352: "I'm More Proud of the Moments I Didn't Give Up": Tom Kim's 4th Win + Smylie's Week In Tahoe

Fresh off broadcasting the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe, Smylie Kaufman hops in the studio with Charlie Hulme to break down the week in golf before catching a flight overseas for the Open Championship.

SK and CH discuss Tom Kim's emotional win at the Genesis Scottish Open — his fourth PGA Tour title as a 24-year-old, but his first in more than 1,000 days. They dig into what's clicked in Tom's game recently, his horse-for-course status at Renaissance Club, and where he stacks up against the rest of the field heading into the final major championship of 2026.

We get started, though, with a wild week in Tahoe for Smylie - from dinner with Charles Barkley, to his "GOAT" status in TJ Oshie's yearly baseball beer pong game.

Plus - breaking down the end of the fifth-longest made-cut streak in PGA TOUR history, and what that means for Scottie Scheffler in his Open title defense at Royal Birkdale.
