283: Brooks Koepka Leaves LIV + The Best and Worst Golf Moments of 2025

The final Smylie Show of 2025 is here — and there’s a LOT to unpack.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down the biggest golf storylines of the year, starting with the shocking news that Brooks Koepka is leaving LIV Golf, what that means for the league, and how it impacts players like Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm moving forward.

We dive into:

What Brooks’ exit really means
Whether Bryson could eventually leave LIV
How the PGA Tour might handle players returning
The future of LIV Golf as a product
And the ripple effects across professional golf

Then, we close out the year with a fun 2025 Year-in-Review game, debating the biggest moments in golf — from Rory McIlroy's grand slam, to the Internet Invitational, to some hilarious TGL bloopers involving Tiger Woods.

A mix of serious golf analysis, hot takes, and classic Smylie–Charlie banter to close out the year.
