    Inside the Genesis GV90 at Medinah with Amy Marentic

    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. 0:00 Amy Marentic joins Dan at Medinah1:13 Genesis at the Presidents Cup1:29 The GV90 arrives at Medinah2:24 Amy’s path from Michigan to Genesis4:22 Why she says yes to things that scare her5:23 “Winners Never Quit”7:16 From aerospace engineering to automotive9:10 The moment her astronaut dream changed10:56 Choosing Ford over Boeing, Lockheed and the Navy12:52 “A ship is safe in the harbor”14:47 “No one’s coming to save us”17:39 Why Amy returned to automotive18:20 What brought her to Genesis19:36 How Genesis anticipates what customers want20:24 The GV90’s hidden B-pillar21:16 “How we win matters”22:44 Balancing data with instinct24:21 Why Amy loves being uncomfortable25:58 Building Genesis without being tied to legacy27:03 The Genesis “Blank Canvas” philosophy28:22 A closer look at the Genesis GV9029:23 How the GV90 made it to production29:57 Swivel seats, refrigerator and cinema mode30:23 The GV90 roof airbag30:52 Inside the GV9031:25 Refrigerator and electrochromic roof32:00 Heated and cooled cupholders32:21 Final thoughts from Medinah

    Scottie Scheffler’s Presidents Cup Problem, Live From Medinah

    The Dan Evans Show is live from Medinah Country Club for Presidents Cup week. With players already on site and the course being prepared before the crowds arrive, Dan and the crew break down the biggest story surrounding Team USA: Scottie Scheffler is almost unbeatable in normal stroke play, but team golf has been a different challenge. The guys get into Scottie’s 3-5-1 Presidents Cup record, why match play changes the way he has to compete, and how that compares to Justin Thomas at 10-0-2. They also debate whether opponents bring a different level of intensity when they draw Scottie and whether this is finally the week he changes the story. Plus, the crew discusses Team USA’s recent international losses, Jackson Koivun’s opportunity, Geoff Ogilvy’s connection to the Medinah redesign, the brutal four-inch rough, wet course conditions, Medinah’s championship history, and what they are seeing firsthand from inside the property during Presidents Cup week.

Dan and the crew break down Jackson Koivun making Team USA, why his match-play background makes the pick so interesting, and which players have the strongest case for being left out.

    Wyndham Clark won the BMW Championship, but the bigger story may have been the crowd openly rooting against him.

They also discuss Michael Thorbjornsen’s breakthrough win, the final Rocket Classic in Detroit, Drake’s massive OVO Golf outing, Trey Mullinax’s PGA Tour suspension, Dan turning 40, and a game about what famous golf experiences used to cost.

    Jackson Koivun’s Ceiling, LIV’s Future, and a Wild Week in Golf

    Jackson Koivun is only 21 years old, but after winning in just his third PGA Tour start, the question is already how high his ceiling can go. Dan and the crew break down Koivun’s dominant first victory, his unbelievable Auburn résumé, whether he would already be a top-10 pick to win the most majors over the next decade, and whether he should make the Presidents Cup team. They also discuss Ted Scott leaving for the airport before Koivun finished, the latest LIV Golf cancellation rumors, Lucas Glover taking off his shoes on the green, Bryson DeChambeau nearly hitting Ian Poulter, Jerry Kelly’s senior major win, and the show’s latest scramble round.
