PGA Tour star Cameron Percy has revealed Cameron Smith no longer returns his calls after the Australian inadvertently let slip that the Open champion was set to join LIV Golf.
The lucrative LIV Golf series is funded by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund and it has divided golf, leaving the PGA and DP World Tours fractured after the new series poached some of the sports biggest names. Several of the world’s most prominent players have decided to switch to LIV Golf, including the likes of Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, and Dustin Johnson.
LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman has lured a number of players to the breakaway series since it rose to prominence earlier in the year, and Smith became the highest ranked player to make the move. The Australian - who is second in the official world golf rankings - reportedly signed for the Saudi-backed venture for £84 million.
