The Smylie Show

Tiger Woods vs Scottie Scheffler + Swag Golf's Nick Venson


Listen Later

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme are back on a mid-December Smylie Show with a triple feature: the Tiger Woods vs Scottie Scheffler debate, an interview with the founder and CEO of Swag Golf, Nick Venson ... and, of course, more commentary on UNC's shock hiring of Bill Belichick as their next head football coach.

We begin the show with Charlie sporting a Drake Maye jersey and firing off some Tar Heel homer takes, only to have his enthusiasm dampened by noted LSU Tiger Smylie. When the golf talk finally begins, it is Scottie Scheffler's ninth win of 2024 at the Hero World Challenge that revived some hot-take comparisons online to Tiger Woods' best seasons. In particular, SK and CH take a look at Tiger in 2000 and Vijay Singh in 2004 in comparison to Scottie in 2024.

The second half of the show features Smylie's conversation with Nick Venson, the founder and CEO of Swag Golf. Nick charts his fascinating journey from a kid who collected Scotty Cameron putters, to producing a special line of headcovers for the USA Ryder Cup team, to now making his own Swag putters via an innovative process.
