Description: Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme sit down with coaching legend Butch Harmon — the man behind Tiger Woods, Greg Norman, Dustin Johnson, Tommy Fleetwood, and more. Butch shares his take on Scottie Scheffler (he compares him to Jack Nicklaus, not Tiger), breaks down Rory McIlroy's raw talent, and explains what separates the best ball-strikers in the world.The conversation covers the equipment rollback debate, Jose Maria Olazabal's 9-club proposal, coaching Tiger through the 1997–98 swing change, and Dustin Johnson spending 3.5 years learning to hit a fade.Then Charlie launches "Butch Harmon Story Time" — the Corvette on 17 Mile Drive at Cypress Point, caddying at the Alfred Dunhill Links, Tiger threading a driver through a range bay door at Rio Seco, and a live Sky Sports moment Butch will never live down.Subscribe for new episodes every week and follow @thesmylieshow on all socials ⛳️CHAPTERS0:00 Intro0:58 Travelers Championship Recap2:20 Scottie Scheffler & Jack Nicklaus7:15 Butch's Coaching Philosophy12:59 Tommy Fleetwood & the Nine Wood16:25 Equipment & the Rollback Debate21:38 Olazabal's 9-Club Idea23:10 Tiger's Nine Shots26:05 Butch Harmon School of Golf28:46 Story Time with Butch41:20 Tiger at Rio Secco44:27 Coaching Tiger's Swing46:18 DJ Learns to Fade49:00 Tom Watson at Turnberry52:12 Smylie's Swing Analysis#smylieshow #pgatour #golf #tigerwoods #scottiescheffler
