Sepp Straka Wins the AmEx + Rory McIlroy’s Comments On Potential LIV Departure

Sepp Straka Wins the AmEx + Rory McIlroy’s Comments On Potential LIV Departure

Welcome back ... to the Smylie Show! Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme cover a wide range of topics this week - from Sepp Straka's win at the American Express, to comments Rory McIlroy made about a protege of his potentially departing for LIV Golf, to the incredibly short-lived TikTok ban.

Sepp's win marked just one of a number of interesting storylines coming out of La Quinta, including the continued resurgence of Justin Thomas' game, and some notable pace of play issues on Sunday with a series of changes on the PGA TOUR looming in 2026. On the DP World Tour, a week that began with Rory outlining the conversations he had with Tom McKibbin ahead of a reported move to LIV ended with a LIV player, Tyrrell Hatton, hoisting a trophy at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.

All that + some live (at the time) NFL Playoff commentary, and yet another Sicko Gear Tinkerers report.

Highlights:

- Sepp Straka’s win at the American Express

- Justin Thomas’ performance

- Blades Brown swing analysis

- One-and-Done picks

U.S. Open Daily Journal: Rickie Fowler's week, LACC conditions, and Wyndham Clark's first major win

U.S. Open Daily Journal: Rickie Fowler's week, LACC conditions, and Wyndham Clark's first major win

While on-site at Los Angeles Country Club walking with a new group every day for the 123rd U.S. Open, Smylie Kaufman checks in each night to "journal" his thoughts with Charlie Hulme - culminating with Wyndham Clark's first major victory. On Thursday, Smylie and Charlie discuss the record-setting 62s that both Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele shot to open the tournament, and whether that was cause for concern about LACC's suitability as a U.S. Open venue. On Friday, Smylie and Charlie discuss the changed weather conditions that led to less low scoring, and the razor thin difference between birdie and bogey at LACC. On Saturday, Smylie and Charlie discuss a moving day without a lot of movement, and the type of approach that players at the top of the leaderboard need to bring into Sunday if they want to win a major. On Sunday, Smylie and Charlie recap Wyndham Clark's convincing win over a leaderboard full of experience and major winners, and talk about the way Rickie Fowler handled losing with grace and class.
