349: Chris Gotterup Wins His THIRD Event This Season + Jon Rahm In The Scottish Open
About this episode
The episode discusses Chris Gotterup's impressive win at the John Deere Classic and various updates in the golf world, including player performances and tour restructuring.
Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme are back from a very #America250 Fourth of July weekend to break down a wild finish at the John Deere Classic, as Chris Gotterup's Sunday 62 was good enough to earn a THIRD win on the PGA TOUR this season. They dig into Gotterup's remarkable year (four wins in the last 365 days, matched only by Scottie Scheffler), his Rutgers-to-Oklahoma journey, and why he might be the most well-rounded young American on tour. Plus: Max Homa's solo-second week with new caddie John Ellis, what the 2028 Championship Series/Challenger Series restructuring means for events like John Deere, Rory McIlroy's 15-event exemption situation, a loaded Scottish Open field with some LIV Golf headliners in Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton, and the debate around golf content creators skipping the mini-tour grind. Before all that: Smylie's neck gives out mid-round playing with Steven Spieth, and Charlie discovers the secret to fixing his golf game — playing with 12 clubs.
