    What is up, everybody? Welcome to another episode of the Chasing Daylight Podcast!

    This week, the boys are breaking down the biggest equipment news of early 2026. Matt brings the heat with an exclusive in-hand look at the new Callaway Quantum driver lineup. We dive deep into the tech, including the new "polymesh" material, the 14% thinner face, and the unique weighting system that is changing the game. Is it actually better than the Ai Smoke? Matt shares his personal fitting numbers and ball speed gains to prove it.

    In this episode:

    • The PGA Show Report: Roars is on the ground in Orlando, and the verdict is in—attendance is down, and the show floor feels different this year.
    • Callaway Quantum Reveal: A full breakdown of the Quantum Max, Max D, and the Triple Diamond. Plus, we look at the new adjustable lie angles on fairway woods and the new Opus Max irons.
    • Golf News & Rumors: We discuss the insane rumor regarding Bryson DeChambeau seeking a $500 million contract renewal with LIV and thoughts on the future of the league.
    • Life Updates: Matt is 21 days away from his total knee replacement and becoming a "cyborg".
    • Giveaways: Congratulations to our first-time listener, Anthony, for winning the Garson Golf giveaway!.

  • 361: Brooks Returns to the PGA Tour, Golf Travel Buckets & Scotty Cameron Pilgrimages
    Jan 15 2026

    Send us a text

    Dan is away getting his reggae on in Mexico, so the crew calls up a heavy hitter from the bullpen: Mike from Beautiful Golf Courses joins Matt, Joe, and Jeremy for a packed episode.

    The guys dive immediately into the biggest news in golf: Brooks Koepka is officially back on the PGA Tour. We break down the strategic timing, the specific parameters that allowed his return (and seemingly excluded Phil Mickelson), and what this means for Bryson DeChambeau, Cam Smith, and the future sustainability of LIV Golf.

    Later, the conversation shifts to "Experiential Golf." Mike and the guys discuss why difficult-to-reach courses like Landman, Dismal River, and Gamble Sands are worth the journey. We debate if the hype is real, the logistics of booking tee times, and why the "hang" is just as important as the golf.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • The Return of Brooks: Analyzing Brooks' statement, the financial penalties, and why the PGA Tour needs Bryson back next.
    • LIV Golf Status: Is the league on the verge of folding, or will it evolve into something else?.
    • Game Time: Matt hosts a round of "LIV Golfer or Southern Nevada Amateur?".
    • Matt's Road to Recovery: Matt announces his official date for total knee replacement surgery and his goal to be ready for the team trip to Landman.
    • Scotty Cameron Pilgrimage: Jeremy recaps his first-ever trip to the Scotty Cameron Gallery in Encinitas and the process of buying a Circle T.
    • Wisconsin Lore: A strange detour into Green Bay fandom, cheese, and Wisconsin’s surprisingly dark true crime history.
    • Course Reviews: Thoughts on Coyote Springs (and the Bob Does Sports episode), Prairie Club, and Sand Valley.

  • 360: Paiute in the Fog, Callaway Chrome Tour & The "Joker" Revealed!
    Jan 8 2026

    Send us a text

    Two truths can exist at once: golf is thriving, and some of its boldest experiments still can’t find the right stage. We start the year by proving why the local game matters most—new energy in the Vegas Golf Network, a private Facebook group where real debates live, and our fresh “Joker Low Net” format that rewards players who go low! We also welcomed Relic Body Arts as a sponsor and spun up live giveaways because community isn’t a slogan for us; it’s the point.

    Gear lovers get plenty to chew on. Callaway refreshed the Chrome Soft family and teased the Quantum driver, with materials and cover tech designed to add speed without sacrificing feel. We talk about where gains might come from, how fitters will test the claims, and why early-access fittings at private clubs can be a cheat code for smarter buying. Then we press into the TGL problem: elite players, clever tech, but buried time slots and an audience left guessing. Our fix is simple—put it on Golf Channel in prime hours, replay it smartly, and partner with OEMs to explain equipment choices in real time so the product tells a story the average golfer can follow.

    The heart of the show is a fog-drenched round at Paiute that reminded us why we play. With visibility down, we moved up a tee box, hit more short irons, tightened dispersion, and tied a personal best. It wasn’t about ego; it was about making the course fit the day and the body. That theme rolls straight into putting: a quick posture reset led to a shorter putter and a better stroke. If you can’t reach a studio, grab a roll-out mat, a mirror, and a yardstick to lock in start line and face control. For newer golfers, we lay out a sane gear path—shop quality used sets or get a fit, and if you’re slicing, buy one lesson and actually do the work.

    We finish by spotlighting the LPGA at Shadow Creek, a full-field event at a bucket-list course that most fans will never step on. That’s how you build intrigue the right way. The West Coast swing is loading—Sony, AmEx, Farmers, Phoenix, Pebble, Genesis—and we’ll be ready with takes, gear notes, and more community wins.

    If this mix of real-world golf, gear honesty, and smarter practice vibes with you, tap follow, share the show with a golf buddy, and drop a review. Your support helps us grow the community and bring you more fittings, giveaways, and deep-dive episodes all season long.
