The Smylie Show

We have a tasty Dude Perfect sandwich for you! (which makes the RBC Heritage preview the buns? I dunno). Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme begin by moving from a thrilling Masters week to a preview of the next stop on the PGA TOUR calendar, the signature event at Harbour Town Golf Links. SK then catches up with Tyler Toney and Garrett Hilbert of Dude Perfect, who were in Augusta to watch the first major of 2024. Finally, Smylie and Charlie make their much anticipated one-and-done picks while riding a five-for-their-last-eight heater (although they are officially out of Scottie Scheffler usages).

The 2024 Masters is officially in the books, Scottie Scheffler notches his third win in four starts, and most importantly, the one-and-done heater is alive and well as SK's pick means The Smylie Show has now correctly chosen five of the last eight event winners. Smylie Kaufman, Charlie Hulme, and Larry the Gnome go through a timeline of the action at the year's first major, and wonder if Ludvig Aberg will become the foil to Scottie that pro golf so desperately needs. After a well-deserved pizza break, Smylie and Charlie return to draft teams of the best players who haven't won a major.

After an incredibly entertaining end to Saturday's play at the 2024 Masters, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme announce some HUGE breaking news about a new addition to the show (editor's note: it is both literally and figuratively not huge). Smylie & Charlie break down the all the storylines setting up for a thrilling Masters Sunday, starting at the top with 54-hole leader Scottie Scheffler, and working through the rest of a stacked leaderboard including Collin Morikawa, Max Homa, Ludvig Aberg, Bryson DeChambeau, and Xander Schauffele. Finally, SK & CH end the show with a big surprise! (editor's note: literally)

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down all the action from Friday at the 2024 Masters - but first, they discuss two separate fast food runs made after the recording of the Thursday journal. Day two at Augusta National featured some of the most challenging conditions we've seen at a major championship in a long while, and SK & CH talk about how impressive the rounds of Max Homa, Scottie Scheffler, and Bryson DeChambeau were to stay tied for the lead at six-under. Tiger Woods made history with his 24th consecutive made cut at the Masters, and Smylie and Charlie break down how impressive his performance was, while also discussing whether he has a shot to win this weekend.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down all the action from Thursday at the 2024 Masters. Bryson DeChambeau jumps out to an early lead with a 7-under 65, but lurking a shot back is Smylie's one-and-done pick, Scottie Scheffler. Tiger Woods is off to a strong start, but has 23 holes to play on Friday before the cut. SK & CH listen to an intriguing piece of sound from Wyndham Clark discussing LIV and the 54 holes remaining in the tournament.

Fresh off the course at PGA National and on the road to Bay Hill for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Smylie Kaufman throws in some earbuds to recap the Cognizant Classic with Charlie Hulme. Smylie walked with the latest first-time winner on the PGA Tour - Austin Eckroat - as he finished his final round, and gives some insight into the potential Eckroat has to become a star. While the "Smylie Bump" did not propel Shane Lowry to victory, SK and CH discuss whether his fourth-place finish following Jake Knapp's win should be a recruiting tool to get more Tour pros on the pod. Finally, in recapping Anthony Kim's debut on LIV, Charlie declares his allegiance to the "Wild Cards" as Smylie attempts to recruit AK to the Cleeks.
