In this episode of the Dope Stroke Podcast, putting coach extraordinaire Phil Kenyon joins the lads for an unfiltered chat about tour life, coaching elite talent, and—most importantly—how he helped turn Scottie Scheffler into a putting force. From being ranked 162nd in strokes gained putting to cracking the top 30, Phil breaks down the subtle but game-changing shifts that unlocked Scheffler’s confidence on the greens.
He explains how ditching the line on the ball, switching putter styles, and a grip change all played a role—but more than anything, it was about freeing Scheffler’s mind and simplifying the process. The crew also dives into the Memorial, Rory McIlroy’s controversial no-show, Jack Nicklaus’ subtle jabs, and Phil’s experiences coaching across both Ryder Cup teams.
From champagne in the Claret Jug to coaching under pressure at majors, Phil opens up about his journey, mindset, and what separates good from great when it comes to coaching tour players. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or just love the inside scoop from golf’s inner circle, this episode is packed with insights, laughs, and a few spicy takes.
