PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Contrary to chatter in 19th holes and bars along A1A, all vestiges of Cameron Smith’s victory in the 2022 Players Championship have not been washed clean at the TPC Sawgrass or the Players Stadium Course.
It’s true that the Jacksonville-area resident and Australian native lost his playing and practicing privileges at the home of the Players when he defected to the LIV Golf League last year after becoming the first man since Jack Nicklaus in 1978 to win the Players and the British Open in the same year.
