Scottie Scheffler cruised to his fourth major title on Sunday at Royal Portrush, in the *exact same* timeframe that it took Tiger Woods to win his first four majors. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme discuss Scottie's ascent to the undisputed best player on the planet, examine statistics framing him as the closest thing we've seen to prime Tiger, and hear quotes from Jordan Spieth and Xander Schauffele about Scottie's mindset and intimidation factor. SK and CH briefly look ahead to wonder ... could Scottie complete his career Grand Slam at Shinnecock Hills in 2026 ... on Father's Day ... which also happens to be his 30th birthday??? The script writes itself!

Smylie and Charlie also offer a toast to the 2025 major season, discuss the day that failed to materialize for Rory McIlroy, and Bryson DeChambeau's incredible surge and mental fortitude to play Friday through Sunday at 16-under after shooting 78 on Thursday, while also reading quotes from Wyndham Clark in the wake of recent news about his ban from Oakmont.
