    Aug 28 2025
    Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down Wednesday's announcement of Team USA Ryder Cup captain's picks, starting with the stunning decision made by Keegan Bradley to not pick himself as a playing captain. Smylie and Charlie discuss why Keegan opted to go with Collin Morikawa instead of himself, and whether Rory McIlroy and other Europeans were playing mind games in the lead-up to Keegan's decision.

    SK and CH also dive into potential pairings, and who they would roll out for the Friday foursomes session which will kick off the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.

    Finally, SK and CH wrap the show with some truly mind-boggling Scottie Scheffler stats, and award their "Player of the Year Podium" - the gold is obvious, but who wins silver and bronze for Smylie?

    Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme are joined on the latest episode of The Smylie Show by recurring guest Kyle Porter of "Normal Sport" - check his work out at normalsport.com!

    Kyle, Smylie and Charlie review the biggest storylines a week ahead of Keegan Bradley picking the final six players who will represent Team USA in the 2026 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. Kyle dives deep on season-long trends to identify why the Americans could be underestimated, and lists the six he'd be taking to Bethpage - along with answering whether he'd pick himself to be a player-captain if in Keegan's shoes.

    Smylie and Charlie open the episode reviewing a 2026 PGA TOUR schedule that looks somewhat different from season's past, and look ahead to the 2025 playoff finale at East Lake, making their picks for the eventual TOUR Champion.
