Colt Knost Interview: Working "The Greatest Gig Ever" + The Current State of Golf

On this episode of the Smylie Show, Smylie Kaufman welcomes a fellow player-turned-broadcaster, Colt Knost, to the show!

Colt and Smylie relive the highlights (and lowlights!) from an incredible trip to Pine Valley, commiserate over their shared post-playing-career struggles with the short game, and discuss the future of the game of golf - from TGL, to LIV, to YouTube.

They also relive one of their wildest shared playing experiences at Torrey Pines as we head into this week's PGA TOUR stop at the Farmers Insurance Open.
