Merry Christma-Kwanza-Kah! In this special holiday "spectacular," Matt, Dan, and Jeremy are joined by Joe (briefly!) and a surprise appearance by Greenley to talk through the latest chaos in the world of professional golf and some major personal news. 

The guys dive deep into the massive rumors surrounding Brooks Koepka potentially leaving LIV Golf, the financial hurdles of a $100 million sign-on bonus, and what it could mean for the PGA Tour. They also discuss the recent retirements of Mito Pereira and Henrik Stenson, questioning if the "generational wealth" of LIV is losing its luster compared to playing in front of real crowds. 

On a more personal note, Matt reveals the results of his MRI: it turns out he’s been playing with a "massive" Baker’s cyst and a knee that is officially "bone-to-bone." He shares the plan for a full knee replacement and his goal to be back on the course in under three months—hopefully with a "Japanese forged" bionic knee. 

Also in this episode:

  • New Gear Talk: Early impressions of the Callaway Quantum and TaylorMade Qi10 drivers. 
  • The Heartland Tournament: What we know (and don't know) about the Landmand qualifying lottery and representing your state. 
  • Holiday Wishlists: From new rangefinders to "non-poor people" Vanquish shafts. 
  • New York Christmas: Matt’s upcoming trip to the Big Apple and the search for the best bagel (shoutout to Pop-Up Bagel and Russ & Daughters). 

Happy Holidays from the Chasing Daylight crew! We’ll see you in 2026
