The Dan Evans Show

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.

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.

Tisha Alyn joins Dan Evans for one of the most honest and wide-ranging conversations we’ve had on the show. From starting golf at 3 years old, to her family moving from Illinois to California for her future in the game, to chasing pro golf with no backup plan, Tisha has always gone all in. In this episode, she opens up about pressure, identity, family sacrifice, coming out in golf, building a career through social media before there was a real blueprint for it, and why she eventually decided to build something even bigger with her own brand. This is a conversation about belief, risk, self-expression, and what it really takes to create your own lane in golf.0:00 Tisha Alyn joins the show0:35 Why golf isn’t really “fun” anymore1:16 Living on airplanes and finally being home2:05 Is balance even possible?3:02 Starting golf at 3 years old3:24 The story of her dad cutting down a golf club4:14 Becoming competitive at a young age4:54 From Rockford to California for golf6:21 The family sacrifice behind her career8:05 When pressure first hit her golf game9:38 Getting humbled in California10:33 Learning to love golf again11:20 Who she was most afraid to let down12:42 Why her siblings didn’t stay in golf13:59 Going pro with total self-belief15:16 Why she was “delusional” enough to try16:07 How social media changed everything18:08 The mindset that always drove her19:23 Handling negativity and self-doubt21:44 The people who keep her grounded22:02 From pro golf grind to social media career23:00 Paige Spiranac’s early encouragement24:13 The post that changed everything24:35 Her first paid golf/content gig25:30 The moment she knew pro golf wasn’t the only path26:16 Why no one could guide her through the pivot28:15 What her family worried about most29:59 Being fully herself in public30:52 Coming out, family, and sponsor support33:01 Why visibility in golf mattered so much34:21 What she’d say to younger Tisha36:14 The years she realized she was really making it37:35 Launching her women’s golf apparel brand39:21 Why she’s never comfortable41:25 What people don’t see about building a business44:22 How the brand idea actually started47:56 Why women’s golf fashion made the most sense48:03 What recharging really looks like49:27 Learning how to be alone50:06 Dating while living in the spotlight
