Steph Curry has a new set of golf clubs, and they come with a $5,000 price tag. The show breaks down Curry’s limited-edition Miura irons, why only 300 sets are being made, what makes them different from the standard versions, and why one club in the set is stamped “30” instead of 6. That leads into a bigger equipment debate about whether iron numbers even make sense anymore when lofts vary so much from brand to brand. Then the guys get into Kevin Kisner calling out Rory McIlroy, Rory’s response, and the debate over whether playing international events for appearance money can also be considered “growing the game.” Plus, a full look at the latest TGL changes, Shane Lowry joining Rory in Boston, the new five-player team format, Tiger Woods return speculation, the upcoming women’s TGL season, and a very unnecessary $85 golf purchase from Dan.

Dan Evans finally checked Chicago Golf Club off the bucket list. After years of being asked whether he had ever played one of the most exclusive courses in America, Dan finally got the invitation and experienced Chicago Golf Club firsthand. He breaks down what makes the course so difficult, from thick rough and deceptive bunkering to brutal green complexes and championship-speed putting surfaces. Dan also reveals what he shot and explains why, in the conditions he played it, Chicago Golf Club felt harder than Augusta National. The show also dives into what makes Chicago Golf Club so historically important. Dan talks about the club’s role as one of the founding clubs of the USGA, the story behind the out-of-bounds rule, the no-electronics tradition, the historic clubhouse, and the dedicated train car that once brought golfers directly from Chicago to the club. Plus, the crew gets into Margaret Abbott’s incredible Olympic story, the club’s old equipment history, the Genesis experience that got Dan on property, and why playing Chicago Golf Club felt like stepping back into another era of golf.

The Dan Evans Show is on site at Medinah Country Club during the 2026 Presidents Cup for a conversation with Genesis executive Amy Marentic and a closer look at the new Genesis GV90. Amy talks with Dan about the thinking behind Genesis, how the brand approaches luxury, and why being willing to say yes to ambitious ideas matters when you are trying to build something different. Then the conversation turns to the GV90. Amy explains how some of the vehicle’s most unusual ideas made the jump from concept to production, including its hidden B-pillar, coach doors, front seats that swivel while the vehicle is stationary, built-in refrigerator, cinema mode, electrochromic moonroof, roof airbag, and heated and cooled cupholders. The interview also gets into Amy’s path from aerospace engineering to the automotive industry, her approach to leadership, why she embraces uncomfortable situations, and how Genesis thinks about building a luxury brand without being tied to decades of legacy. 0:00 Amy Marentic joins Dan at Medinah1:13 Genesis at the Presidents Cup1:29 The GV90 arrives at Medinah2:24 Amy’s path from Michigan to Genesis4:22 Why she says yes to things that scare her5:23 “Winners Never Quit”7:16 From aerospace engineering to automotive9:10 The moment her astronaut dream changed10:56 Choosing Ford over Boeing, Lockheed and the Navy12:52 “A ship is safe in the harbor”14:47 “No one’s coming to save us”17:39 Why Amy returned to automotive18:20 What brought her to Genesis19:36 How Genesis anticipates what customers want20:24 The GV90’s hidden B-pillar21:16 “How we win matters”22:44 Balancing data with instinct24:21 Why Amy loves being uncomfortable25:58 Building Genesis without being tied to legacy27:03 The Genesis “Blank Canvas” philosophy28:22 A closer look at the Genesis GV9029:23 How the GV90 made it to production29:57 Swivel seats, refrigerator and cinema mode30:23 The GV90 roof airbag30:52 Inside the GV9031:25 Refrigerator and electrochromic roof32:00 Heated and cooled cupholders32:21 Final thoughts from Medinah

The Dan Evans Show is live from Medinah Country Club for Presidents Cup week. With players already on site and the course being prepared before the crowds arrive, Dan and the crew break down the biggest story surrounding Team USA: Scottie Scheffler is almost unbeatable in normal stroke play, but team golf has been a different challenge. The guys get into Scottie’s 3-5-1 Presidents Cup record, why match play changes the way he has to compete, and how that compares to Justin Thomas at 10-0-2. They also debate whether opponents bring a different level of intensity when they draw Scottie and whether this is finally the week he changes the story. Plus, the crew discusses Team USA’s recent international losses, Jackson Koivun’s opportunity, Geoff Ogilvy’s connection to the Medinah redesign, the brutal four-inch rough, wet course conditions, Medinah’s championship history, and what they are seeing firsthand from inside the property during Presidents Cup week.

