On Episode 396 of the Chasing Daylight Podcast, Matt, Joe, Jeremy, and Dan dig into the latest developments surrounding Callaway and Good Good, including reported personnel changes, the reaction across golf social media, and whether the online outrage actually reflects what everyday golfers think. Matt also gives his perspective while making one thing very clear: he works for Callaway, but his opinions on the podcast are his own. 

Then there are the LIV Golf rumors. The guys react to speculation about financial trouble, bankruptcy, and the idea of players potentially being compensated with equity in a future version of LIV. 

Also on the show: Scottie Scheffler's win at East Lake and the Player of the Year debate, the latest Presidents Cup captain's picks, questionable MyGolfSpy wedge rankings, escalating Las Vegas golf prices, the current condition of Coyote Springs, and a look at the YouTube Golf Tournament episode filmed at Rams Hill.

And, as usual, the live chat takes the show in a few directions nobody planned.

TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE:
- Callaway and Good Good fallout continues
- Personnel changes following the Good Good controversy
- Is social media exaggerating the Callaway backlash?
- LIV Golf bankruptcy and player-equity rumors
- MyGolfSpy's 2026 wedge rankings
- Scottie Scheffler wins at East Lake
- Player of the Year debate
- Coyote Springs course-condition report
- Shadow Creek and Wynn golf pricing
- Presidents Cup picks and Team USA apparel

They dive deep into their revolutionary new putter shaft, the XG1, which allows golfers to quickly swap out grips and handles without ever having to change the putter head. Whether you are a club fitter or a gear tinkerer, you won't want to miss this conversation about prioritizing feel and unlocking your best putting stroke. 

Episode Highlights:

• Jackson and Mike's backgrounds in golf instruction, club fitting, and mechanical engineering. 
• The origin story of how Xchange Golf was sparked by a 10-year-old idea about the costs and risks of regripping a putter. 
• The process of taking prototypes from 3D printing to full USGA compliance. 
• The critical importance of "feel" and visual comfort when standing over a putt. 
• How the quick-change grip system solves major pain points in the putter fitting process. 
• Addressing the skeptics: why the XG1 maintains swing weight and why you won't feel the joint in the shaft. 
• A breakdown of Xchange Golf's pricing, including the Discovery and Ultimate Discovery Packs

If you've ever wanted a dedicated platform just to nerd out about golf courses, Grassy is exactly what you've been looking for. Jacob breaks down how he built this iOS-exclusive social platform to help golfers track their travels, rank their favorite courses, and build their ultimate bucket lists.

In this episode, we cover:

• What is Grassy? Think of it like a restaurant review app or "Letterboxd," but specifically curated for golfers to share course photos and reviews.
• The Origin Story: Jacob explains how he developed the first version of the app in less than three weeks out of a coffee shop.
• App Features vs. On-Course Tracking: We discuss why Grassy focuses on the off-course social and discovery experience rather than competing with live GPS trackers like 18Birdies.
• Future Updates: We brainstorm some new features live on the show, from adding a Chasing Daylight group ranking page to a "Pokedex" for golf courses and AI caddy recommendations.

The boys also dive into the biggest stories in golf, debating Anthony Kim’s return to professional golf. While it’s a feel-good story, is it really the "greatest comeback ever" compared to Hogan or Tiger?. Plus, we break down the action at Pebble Beach, Scottie Scheffler’s Sunday charge, and the electric crowds at LIV Adelaide.

We also host a live giveaway for a spot in the sold-out Birdie Gang Invitational in Las Vegas, roast anyone under 50 wearing Skechers, and geek out over Quantum drivers and vintage Adams irons.

In this episode:

• Matt’s Medical Adventure: Hallucinations, hospital roommates, and the road to recovery.
• The AK Debate: Why Anthony Kim’s return is amazing, but maybe not the G.O.A.T. comeback.
• Vegas Golf: Hype for the Birdie Gang Invitational and the "Whatnot" crew.
• Gear Talk: Why everyone is suddenly switching to Quantum drivers, and the nostalgia of Adams Tour heads.

• 18-year-old phenom Blades Brown impresses the crew.

This week, the boys are breaking down the biggest equipment news of early 2026. Matt brings the heat with an exclusive in-hand look at the new Callaway Quantum driver lineup. We dive deep into the tech, including the new "polymesh" material, the 14% thinner face, and the unique weighting system that is changing the game. Is it actually better than the Ai Smoke? Matt shares his personal fitting numbers and ball speed gains to prove it.

