Open champion Cam Smith has admitted he thought the announcement that LIV Golf had signed a merging agreement with their PGA Tour rivals was a 'joke'.
Smith shocked the world of golf last summer after deciding to join the LIV setup just weeks after winning the 150th Open Championship at St Andrews. The Australian was arguably the breakaway league's biggest coup - and a huge loss for the PGA Tour - having been ranked No. 2 in the world at the time.
Following his Saudi switch it appeared the Champion Golfer of The Year's career on the PGA Tour was over, but last week's announcement could well have changed that.
