Smylie 🤝 Smylie: Elvis On Turning Pro At 18 + Winning On DPWT

The Smylie Show takes on a whole new meaning in this episode, as SMYLIE Kaufman is joined by 22-year-old DP World Tour winner Elvis SMYLIE in a very 😃 conversation!

The young Aussie Elvis tees it up in the Hero Dubai Desert Classic this week months after winning the BMW Australian PGA Championship, and tells Smylie (Kaufman) about that win, and his goals on the global stage.

Before we get to the Smylie 🤝 Smylie chat, Charlie Hulme opens the show with a piece of news on the LIV front, in the form of comments Eugenio Chacarra made as he departs the Tour. Smylie reacts, and we discuss the current state of ongoing negotiations between the PIF and the PGA TOUR.

Elvis shares insights on:

• His decision to turn pro at 18

• Overcoming early career struggles

• Winning his first DP World Tour event

• Training with Cameron Smith

• Aspirations for playing on the PGA Tour

The rising star also talks about his unique name, famous tennis-playing parents, and love for Australian wine. Hear how this talented lefty is making waves in the golf world and why he believes staying on the traditional tours is the right path for his career.
