Si Woo Kim was only trying to meet Michael Kim for Korean barbecue during Rocket Classic week. Instead, one wrong Google Maps selection sent him across the border into Canada without his passport and with no way to turn around.

Dan and the crew break down the bizarre detour, Si Woo’s conversation with border officials, and how he still made it to dinner. They also discuss Michael Thorbjornsen’s breakthrough win, the final Rocket Classic in Detroit, Drake’s massive OVO Golf outing, Trey Mullinax’s PGA Tour suspension, Dan turning 40, and a game about what famous golf experiences used to cost.

Jackson Koivun is only 21 years old, but after winning in just his third PGA Tour start, the question is already how high his ceiling can go.

Dan and the crew break down Koivun’s dominant first victory, his unbelievable Auburn résumé, whether he would already be a top-10 pick to win the most majors over the next decade, and whether he should make the Presidents Cup team. They also discuss Ted Scott leaving for the airport before Koivun finished, the latest LIV Golf cancellation rumors, Lucas Glover taking off his shoes on the green, Bryson DeChambeau nearly hitting Ian Poulter, Jerry Kelly’s senior major win, and the show’s latest scramble round.

The biggest story coming out of The Open was not Ryan Fox lifting the Claret Jug. It was Bryson DeChambeau’s two-stroke penalty, the Rory McIlroy comments that followed, and the bigger question of whether golf’s rules make any sense in moments like this. Dan and the crew dig into the penalty itself, whether Bryson actually improved his lie, why Rory’s reaction added fuel to the fire, and how the whole tournament ended up becoming a Bryson story. They also get into Ryan Fox’s win, Cameron Young’s heartbreak, Kevin Kisner’s broadcast rise, and more.

Celebrities at the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe pick whose golf swing they'd steal — nobody says Scottie Scheffler. Recorded inside the ropes at Edgewood Tahoe, this on-location episode covers the Swing Draft results, the mallet putter takeover, TJ Oshie's yips story, and what the stars' private clubs cost to join.

In this episode:

- The Swing Draft: Adam Scott and Rory McIlroy tie at the top; Derek Lowe's pick stuns

- Putter census: mallets rout blades, five to two

- TJ Oshie on the yips that started at this tournament — and the cure

- Home clubs and reported initiation fees, Bel-Air to Virginia CC

- The case for adding Champions tour legends to the field

Scottie Scheffler made over $15M this year with just one win — and lost the Travelers Championship playoff to Viktor Hovland anyway. We unpack how that math works and why nobody's satisfied.

The guys cover Hovland's Monday-morning playoff, Scottie's missed short putt, the PGA Tour's new Championship/Challenger relegation structure, Rory McIlroy skipping signature events without penalty, LIV players returning via the DP World Tour, and Bryson DeChambeau's honest talk about missing every major cut.

Jason Day joins Dan Evans for a conversation about the way he sees golf, studies golf, and still chases understanding in the game after all these years. From growing up in Australia and building a career that took him to World No. 1, to life in Ohio, his backyard practice setup, and the curiosity that still drives him, Day opens up about learning, pressure, family, Jordan Spieth, his early pro years, and why even now there are situations outside golf that still make him nervous.
