Smylie Kaufman joins the show fresh off a wild week at the WM Phoenix Open that saw him sprinting to the 16th hole at 6:30 am on Saturday, then calling shots at the par three later that day alongside Kevin Kisner. Smylie and Charlie Hulme discuss all of that, plus concerns stemming from several player/fan incidents that boiled over at the traditionally rowdy event. SK also details his Sunday walk alongside Scottie Scheffler, and how stunning the OWGR No. 1's display of talent was despite finishing tied for third.

After the final putt dropped in the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge, Gil Hanse and his team began an ambitious project: a "historical restoration" of Colonial Country Club to prepare it in time for the 2024 playing of the tournament. Smylie Kaufman is joined by both Gil, and four-time PGA Tour winner + Colonial member Ryan Palmer to discuss all of the changes made to return the course to its more rugged and natural roots with the 1941 U.S. Open as a reference point. Smylie and Charlie Hulme then conclude the show with their one-and-done picks for the tourney.

In addition to photos provided by Gil, our YouTube episode features footage gathered by the @PGATOUR and @FriedEggGolf from two awesome videos worth watching to prepare for the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge. You can find those videos here:
