Frederik Kjettrup joins Dan Evans for one of the most honest young-pro conversations we’ve had on the show. From a small town in Denmark to Florida State, three wins on PGA Tour Americas, a U.S. Open start at Pinehurst, and then a rapid jump onto LIV Golf, Kjettrup’s career has moved fast. In this episode, he opens up about the LIV call, why he believed it was the right long-term decision, what he learned competing against major champions, why the season didn’t go the way he hoped, and what relegation means for the next chapter of his career. It’s a real look at pressure, development, uncertainty, and what pro golf actually feels like when your path changes fast.0:00 Frederik Kjettrup joins the show0:38 The name everyone gets wrong2:00 How golf started in Denmark4:28 Why he chose golf over every other sport6:23 From small-town Denmark to Florida State9:14 Why FSU changed his game11:02 Still using the Florida State facilities13:02 Moving 5,000 miles from home15:02 The biggest change in his game coming to America16:10 The bizarre 5-hole playoff that ended in darkness19:15 Life after college and turning pro20:30 Winning immediately on PGA Tour Americas21:23 Three wins in his first eight events22:29 Qualifying for the U.S. Open24:23 Missing the cut at Pinehurst by one shot26:52 The Pinehurst connection from childhood29:00 How Denmark helped fund his golf journey30:40 The LIV call changed everything31:22 Having a full Korn Ferry path in front of him32:17 Why he said yes to LIV33:22 Who helped him make the decision34:49 Choosing long-term development over the easy path37:39 What the LIV team setup is really like39:04 Why he struggled on LIV40:45 Why distance matters more than ever42:33 What he learned from major champions43:15 The intimidation factor of playing against Rahm, Bryson and Phil47:45 The pressure of the LIV relegation zone49:06 What comes after LIV relegation49:45 His girlfriend is a pro golfer too51:15 The travel grind on the Asian Tour52:08 Why golf is the most uncertain sport53:22 How he stays mentally steady

David Andrews joins Dan Evans for a conversation that goes way beyond football. The former Patriots captain opens up about life after the NFL, the hard transition out of the game, and how golf quickly became his new obsession. He also tells the unbelievable story of getting invited to play Augusta before he even really played golf — and why he turned it down. From retirement and identity to competition, family, golf, food, and life after football, this is one of the most honest conversations we’ve had on the show.0:00 David Andrews joins the show0:51 The hard transition out of football2:17 Golf became his whole personality3:58 Getting fitted and taking golf seriously5:39 Finding a new competitive fix6:48 Retirement, identity, and what comes next9:50 Why golf gear is a dangerous addiction13:13 Tiger, pressure, and the mental side of golf16:32 David’s Masters memories17:34 The Augusta invite he turned down18:13 His Georgia farm and home life19:10 The undrafted journey to Patriots captain21:54 Why the NFL is so cutthroat22:58 Belichick, truth-telling, and young athletes26:58 Sneaky pizza and cooking on the Big Green Egg30:04 His dream golf food truck31:36 The charity event that means a lot to him32:31 Shoulder limitations and owning his swing33:30 Bob Does Sports and the rise of golf YouTube34:30 David Andrews on LIV vs the PGA Tour37:54 The future of golf culture38:18 His son’s golf obsession40:00 Starting a golf YouTube channel?40:58 Final thoughts

Jerry Kelly joins Dan Evans for a raw and revealing conversation about one of the toughest paths in pro golf. Before becoming a longtime PGA Tour player and one of the game’s most respected veterans, Kelly went 0-for-6 at Q School, waited 200 starts for his first win, and built his career the hard way. He opens up about the chip on his shoulder, the mindset that kept him going, his love for the Cologuard Classic and the moments that shaped him on and off the course.

The crew digs into one of the biggest golf storylines of the week: Rory McIlroy’s back injury and what it could mean for The Players. From Bay Hill wear-and-tear to predictions on whether Rory could contend, withdraw, or gut it out, the conversation starts with the uncertainty around one of golf’s biggest stars. Then the episode shifts into Jon Rahm’s fight with the DP World Tour over Ryder Cup eligibility, plus reactions to Akshay Bhatia’s win, Daniel Berger’s collapse, Shane Lowry chatter, Bryson in Australia, and more.

On this episode of The Dan Evans Show, presented by Sports Illustrated, Dan sits down with Florida standout Jack Turner — one of the most clutch young players in college golf — for a conversation about pressure, confidence, and what the road to the PGA Tour really looks like now. Jack opens up about why college golf is starting to feel more like a job, how PGA Tour University is changing the mindset of top players, and what it takes to keep loving the game while your future starts riding on every result.

They also get into Jack’s move from New England to Florida in eighth grade, the development of his game at Montverde, what made Florida the right fit, and how early the recruiting process really starts for elite players. From there, the conversation goes deeper into the moments that shaped him: the wasp sting that wrecked his first college start, the mindset shift that helped him bounce back, the course-record 56, and the unforgettable 29-hole playoff against his own roommate.

It’s an honest look at elite college golf from the inside — not just the scores and results, but the pressure, team dynamics, mental game, and pro ambitions that come with trying to make it at the highest level.

Dan Evans takes listeners inside a side of PGA Tour week that most golf fans never get to see.

After getting a special invite into the Arnold Palmer Invitational pro-am through Mastercard, Dan and the crew break down how the player-selection draft actually works, which stars were already off the board, why Rory McIlroy being available was such a surprise, and how the group ultimately ended up playing Bay Hill with Viktor Hovland.

The episode also gets into what it feels like to step into that world for the first time: Dan’s first trip to Bay Hill, his first PGA Tour pro-am, the 7:10 a.m. tee time that came with getting Hovland, and the pressure of showing up on-site before sunrise for one of the most iconic weeks in golf.

From the weirdness of pro-am pace to the reality that players are still treating it like a final practice round before the tournament starts, this is a true behind-the-scenes golf story with access, nerves, and a look at how tournament week really works.

Genesis doesn’t just sponsor a tournament — they build an experience. From Riviera during the Genesis Invitational, Dan Evans sits down with Ted Mengiste, COO of Genesis North America, to pull back the curtain on what “honored guest” hospitality actually looks like in pro golf.

Ted explains why Genesis and golf are such a natural fit, how Korean golf culture shaped the brand’s approach, and what it means to deliver a luxury standard in an arena where the biggest names have been around for a century. They also get into one of the most talked-about inside details of the week: how Genesis treats caddies at Riviera, and why that matters more than fans realize.

Plus: Ted’s personal journey from Ethiopia to Kenya to Indiana, how he unexpectedly found his way into the auto world, the leadership principle “how we win matters,” what Genesis learned from scaling fast, and how Hyundai Motor Group innovation feeds into what’s coming next.

To close, Ted details Genesis’ wildfire response efforts in Southern California — including major donations, vehicle support, and why the company doubled down on its long-term commitment to the event and the community.

Dan’s back from Riviera (Genesis Invitational) with the kind of insider texture you don’t get from a broadcast recap — hospitality, media access, and the little “only at Riv” details that show how premium Tour weeks actually work.

Tommy Fleetwood goes sponsor-less… then casually pops up in Augusta/Masters gear (and even borrows a sweatshirt from Jason Day). Is it a negotiation play, a brand reset, or something bigger? From there, the crew digs into the real money and leverage behind apparel deals (and why some numbers never get said out loud), Tiger’s latest “door still open” signals, Scottie’s rain-delay mindset, and two moment-heavy highlights: Max Greyserman’s ace and Neil Shipley’s first-ever TGL hole-in-one.