In this episode:

• The PGA Show Report: Roars is on the ground in Orlando, and the verdict is in—attendance is down, and the show floor feels different this year.
• Callaway Quantum Reveal: A full breakdown of the Quantum Max, Max D, and the Triple Diamond. Plus, we look at the new adjustable lie angles on fairway woods and the new Opus Max irons.

The guys dive immediately into the biggest news in golf: Brooks Koepka is officially back on the PGA Tour. We break down the strategic timing, the specific parameters that allowed his return (and seemingly excluded Phil Mickelson), and what this means for Bryson DeChambeau, Cam Smith, and the future sustainability of LIV Golf.

Later, the conversation shifts to "Experiential Golf." Mike and the guys discuss why difficult-to-reach courses like Landman, Dismal River, and Gamble Sands are worth the journey. We debate if the hype is real, the logistics of booking tee times, and why the "hang" is just as important as the golf.

In this episode, we cover:

• The Return of Brooks: Analyzing Brooks' statement, the financial penalties, and why the PGA Tour needs Bryson back next.
• LIV Golf Status: Is the league on the verge of folding, or will it evolve into something else?.
• Game Time: Matt hosts a round of "LIV Golfer or Southern Nevada Amateur?".
• Matt's Road to Recovery: Matt announces his official date for total knee replacement surgery and his goal to be ready for the team trip to Landman.
• Scotty Cameron Pilgrimage: Jeremy recaps his first-ever trip to the Scotty Cameron Gallery in Encinitas and the process of buying a Circle T.
• Wisconsin Lore: A strange detour into Green Bay fandom, cheese, and Wisconsin’s surprisingly dark true crime history.
• Course Reviews: Thoughts on Coyote Springs (and the Bob Does Sports episode), Prairie Club, and Sand Valley.

Gear lovers get plenty to chew on. Callaway refreshed the Chrome Soft family and teased the Quantum driver, with materials and cover tech designed to add speed without sacrificing feel. We talk about where gains might come from, how fitters will test the claims, and why early-access fittings at private clubs can be a cheat code for smarter buying. Then we press into the TGL problem: elite players, clever tech, but buried time slots and an audience left guessing. Our fix is simple—put it on Golf Channel in prime hours, replay it smartly, and partner with OEMs to explain equipment choices in real time so the product tells a story the average golfer can follow.

The heart of the show is a fog-drenched round at Paiute that reminded us why we play. With visibility down, we moved up a tee box, hit more short irons, tightened dispersion, and tied a personal best. It wasn’t about ego; it was about making the course fit the day and the body. That theme rolls straight into putting: a quick posture reset led to a shorter putter and a better stroke. If you can’t reach a studio, grab a roll-out mat, a mirror, and a yardstick to lock in start line and face control. For newer golfers, we lay out a sane gear path—shop quality used sets or get a fit, and if you’re slicing, buy one lesson and actually do the work.

We finish by spotlighting the LPGA at Shadow Creek, a full-field event at a bucket-list course that most fans will never step on. That’s how you build intrigue the right way. The West Coast swing is loading—Sony, AmEx, Farmers, Phoenix, Pebble, Genesis—and we’ll be ready with takes, gear notes, and more community wins.

If this mix of real-world golf, gear honesty, and smarter practice vibes with you, tap follow, share the show with a golf buddy, and drop a review. Your support helps us grow the community and bring you more fittings, giveaways, and deep-dive episodes all season long.

The guys dive deep into the massive rumors surrounding Brooks Koepka potentially leaving LIV Golf, the financial hurdles of a $100 million sign-on bonus, and what it could mean for the PGA Tour. They also discuss the recent retirements of Mito Pereira and Henrik Stenson, questioning if the "generational wealth" of LIV is losing its luster compared to playing in front of real crowds. 

On a more personal note, Matt reveals the results of his MRI: it turns out he’s been playing with a "massive" Baker’s cyst and a knee that is officially "bone-to-bone." He shares the plan for a full knee replacement and his goal to be back on the course in under three months—hopefully with a "Japanese forged" bionic knee. 

