Cameron Smith says his impending switch to LIV Golf overshadowed his win at The Open in 2022, and insisted the Saudi-backed circuit is going nowhere.
Both LIV and the PGA Tour engaged in a golf civil war of sorts before a shock announcement in June confirmed the two tours would be merging. Ahead of the latest LIV event at the Centurion Club, Smith said he believes the new and dynamic circuit has a long and bright future ahead.
"I really can't see LIV Golf going away," Smith added. "I think team golf is here to stay and if you asked every one of us out here, all the 48 guys, I think everyone has such a good time and everyone enjoys what they're doing out here. They love the competition and that team element really brings three or four guys really close that perhaps weren't before. It's good to see. It's unique. I don't think it's going anywhere."
