Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme begin the show recapping a Rocket Classic win for the youngest player on TOUR - 20-year-old Aldrich Potgieter - who also happens to be its fastest and longest player, averaging more than 190 mph of ball speed off the tee! 🤯 SK and CH also dig into the details of another putter change for Collin Morikawa, which looks like it could be the difference in his pursuit of a major 🏆 in 2025.
Smylie is then joined by Scott Fawcett of DECADE (learn more at decade.golf) to discuss Scott's role in providing strategic insights to TOUR pros, the "Tiger Five" (what they are, how you can use them to shoot a better score, and the ridiculous statistical jump Tiger Woods took heading into his record breaking 2000 season), and the *only* factor Scott would consider if he was recruiting for a college team today.
