  • Steph Curry’s New Golf Clubs Cost $5,000
    23 Oct 2026

    Steph Curry has a new set of golf clubs, and they come with a $5,000 price tag.

    The show breaks down Curry’s limited-edition Miura irons, why only 300 sets are being made, what makes them different from the standard versions, and why one club in the set is stamped “30” instead of 6.

    That leads into a bigger equipment debate about whether iron numbers even make sense anymore when lofts vary so much from brand to brand.

    Then the guys get into Kevin Kisner calling out Rory McIlroy, Rory’s response, and the debate over whether playing international events for appearance money can also be considered “growing the game.”

    Plus, a full look at the latest TGL changes, Shane Lowry joining Rory in Boston, the new five-player team format, Tiger Woods return speculation, the upcoming women’s TGL season, and a very unnecessary $85 golf purchase from Dan.

  • I Finally Played Chicago Golf Club
    15 Oct 2026

    Dan Evans finally checked Chicago Golf Club off the bucket list.

    After years of being asked whether he had ever played one of the most exclusive courses in America, Dan finally got the invitation and experienced Chicago Golf Club firsthand.

    He breaks down what makes the course so difficult, from thick rough and deceptive bunkering to brutal green complexes and championship-speed putting surfaces. Dan also reveals what he shot and explains why, in the conditions he played it, Chicago Golf Club felt harder than Augusta National.

    The show also dives into what makes Chicago Golf Club so historically important. Dan talks about the club’s role as one of the founding clubs of the USGA, the story behind the out-of-bounds rule, the no-electronics tradition, the historic clubhouse, and the dedicated train car that once brought golfers directly from Chicago to the club.

    Plus, the crew gets into Margaret Abbott’s incredible Olympic story, the club’s old equipment history, the Genesis experience that got Dan on property, and why playing Chicago Golf Club felt like stepping back into another era of golf.

  • Inside the Genesis GV90 at Medinah with Amy Marentic
    2 Oct 2026

    The Dan Evans Show is on site at Medinah Country Club during the 2026 Presidents Cup for a conversation with Genesis executive Amy Marentic and a closer look at the new Genesis GV90.

    Amy talks with Dan about the thinking behind Genesis, how the brand approaches luxury, and why being willing to say yes to ambitious ideas matters when you are trying to build something different.

    Then the conversation turns to the GV90.

    Amy explains how some of the vehicle’s most unusual ideas made the jump from concept to production, including its hidden B-pillar, coach doors, front seats that swivel while the vehicle is stationary, built-in refrigerator, cinema mode, electrochromic moonroof, roof airbag, and heated and cooled cupholders.

    The interview also gets into Amy’s path from aerospace engineering to the automotive industry, her approach to leadership, why she embraces uncomfortable situations, and how Genesis thinks about building a luxury brand without being tied to decades of legacy.
