367: BMW Championship Recap: Wyndham Clark or Scottie Scheffler For Player of the Year?

BMW Championship Recap: Wyndham Clark or Scottie Scheffler For Player of the Year? Smylie Kaufman heads straight from the airport (with an update to his airlines Big Board!) to the studio to join Charlie Hulme for a recap of the BMW Championship, where he broadcasted the action from Bellerive Country Club all week long. Smylie and Charlie discuss Wyndham Clark's third win of the 2026 season, and where that places him in an increasingly interesting Player of the Year race that also includes Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young, Matt Fitzpatrick and Chris Gotterup.SK and CH also recap a disappointing ending - but a much improved week - for Rory McIlroy. A discussion about a "flat cat" putting grip that Rory has been using as a training aid leads to a conversation about the most unique aids that Smylie has seen while playing on Tour.Also in this episode: Smylie puts together his most likely Presidents Cup team with six USA players now automatically qualified, and Scottie's week dealing with hand, foot and mouth - a familiar experience for fathers of young children.Don't forget to like, comment, subscribe, and follow us on socials @thesmylieshow!Chapters0:00 Intro: late-night taping & two dad topics2:19 Smylie's dad-neck injury6:22 Movie review: Smylie watches The Odyssey10:48 Scottie Scheffler's hand, foot and mouth battle at Bellerive16:54 Wyndham Clark wins the BMW Championship over Rory McIlroy21:33 Rory's "flat cat" putter grip + training aids on Tour28:30 Player of the Year race: Scheffler vs. Wyndham Clark?39:15 FedEx Cup playoff points cut & this year's muted bubble drama44:32 Should the Tour Championship go to match play?53:39 Bellerive, St. Louis & should host cities rotate?59:56 Presidents Cup team predictions: Smylie's 6 picks1:05:54 Presidents Cup: youth development & the Ryder Cup comparison1:13:39 Airlines Big Board: Southwest Airlines review1:19:02 Charlie's putter update: the blade movement returns1:20:46 Sign-off: tennis racket meltdown, Tree of the Week & Tommy Fleetwood next week#golf #pgatour #BMW #WyndhamClark #ScottieScheffler #SmylieKaufman #golfhighlights #golfrecap