The Presidents Cup captain’s picks are officially in, and the debates started immediately. Dan and the crew break down Jackson Koivun making Team USA, why his match-play background makes the pick so interesting, and which players have the strongest case for being left out. Ben Griffin becomes the biggest snub debate, while Jason Day’s injury situation and Geoff Ogilvy’s familiarity with Medinah add even more intrigue to the final rosters. The show also gets into Scottie Scheffler’s Tour Championship win, how much Ted Scott could be earning as his caddie, Scottie’s massive career earnings, Viktor Hovland trying to hold him off, Joe Dean’s comeback at the British Masters, and the rarest score in golf, the condor. 0:00 Presidents Cup captain’s picks are in 0:17 The controversial picks 0:46 Jackson Koivun makes Team USA 1:21 Why Koivun’s match-play history matters 3:40 Does the International Team have a Medinah advantage? 6:12 Nick Taylor gets his redemption 8:36 Why Jason Day was left off 9:31 Was Ben Griffin the biggest snub? 10:40 Other players who missed out 12:29 How long was Koivun on Snedeker’s radar? 13:19 Snedeker’s huge compliment for Koivun 14:59 Scottie Scheffler wins the Tour Championship 17:01 Scottie celebrates with a beer 21:04 Ted Scott’s incredible season 21:29 Could Ted Scott make $5 million this year? 24:13 Skill vs. vibes in a caddie 28:44 How much money has Scottie really made? 35:43 Scottie starts hunting down Viktor Hovland 36:41 Did Hovland lose it or did Scottie win it? 37:19 Hovland explains what makes Scottie so good 50:58 The British Masters 51:36 Joe Dean comes back from seven shots down 52:05 Winning with his wife as his caddie 55:43 Joe Dean’s unusual path to pro golf 1:01:33 Albatross vs. hole-in-one 1:07:40 What exactly is a condor? 1:08:02 How rare are par-6 holes? 1:11:55 The longest hole in America 1:12:30 Should golf courses add more par 6s?

Wyndham Clark won the BMW Championship, but the bigger story may have been the crowd openly rooting against him. Dan and the crew break down why Wyndham has become one of golf’s most polarizing players, whether he is taking over the villain role once held by Bryson DeChambeau, and what Wyndham himself had to say about fans cheering his mistakes. They also debate Wyndham vs. Scottie Scheffler for Player of the Year, react to Gary Woodland’s emotional return to the Tour Championship, break down the Presidents Cup automatic qualifiers, question whether Team USA is better without Bryson, explain the PGA Tour’s new match-play playoff format, and hear an unbelievable first-hole-in-one story on a par 4. 0:00 Wyndham Clark wins the BMW Championship 1:24 Why is Wyndham Clark so hated? 1:57 Is Wyndham becoming the new Bryson? 5:39 Fans openly root against Wyndham 6:47 Why does the BMW winner get two trophies? 10:17 Wyndham enters the Player of the Year debate 12:21 How PGA Tour Player of the Year works 14:50 Wyndham vs. Scottie for Player of the Year 15:29 Comparing their entire seasons 21:29 Rory weighs in on the debate 24:25 Gary Woodland’s incredible week 27:08 Gary Woodland gets emotional after making East Lake 32:55 Rickie Fowler gets bumped out 38:14 Should the FedEx Cup Playoffs move around? 42:10 Presidents Cup automatic qualifiers are locked 42:29 How Presidents Cup qualification works 56:33 Is Team USA worse without Bryson? 57:41 Wyndham addresses fans cheering against him 1:03:43 The future of the PGA Tour 1:05:06 The new FedEx Cup playoff format explained 1:06:04 A March Madness-style golf bracket 1:09:03 An unbelievable hole-in-one story 1:12:05 Taking five wood on a 255-yard par 4 1:16:21 His first-ever hole-in-one 1:16:40 A shirtless 250-yard celebration 1:19:49 Dan tells his own hole-in-one story 1:24:04 Is a par-4 ace the ultimate hole-in-one?

