The Smylie Show

With the first major of 2026 in the books, there was no slowing down the golf news cycle - a PGA TOUR signature event, some wild reporting about the long-term existence of LIV Golf, and a potential Smylie comeback?? (Watch more on that here: https://youtu.be/jAWJYvOg1F4)
Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme discuss all the news of the week, starting with Matt Fitzpatrick's playoff win over Scottie Scheffler, and followed by an in-depth discussion about reports on LIV's imminent closure, why the PIF has changed its investment strategy, and what the future could look like for players in the league.

Spoiler alert ... he is not.
But instead of imagining what it would be like if he did, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme are joined by Ryan Gerard to break down the sequence of events that led to Ryan texting Smylie a "soft invite" to play with him in the Zurich Classic, plus - what the week would have looked like if Ryan and Smylie played together.
And we close with a tantalizing possibility ... could we see a Gerard/Kaufman pairing at the 2027 Zurich Classic???
