This comes after Smith failed to deny that he was signing for the LIV Golf when asked directly at a press conference, adding to the mounting speculation he has. “My goal is to win the FedExCup play-offs, that's what I'm here for," he said. "If there's something I need to say regarding the PGA Tour or LIV it will come from Cameron Smith not Cameron Percy.