Also in this episode:

• New Gear Talk: Early impressions of the Callaway Quantum and TaylorMade Qi10 drivers. 
• The Heartland Tournament: What we know (and don't know) about the Landmand qualifying lottery and representing your state. 
• Holiday Wishlists: From new rangefinders to "non-poor people" Vanquish shafts.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• The Truth About AimPoint: Preston explains why AimPoint is suitable for beginners and high-handicappers, not just pros. He also debunks the myth that AimPoint slows the game, noting that a proper read should take only about 10 to 12 seconds.
• Green Books vs. Feel: While Green Books are great for approach shots, Preston explains why relying on them solely for putting can be tricky due to angle variations
• The "Zero Torque" Debate: Do you actually need a Zero Torque putter? Preston reveals that while they help some, they can hurt players who rely on torque for feel in transition.
• How to Buy a Putter: Don't just grab what's popular. Preston shares a drill that uses a quarter or a dime to test start lines in the store before you drop hundreds of dollars.
• Blade vs. Mallet: Why "cavity back" putters might be hiding your mistakes and why some pros are sticking to blades for better feedback.
• The "Base Stroke" System: Understanding how to regulate stroke size and tempo so you stop guessing how hard to hit the ball
• Matt’s Lesson: Preston diagnoses Matt’s "long follow-through" as a symptom of a short backswing and fixes his setup by adjusting his forward bend to improve structural stability.

Quotes from the Show:

• "If you can't control the face on a three-mile-an-hour club head speed swing, it's not the putter." - Matt 
• "I’m a proponent of any tool that allows players to better understand what’s getting ready to happen to their golf ball." - Preston Combs 
• "It looks like you're trying to hit that eight iron 160 yards." - Preston on forcing a putting stroke.

The conversation then shifts to bucket list golf, as the guys reminisce about the Bandon Dunes Solstice—walking 85 holes in a single day—and debate which course at Las Vegas’s Paiute Golf Resort offers the "dopest experience" for first-timers.

In this episode:

• The Preston Combs Experience: Matt breaks down his lesson, utilizing Vertex Golf technology to analyze tempo and why he is switching to a 33-inch putter.
• The "Cruising" Stroke: Why you shouldn't push through to the finish like Ace Ventura sliding into a parking spot.
• Course Talk: A breakdown of the Snow, Sun, and Wolf courses at Paiute, plus news about a new King Collins course coming to Kohler.

In this week’s gear talk, Matt drops some insider intel on the new Callaway driver (rumored to be the "Quantum") that just hit the USGA conforming list. We break down the new gloss finish, the face technology, and why internet commenters are already wrong about it. We also get deep into putter customization, discussing everything from Goodwood auctions to the debate over whether Zero Torque putters are actually worth the money.

On the Tour side, we tackle the rumors of the PGA Tour shrinking to a 20-event schedule. Is it a smart business move, or does it screw over the next generation of talent on the Korn Ferry Tour?. Plus, we celebrate the incredible success of the Fore Hadley charity auction, which raised over $110,000 for families in need.

In this episode:

• The "Quantum" Leak: First impressions of the new Callaway driver and why you shouldn't judge it by the black-and-white USGA photos.
• Fitting Advice: Why scheduling a club fitting after playing 18 holes is a recipe for disaster.
• Tour Talk: The pros and cons of a shortened PGA Tour season and the entitlement of the modern tour pro.
• Gear Talk: Garson grips, the "Zero Torque" debate, and shoutouts to custom putter makers like Goodwood and Embrace.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• The Whatnot Golf Selling Playbook and building trust with buyers
• Our review of the massive Garsen Grips Haul (Max, Quad Tour, Miura special runs).
• The heated Course Beverage Rules and "Turn Shack" debate.
• Why Simulators are winning against Topgolf.
• Jeremy's first loop at the Las Vegas Country Club and the new Vegas course ratings tool, coming soon!

This week brings a different kind of haul: a Whatnot Black Friday preview and a huge shipment of Garson grips. We walk through Odyssey-labeled Max models, Quad Tour tapered and non-tapered, and special runs tied to Miura and national colors. We also discuss selling the right way—respecting buyers, curating honestly, and building trust over time instead of shaming bids. If you’re a golf seller on Whatnot, this segment is your playbook.

