Amid the PGA Tour’s latest pathway back for the LIV Golf stars, Cam Smith has made it clear that he will stick with the Saudi-backed circuit. In a recent interview, the Australian star stated that he had made the decision to join LIV to spend more time with family, and he was not going to change it.
On Tuesday, January 13, Cam Smith and other team captains were present for the LIV Golf press conference. Earlier this week, Brooks Koepka rejoined the PGA Tour under strict conditions, which made the likes of Smith, Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau eligible for return.
However, during the press conference, Cam Smith reiterated that he was sticking with the Saudi-backed circuit.
“To be honest, I made a decision to come out here and spend more time at home, and I’m not giving that away,” he said. “I’ll be on LIV.”
The 2022 Open Championship winner was also asked about the recent developments during the press conference, where he spoke on similar lines.
“I mean, I really don’t have any thoughts (on what happend in last two days),” he said. “I haven’t had a lot of time to think about it. But I know I’m here to stay. I’m here to support LIV. I’m a captain of a great team and a great group of people. I’m happy where I am. I’m proud of where I am. I think we do many great things, particularly in Australia, and I can’t wait for this league to keep growing.”
