PGA Tour rookie Jake Knapp talks to Smylie Kaufman about his professional journey from working security at a bar, to finishing third in the third start of his rookie season at Torrey Pines. Jake also discusses how his love for weightlifting has translated into a golf swing with easy power (with a bench/squat/ball speed/clubhead speed reveal!), and compares 2020 Call of Duty routines with SK.

This aged nicely Congratulations on your win
I used to religiously go out and watch Jake on the Canadian Tour when he was grindng up here. Guy is a god-tier ballstriker and so much fun to watch. Only a matter of time before he starts racking up wins on the PGA tour.
welp!
good call
@@gray6974 @cpm98f Honestly forgot I had made this comment until your replies. Made my day lol!
This aged well. Congrats Jake
Love how he didn't know there was a spot for family members if they come to the tournament. A true up and comer.
I love this podcast. This is the best golf podcast right now keep grinding brother the content is so good. From you being on tour makes you so likable and these guys open up so much.
Seems like a cool dude, I’ll always root for the So Cal guys
Top ten finish this week locked in
Just love how SK is connected to the up-and-comers. _JK is gunna be a beauty, feels like a Max Homa 2.0?!_
I’m a pro natural classic physique competitor getting into golf. Awesome to hear him mention that!
Let’s gooooo this dude is a gamer
45:30 good call smylie
interesting. if Jake can somehow hold on in the final round at the WM, and finish say top-15 or so (and finish ahead of JT), earning about 50+ points, he will have enough AON Swing 5 points to get a spot in the field at the Genesis next week. something to watch.
His 171 bs off the carpet with an iron had me falling out of my chair the Sunday of the farmers
Awesome content for the game of golf
Watched this just prior to Jakes final round at Vidanta. Great interview and very informative. Congratulations on the victory Jake! We are also from Costa Mesa, California! ⛳️🏌️♂️