Next up: course beverage rules, rising prices, and why a staffed turn shack solves so many headaches. We talk about cooler etiquette, morning coffee, and how to balance a club’s margins with a player’s experience. The vibe stays practical—don’t bring a bar, but don’t punish a water bottle when the window’s dark. Plus: Thanksgiving plans, Paiute’s reliable conditions, and the wildlife that keeps rounds unforgettable—bighorn sheep, bald eagles, and the occasional snake that changes your club selection.

We also spotlight the Fore Hadley charity auction, breaking records with stay-and-plays and even a goat-caddie experience in Oregon. Gear nostalgia pops with hickory putters and persimmon woods, which tees up a candid take on Callaway stepping back from Topgolf. Simulators are winning on price, practice value, and weatherproof play. We explore how range-tainment could evolve—think mapped tee shots, chipping stations, and real putting—to keep social golf fun without losing golfers to the course the moment they’re hooked.

And yes, Vegas golf stays close to our hearts. A first loop at Las Vegas Country Club delivers tree-lined fairways, skyline shots, and a chill members’ vibe worth chasing. We’re rolling out a listener-powered Vegas ratings tool so you can rank only the courses you’ve played and see how the crowd stacks them up. Want more of this energy?

We also pull back the curtain on gear: how a 70g graphite iron shaft unlocked higher launch and softer landings, why speed-only fittings miss the point, and what tools to buy first if you’re getting into club building at home.

A bruiser turned into a pillow, and Europe didn’t waste it. We open with the shock of Bethpage Black playing soft—rough that let balls sit up, greens that spun back, and a setup that felt more like a putting contest than a pressure cooker. From there, we tackle the uncomfortable stuff: how phones, alcohol, and corporate suites warped the fan energy, why chants felt manufactured, and how a legacy event drifts when the experience stops rewarding real support.

The meat of the show is team golf. We dig into Europe’s quiet edge—more reps on the course, smarter pairings, a captain who set a steady tone—and contrast it with the U.S. tendency to rely on talent and hope singles bail them out. You’ll hear where pairings broke (elite ball-striker plus cold putter is a losing recipe), how complementary skills win foursomes and four-ball, and why Luke Donald’s plan looked seamless while Keegan Bradley’s debut showed gaps. We also unpack the envelope rule moment, on-course dust-ups, and the broadcast choices that missed live drama.

Then we go under the hood. Our gear segment lays out a real fitting journey: swapping from low-launch, low-spin shafts to profiles with lower kick points and higher launch that unlocked height, spin, and consistency—proof that shaft profile beats flex and weight. We cover why ball testing matters, how to pick a model that fits your launch window, and the fastest ways to gain carry and hold greens without overhauling your swing.

If you care about the Ryder Cup’s soul, smarter setups, better fan policies, and pairings built on data and chemistry, this one’s for you. Hit play, share your winners and fixes, and tell us: what would you change first to bring the Cup back? Subscribe, leave a review, and send this to the golf friend who loves a good Sunday sweat.

Golf has a remarkable ability to shape our lives in unexpected ways. In this heartfelt episode, we take a moment to reflect on our six-year journey with the Chasing Daylight Podcast and share the deeply personal stories of how golf brought us together.

Each host reveals their unique path through the game. Dan recounts his early start at age three, his professional aspirations on mini-tours, and his current goals for USGA events. Joe describes his 20-year hiatus from golf before that one magical shot at Desert Willow rekindled his passion at age 33. Jeremy shares his evolution from Titleist loyalist to equipment explorer, while Matt traces his journey from casual player to blogger, club builder, and Callaway fitter.

What emerges through these stories is golf's power to connect people across time and geography. As Joe eloquently puts it, "Golf is the never-ending quest" that opens doors to experiences and friendships that would otherwise never exist. From discussing course conditions at Coyote Springs to debating dream destinations like Sand Valley and Gamble Sands, the conversation showcases how this game creates bonds that transcend competition.

Whether you're a lifelong player or new to golf, this episode reminds us that the true value of the game lies not in perfect scores but in the relationships formed along the way. As we continue chasing daylight together, we invite you to reflect on your own golf journey and the ways this remarkable game has enriched your life.

Join us live every Tuesday at 8:30 PM Pacific, or catch the recorded episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite podcast platform. Follow us on social media for more golf conversations, equipment insights, and behind-the-scenes moments from our never-ending quest to experience the best this game has to offer.
