Episode description
Smylie Kaufman welcomes Ben Griffin to the show in the midst of a breakout 2025 that’s seen Ben win twice and vault himself into contention for the USA Ryder Cup team.
Smylie follows Ben’s journey from side hustling as a DJ at UNC, to giving up golf for a loan officer job, to this year’s rise to the upper echelon of the PGA TOUR. We also take a look at the Carolina blue Schwab Defender that Ben won at Colonial, and hear Ben’s thoughts on what a stern test Oakmont will pose for the U.S. Open having just played the course.