Scottie Scheffler is back in the winner’s circle, and the gap between him and Rory McIlroy has become almost comical. Dan and the crew break down Scottie’s latest win, Rory’s rough week, and the point gap that led to one of the strangest stats of the season: the average person is closer to Rory than Rory is to Scottie. They also get into the rumors surrounding Jon Rahm potentially returning to the PGA Tour, what that could mean for LIV Golf, their dream $10,000 golf splurges, whether 12 holes is enough golf, Dan’s case for making golf 27 holes, and the storm damage hitting courses across the Midwest. 0:00 Scottie Scheffler wins again 0:27 Scottie’s “terrible” season 0:48 The ridiculous finishes from Scottie’s slump 1:37 Ted Scott’s playoff mustache 2:16 The sprinkler incident 4:02 Scottie survives the Memphis heat 5:25 Rory McIlroy’s rough week 8:03 Rory finishes near the bottom 8:36 The Scottie vs. Rory gap keeps growing 9:00 You’re closer to Rory than Rory is to Scottie 10:33 Can anyone stop Scottie in the FedEx Cup? 11:23 Jon Rahm back to the PGA Tour? 11:45 What would Rahm leaving mean for LIV? 13:13 What happens to Anthony Kim? 13:43 The money behind a possible Rahm return 17:10 The $10,000 golf splurge 17:49 Would you buy a country club membership? 18:54 Building the ultimate custom golf setup 20:04 Dan’s dream golf travel setup 23:35 Membership vs. a once-in-a-lifetime golf trip 24:04 St Andrews or Pebble Beach? 52:35 A brand-new 12-hole golf course 53:12 Is 18 holes too much golf? 54:23 The sadness of reaching the 18th hole 55:47 Golf should be 27 holes 57:17 The fix for slow golfers 57:45 Should your handicap determine your tees? 1:00:44 Dan officially proposes 27-hole golf 1:01:09 Midwest storms destroy golf courses 1:08:09 Wicker Park Golf Course gets hammered 1:09:00 A salute to golf course maintenance crews 1:11:52 Are we losing too many golf courses?

Jackson Koivun is only a few starts into his professional career, and he is already matching Tiger Woods. Dan and the crew break down Koivun reaching the FedEx Cup Playoffs in just five starts, what it says about his ceiling, and whether he should already be in the Presidents Cup conversation. They also discuss Michael Brennan’s Wyndham win, Keegan Bradley missing the playoffs, Brooks Koepka calling his season pathetic, the debate over the FedEx Cup format, slow play, Asterisk Talley’s U.S. Women’s Amateur win, LIV Golf’s latest questions, and their picks to win the FedEx Cup.

Si Woo Kim was only trying to meet Michael Kim for Korean barbecue during Rocket Classic week. Instead, one wrong Google Maps selection sent him across the border into Canada without his passport and with no way to turn around. Dan and the crew break down the bizarre detour, Si Woo’s conversation with border officials, and how he still made it to dinner. They also discuss Michael Thorbjornsen’s breakthrough win, the final Rocket Classic in Detroit, Drake’s massive OVO Golf outing, Trey Mullinax’s PGA Tour suspension, Dan turning 40, and a game about what famous golf experiences used to cost.

