275: From PGA Tour Americas heartbreak to PGA Tour win: Michael Brennan on his journey to victory in Utah

Smylie Kaufman catches up with newly-minted PGA TOUR winner (and card recipient!) Michael Brennan about the whirlwind since his Bank of Utah Championship win: a week off to reset, the celebration at River Creek in Leesburg, and how a painful late collapse in Canada shaped his Sunday mindset in Utah.

Michael also breaks down the training he did to reach 135 mph of clubhead speed, the detailed tracking app he uses to strategize at golf courses he's never played before, and tells a wild near-abduction story while traveling to a PGA TOUR Americas event.

This is a must-watch for anyone chasing the dream — from junior golfers to aspiring pros.

The Smylie Bump continues + Cleeks vs Wild Cards???

Fresh off the course at PGA National and on the road to Bay Hill for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Smylie Kaufman throws in some earbuds to recap the Cognizant Classic with Charlie Hulme. Smylie walked with the latest first-time winner on the PGA Tour - Austin Eckroat - as he finished his final round, and gives some insight into the potential Eckroat has to become a star. While the "Smylie Bump" did not propel Shane Lowry to victory, SK and CH discuss whether his fourth-place finish following Jake Knapp's win should be a recruiting tool to get more Tour pros on the pod. Finally, in recapping Anthony Kim's debut on LIV, Charlie declares his allegiance to the "Wild Cards" as Smylie attempts to recruit AK to the Cleeks.
