Golf Channel analyst and former PGA Tour winner Arron Oberholser joins Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme to swap incredible Tour stories, break down Scottie Scheffler's current swing, and preview the upcoming U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills.

Arron tells the unbelievable story of winning a tournament after bending his putter and using a wedge on the greens, shares old-school short game techniques that today's players rarely use, explains why Scottie's iron play may not be quite as sharp as we're accustomed to seeing, and gives his thoughts on who could surprise at the next major championship.

Plus: California golf memories, equipment stories, Ryder Cup debates, and more!

With 33 holes played already on Sunday at Muirfield Village, it took J.T. Poston two more to emerge victorious, punching his ticket to Shinnecock Hills (and avoiding another 36 holes on Golf’s Longest Day) in the process. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap the week at Memorial, and Poston’s journey back to the winner’s circle.

Smylie was on-site at Jack’s Place and gives his perspective on how Poston found something special with his ball striking and putter, why Ryan Gerard’s putting turnaround is elevating his ceiling, and how brutal Muirfield Village played before the weekend rain softened the golf course.

The guys also discuss Scottie Scheffler’s viral frustration at the 16th hole, Wyndham Clark’s form heading toward the U.S. Open, Golf’s Longest Day, Nelly Korda’s first U.S. Women’s Open win at Riviera, the future of mixed men’s/women’s golf events, and the latest LIV Golf reporting.

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. They break down why an unusual weather week in Dallas - with soft conditions and no wind - still kept the course vulnerable to low scoring.

Smylie and Charlie also dive into Blades Brown earning PGA TOUR Special Temporary Membership, the pros and cons of chasing Korn Ferry Tour status versus PGA TOUR starts, Bryson DeChambeau’s comments about possibly choosing content creation over professional golf, and the latest reports that LIV Golf is pitching a reduced 10-event international schedule while seeking new investment.
