Australian Cameron Smith has become the latest huge-name player to jump ship and join the LIV Golf ranks, defecting alongside five others on Tuesday ahead of the breakaway circuit's fourth event.
Smith enjoyed his greatest moment in golf just over a month ago, triumphing at the 150th Open at the iconic St Andrews after producing a phenomenal final round display to leave huge favourite Rory McIlroy shocked.
Smith, from Brisbane, now sits as world No 2 and has been tipped to compete for more majors in the near future. However, immediately after his famous Open victory, talk turned to his potential involvement with LIV Golf which gathered more momentum as the weeks went by.
