The PGA TOUR's reported 2027 schedule is beginning to take shape, and there could be major implications for players, tournaments, sponsors, and fans.

The conversation also turns toward LIV Golf, recent reports surrounding the league's business operations, and whether future cooperation between the PGA TOUR, DP World Tour, and LIV could eventually emerge.

Smylie Kaufman joins Charlie Hulme from the Denver airport after a weekend at Pebble Beach to recap Russell Henley’s dramatic win at the Charles Schwab Challenge - and, of course, his own play on the Monterey Peninsula.

Henley closed birdie-birdie-birdie at Colonial to force a playoff with Eric Cole, then made one more birdie on the first extra hole to win the Charles Schwab Challenge. Smylie and Charlie break down Henley’s clutch putting, Eric Cole’s latest near-miss in search of his first PGA TOUR win, why Colonial rewards elite ball-striking and accuracy, and strong weeks from Ryan Gerard, Ben Griffin, and J.J. Spaun.

The guys also look ahead to the Memorial Tournament and the U.S. Open, with Smylie identifying players he wants to see trending before the next major.

Golf Digest’s Shane Ryan joins Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme fresh off the PGA Championship to unpack one of the strangest stories of major week: Garrick Higgo’s “late, but on time” tee-time penalty — and Shane’s now-viral follow-up question that cut straight through the confusion.

From there, the conversation turns into a wide-ranging look at the modern PGA Championship: finding an identity in the wake of the move from August to May, whether Aronimink produced a fair major test, expectations for PGA Frisco next year, and what makes this championship feel so unique to the Masters, U.S. Open, and Open Championship.

Shane also dives deep into the Ryder Cup, where he breaks down why Jim Furyk may actually be the right pick for Team USA, why Luke Donald and Europe continue to operate with such an edge, and whether the Americans are still searching for a system that can finally match Europe’s continuity.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap Wyndham Clark’s win at the CJ CUP Byron Nelson, where Clark closed with a final-round 60 to reach 30-under par and win by three over Si Woo Kim — despite TPC Craig Ranch’s much-discussed renovation.

Gil Hanse joins Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme for a deep dive on Aronimink Golf Club ahead of the 2026 PGA Championship, which begins May 14 at Donald Ross’s restored Philadelphia-area classic. Hanse explains what makes Aronimink so unique among Ross designs, from its clusters of small bunkers to its bold green complexes, and how his restoration work with Jim Wagner brought the course closer to its original 1920s character.

The crew also discusses tree removal, Philadelphia golf architecture, Cobbs Creek, the 2018 BMW Championship won by Keegan Bradley, and why firm greens, thick rough, and wind could make Aronimink a serious test for the best players in the world. The 2026 PGA Championship is scheduled for May 14–17 at Aronimink.

Sepp Straka joins Smylie Kaufman on The Smylie Show for a wide-ranging conversation on fatherhood, growing up between Austria and Georgia, competing alongside his twin brother Sam, and the path that took him from an under-the-radar junior to one of the best players in the world. Sepp talks about his time at Georgia, why that qualifying culture helped shape him, how he ended up with Srixon after college, and why his equipment setup immediately gave him confidence heading into Q-School.

Later, Sepp gets into the real turning points in his PGA TOUR career: the early inconsistency, working with John Tillery, using TrackMan with more purpose, improving his wedge play and short game, and building a more complete process around practice. Then Charlie joins for Short-Sided to close things out with some lighter stories on food, Georgia guys, and dad life at home.

Gary Woodland completes one of the most emotional wins of the season at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, and Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down both the meaning of the moment and the golf that got it done. They dive into the harrowing neurological trauma Woodland's been dealing with privately and publicly on his seven-year journey back to the winner's circle, the ball-speed and putting numbers that stood out, and what this win means for Gary - and a number of other players inside and outside the OWGR Top 50 - as we look ahead to the Masters.

Smylie and Charlie then offer a reflection on arguably the biggest news in golf this week - Tiger Woods automobile accident which involved a set of charges from the Martin County Sheriff's Department, what it means in a golf context, and the societal reaction at large to one of the game's biggest figures.

A week after coming up one shot short at the PLAYERS, Matt Fitzpatrick got right back to work and won the Valspar Championship. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down the swing work he's done with Mark Blackburn, what stood out most about his mentality after the near miss at Sawgrass, and whether his current form should have people paying closer attention heading into Augusta. They also dive into the pace-of-play controversy on Sunday, with Smylie offering perspective from inside the ropes on what actually frustrates players and how those situations can throw contenders out of rhythm.

The episode also looks at the bigger trends coming out of the Florida Swing, including why so many 54-hole leaders have struggled to close this season, what happened to Sungjae Im on Sunday, and why Copperhead continues to be one of the best non-signature tests on the PGA TOUR. Smylie and Charlie also assess where Brooks Koepka and Jordan Spieth stand as the Masters approaches, including why Brooks’ recent iron play is so notable and why Spieth feels closer than his results might suggest.

The show wraps with a look at the inaugural success that LIV's South Africa event was, and what it means for golf on a global stage. Plus, are Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm in better form that anyone else as we look ahead to Augusta?

They also examine a disappointing Sunday for Ludvig Åberg, discuss Rory McIlroy’s Masters preparation, highlight the recent resurgence in form for Brooks Koepka, and ask the big question: is Scottie Scheffler actually in a slump?

The guys also dive into Daniel Berger’s incredible comeback, analyzing the encouraging signs after nearly two years battling injuries and setbacks. Plus, they discuss strong performances from Ludvig Åberg, Cam Young, and Collin Morikawa, what it means heading into THE PLAYERS Championship, and why Bay Hill’s setup produced one of the most entertaining tournaments of the season.

