On this episode, Smylie Kaufman sits down with Jason Dufner for a conversation about his incredible golf journey, from his humble beginnings as a walk-on at Auburn to his triumph at Oak Hill in the 2013 PGA Championship.

Jason goes in-depth on his putting ā€œyipsā€ and the work he’s done with a Navy SEAL, exchanging stories with Smylie about the mental side of professional golf. He also shares some chipping/pitching tips he’s learned from observing the game’s best, and tells some hilarious Vijay Singh practice round stories.

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
