Just three weeks after officially joining LIV Golf, Cameron Smith captured his maiden title on the controversial circuit. The Australian was one of 12 major champions in the 48-player field this week at Rich Harvest Farms in Chicago where he secured a three-shot win.
While delighted with his win, Smith said a decision on whether he and other competitors in LIV Golf will receive world rankings points needs to be made soon. Greg Norman and co have applied to be recognised in the world rankings, which play a key role in deciding entry into golf's four majors.
As their file remains under review, the 29-year-old has pleaded for a resolution as soon as possible. “I suppose there's a lot on the line with the ranking points, getting into majors, stuff like that,” Smith, who earned exemption into golf's four majors for at least the next five years with his win at St. Andrews in July.