Smylie and Charlie recap a wild Sunday at PGA National where the Bear Trap once again decided the Cognizant Classic. After Shane Lowry appeared in total control — birdieing 9, eagling 10, and building a three-shot lead — everything unraveled at the 16th tee. The guys break down the wind setup, hole locations, and the pivotal swings that flipped the tournament in minutes. They dive into Nico’s composure, his no-bogey weekend, and what this win says about his resilience after a rocky rookie season. Plus: Shane Lowry’s growing 54-hole storyline, Brooks Koepka’s encouraging signs with the putter, Max Homa’s progress, the state of PGA National on the schedule, Bay Hill projections, and behind-the-scenes stories from a full week in South Florida.

Additionally, Gil Hanse joins the show! Seminole Golf Club is often regarded as one of Donald Ross’s greatest works, but due to environmental factors and architectural modifications, the course was in need of some restorative work to ensure its future.

Gil joins to discuss his two-year process in Juno Beach, rediscovering Ross’s original green shapes, and why he's thoroughly enjoyed working alongside Seminole Superintendent Nelson Caron.

Ludvig Åberg joins Smylie Kaufman to dive deep on a number of topics - witnessing Rory McIlroy's shot of the 2025 Masters from a fairway over, the strategy he employs at some of Augusta National's most pivotal holes, and nearly shooting a 59 at Bethpage Black!

One of the most talented young players in the game of golf, Ludvig begins by retracing an unusual start to the 2025 season - tons of promise derailed by sickness at Torrey Pines and Pebble Beach, before receiving a redemption shot a month later at the Genesis Invitational.

Ludvig also details some of the swing struggles he experienced in 2025, and what he's been working on to get to a more consistent place with the full swing, the short game, and even his putting setup.

Finally, Charlie Hulme joins for a brand-new show segment - "The E9" - to rapid-fire through a series of questions with Ludvig, ranging from golf to anything but.

Smylie and Charlie begin the episode discussing how the TGL format brings out all of the competitive intensity we're used to seeing from Tiger Woods, without the physical strain that comes with four-day Tour events and major championships.

Claire then joins the show to discuss her first interview with Tiger, Kevin Kisner winning the first-ever TGL overtime with a cross-handed pitch, and the energy - and clutch putting - that Tom Kim brought to Jupiter Links ... along with some other tangents, including her TGL "all-fun" team, "arrival outfits" spotted on several players, and whether the "Scoop bump" outweights the ""Smylie Show bump."

We begin the show with Charlie sporting a Drake Maye jersey and firing off some Tar Heel homer takes, only to have his enthusiasm dampened by noted LSU Tiger Smylie. When the golf talk finally begins, it is Scottie Scheffler's ninth win of 2024 at the Hero World Challenge that revived some hot-take comparisons online to Tiger Woods' best seasons. In particular, SK and CH take a look at Tiger in 2000 and Vijay Singh in 2004 in comparison to Scottie in 2024.

The second half of the show features Smylie's conversation with Nick Venson, the founder and CEO of Swag Golf. Nick charts his fascinating journey from a kid who collected Scotty Cameron putters, to producing a special line of headcovers for the USA Ryder Cup team, to now making his own Swag putters via an innovative process.

SK and CH are joined by Keegan Bradley fresh off a BMW Championship win that vaulted him from 50th to 4th in the FedEx Cup standings, in addition to strong consideration for a spot on the Presidents Cup team for which he's already committed as an assistant captain. Keegan discusses that win, his upcoming Ryder Cup captaincy, and Tour life on the road with two kids back home.

Smylie and Charlie are then joined by course architect Andrew Green, who oversaw the restoration of ELGC ahead of the Tour Championship. Andrew explains his thought process behind the restoration, how it's been received thus far, and goes in-depth on how the new grasses will play.

The show concludes with the final one-and-done picks of the season, with a FedEx Cup twist.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme begin by recapping the incredibly unique challenge that Castle Pines posed for the BMW Championship, and the player-caddie partnership between Keegan Bradley and Scott Vail that led to victory.

SK and CH are next joined by Sam Burns and Xander Schauffele for a series of quick "Power Five" chats before teeing off for a practice round. Sam details sharing a house with Scottie Scheffler and trying to figure out whose baby is crying, while Xander answers the hypothetical everyone's been asked the past few weeks - would he rather have Scottie's season, or his?

Smylie and Charlie conclude the show with a dive into Presidents Cup rosters now that the top six players on both the American and International teams have qualified.

We begin with a full breakdown of a course we've not seen on the PGA TOUR since 2006, and all of the elevation and weather factors that will come into play in terms of judging yardages this week in Colorado. SK and CH are then joined for a wide-ranging interview with Sepp Straka, covering everything from whether a hole-in-one on a par three course counts, to Sepp's affinity for Taylor Swift.

1982 Masters champion (and Denver resident) Craig Stadler then joins to discuss his history playing at Castle Pines 17 times while on Tour. And finally, we close out the show with our one-and-done picks for the BMW Championship.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down a highly entertaining Sunday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, with intrigue at the top *and* bottom of the leaderboard - the final pairing of Hideki Matsuyama and Nick Dunlap produced both the eventual winner, and an unlikely entrant into the top 50 of the FedEx Cup standings.

Smylie and Charlie are then joined by Eric Cole, who vaulted his way into the top 50 with a final round 63 at the FedEx St. Jude. Eric recounts a roller-coaster Sunday round that qualified him for PGA TOUR signature events for a second straight year.
