that the headlines would be radically different had the announcement been that LIV found a creditor instead of an investor, a spin on the news that is still confusing people days later. Brendan goes through a timeline of follow-up reporting from Axios, The Financial Times, and more to give a full scope of the current status of this "investment." The two wonder how Jon Rahm's massive contract will figure into these future equity negotiations, especially if he leaves the league after the conclusion of the 2026 season. It does seem like Bryson DeChambeau will be sticking around, but will his presence be enough for the reported investors, BC Partners, to actually foot the bill moving forward? After a lengthy LIV Minute, Brendan quizzes Andy on which states are NOT represented by participants at next week's U.S. Amateur before Kevin Van Valkenburg calls in for Flashback Friday. KVV brings a story from the first-ever Presidents Cup about Loren Roberts and a penalty that would set the golf world ablaze if it occurred next month at Medinah. Also contained in this episode is a debate about how many "real cities" are in the United States, courtesy of Andy and PJ's week in Chicago. Are we a country of just a bunch of nice towns?

And that's where my faith really started growing.- Golf was just the way that God got me to where he wanted me to be- I finally realized I'm giving all the glory to God- Why Bubba joined LIV and what he is trying to pour into his teammates- Romans 15:7: therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you for the glory of God- No matter where you've been, no matter what you've done, no matter how many mistakes you've made, Almighty God wants to welcome you through Jesus ChristFollow Bible Caddie:Instagram: @biblecaddieTikTok: @biblecaddieX: @biblecaddieListen and subscribe: https://www.biblecaddie.com/podcastInterested in starting a Bible Caddie Featured Group? groups@biblecaddie.comQuestions or inquiries: info@biblecaddie.comShop Bible Caddie: https://www.biblecaddie.com

With the Western Am at one of his favorite spots in Chicago, Andy is in a great mood for this Wednesday recording. To start things off, he gets Brendan going on the wonders of growing up as caddies and the lessons they learned at a young age that today's kids are missing out on due to their "silly apps." Eventually they get to pro golf, beginning with the latest news from what looks like LIV Golf's last stand. Flushing It has reported that the league will cancel its season-ending team championship in Michigan, leaving just two events left on the schedule. Andy compares these constant updates to the "world's longest funeral procession" as the reported September 1st deadline for new investors gets closer and closer. Brendan spent the morning looking at the rest of the year's calendar and tasked Andy and PJ with making lists of the five events they're most looking forward to after this week. There's plenty of Presidents Cup excitement, but a Solheim Cup, Walker Cup, and the U.S. Am at Merion are also reasons to stay tuned in through the fall. In this discussion, Brendan submits a new strategy for the International Team that may throw the Americans off at Medinah. As for this week's schedule, the Rocket Classic puts on its grand finale at a newly-renovated Detroit Golf Club, the AIG Women's Open rounds out another major season, and the Champions Tour is hanging at Ernie's Place in Portugal. The two wrap with news of the first two Championship Series sponsorships beginning in 2028 and the very hefty price tags that come with these naming rights.

Has the PGA Tour's newest star finally arrived? Andy and Brendan went LIVE on YouTube on Sunday night for a lengthy recap of the 3M Open following Jackson Koivun's first PGA Tour win. Koivun held off a charging Scottie Scheffler at TPC Sod Farm, never allowing the lead to be closer than two shots during the final round. Andy and Brendan discuss what this victory means not only for Koivun's early career, but also for the future of the PGA Tour as they may have a new star to build around with the massive schedule changes coming in just two years. Andy highlights Koivun's competitiveness and poses that his mentality is the reason why he'll be different from past "young stars" like Matthew Wolff, Nick Dunlap, and Luke Clanton. Brendan then stops to give Scottie Scheffler his flowers after yet another runner-up finish, his fourth of this season. Koivun's Presidents Cup chances immediately became a topic of online conversation, so Andy and Brendan run through the U.S. standings and wonder if the "Boys Club" mentality will win out again for this year's event at Medinah. Other 3M amusements include a big week from Muzzy Donohue, an amazing visual from Lucas Glover, and a strong Sunday round from Jake Knapp. Elsewhere in results, Big Tom Morrison's hot streak on the Korn Ferry Tour led to a win, Jerry Kelly's "hockey brain" captured the senior Claret Jug, and Lucas Herbert made up for a Birkdale loss by winning LIV U.K. A Sports Minute focusing on LeBron James and Pete Crow-Armstrong closes out this episode, but Brendan tosses in a much-needed Nico Echavarria update for all those clamoring for one!
