The Smylie Show

TGL digital host (and host of GOLF's "The Scoop") Claire Rogers joins Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme to break down the overtime win notched by Tiger Woods' Jupiter Links over Rory McIlroy's Boston Common - by far the most entertaining match in the four-week history of the TGL! 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."

Welcome back ... to the Smylie Show! Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme cover a wide range of topics this week - from Sepp Straka's win at the American Express, to comments Rory McIlroy made about a protege of his potentially departing for LIV Golf, to the incredibly short-lived TikTok ban. Sepp's win marked just one of a number of interesting storylines coming out of La Quinta, including the continued resurgence of Justin Thomas' game, and some notable pace of play issues on Sunday with a series of changes on the PGA TOUR looming in 2026. On the DP World Tour, a week that began with Rory outlining the conversations he had with Tom McKibbin ahead of a reported move to LIV ended with a LIV player, Tyrrell Hatton, hoisting a trophy at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. All that + some live (at the time) NFL Playoff commentary, and yet another Sicko Gear Tinkerers report.