Jackson Koivun is only 21 years old, but after winning in just his third PGA Tour start, the question is already how high his ceiling can go. Dan and the crew break down Koivun’s dominant first victory, his unbelievable Auburn résumé, whether he would already be a top-10 pick to win the most majors over the next decade, and whether he should make the Presidents Cup team. They also discuss Ted Scott leaving for the airport before Koivun finished, the latest LIV Golf cancellation rumors, Lucas Glover taking off his shoes on the green, Bryson DeChambeau nearly hitting Ian Poulter, Jerry Kelly’s senior major win, and the show’s latest scramble round.

The biggest story coming out of The Open was not Ryan Fox lifting the Claret Jug. It was Bryson DeChambeau’s two-stroke penalty, the Rory McIlroy comments that followed, and the bigger question of whether golf’s rules make any sense in moments like this. Dan and the crew dig into the penalty itself, whether Bryson actually improved his lie, why Rory’s reaction added fuel to the fire, and how the whole tournament ended up becoming a Bryson story. They also get into Ryan Fox’s win, Cameron Young’s heartbreak, Kevin Kisner’s broadcast rise, and more.

Dan Evans at The British Open: Liverpool Chaos, Royal Birkdale, and Open Week Dan Evans checks in from Liverpool during British Open week after spending the day at Royal Birkdale. This episode is part travel diary, part major-championship preview, and part golf chaos report. Dan gets into what it’s actually like being on the ground at The Open, from driving on the wrong side of the road and trying “American pizza” in Liverpool to fish and chips at the course, the absurd merch line, the European Cobra truck, how tour pros actually swap clubs for links golf, Brooke Henderson’s wild eagle record, and the early picks heading into the week. 0:00 Dan checks in from Liverpool for The British Open 0:49 Why the end of major season still feels weird 1:14 Driving on the wrong side of the road in England 4:29 I tried “American pizza” in Liverpool 6:41 Wearing U.S. Open gear to The Open 9:21 Why 81 degrees feels like a heat wave here 12:44 Double-decker bus strategy 14:17 Fish and chips at Royal Birkdale 17:02 The Open merch line was insane 18:08 What Dan bought at the course 24:31 Inside Cobra’s European tour truck 26:37 How tour pros actually swap clubs for links golf 29:21 Brooke Henderson’s insane eagle record 33:13 Pub plans and Liverpool atmosphere 34:13 Early British Open picks 34:41 Brandel Chamblee’s Grant Horvat line 37:03 The wild Royal Birkdale clubhouse story 43:09 Mushy peas and other British food adventures 44:17 Jon Rahm sighting and day-two plans

Celebrities at the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe pick whose golf swing they'd steal — nobody says Scottie Scheffler. Recorded inside the ropes at Edgewood Tahoe, this on-location episode covers the Swing Draft results, the mallet putter takeover, TJ Oshie's yips story, and what the stars' private clubs cost to join. In this episode: - The Swing Draft: Adam Scott and Rory McIlroy tie at the top; Derek Lowe's pick stuns - Putter census: mallets rout blades, five to two - TJ Oshie on the yips that started at this tournament — and the cure - Home clubs and reported initiation fees, Bel-Air to Virginia CC - The case for adding Champions tour legends to the field

Scottie Scheffler made over $15M this year with just one win — and lost the Travelers Championship playoff to Viktor Hovland anyway. We unpack how that math works and why nobody's satisfied. The guys cover Hovland's Monday-morning playoff, Scottie's missed short putt, the PGA Tour's new Championship/Challenger relegation structure, Rory McIlroy skipping signature events without penalty, LIV players returning via the DP World Tour, and Bryson DeChambeau's honest talk about missing every major cut.

Jason Day joins Dan Evans for a conversation about the way he sees golf, studies golf, and still chases understanding in the game after all these years. From growing up in Australia and building a career that took him to World No. 1, to life in Ohio, his backyard practice setup, and the curiosity that still drives him, Day opens up about learning, pressure, family, Jordan Spieth, his early pro years, and why even now there are situations outside golf that still make him nervous.
