The golf world is buzzing with speculation after Open champion Cameron Smith’s non-denial when asked if he was joining the LIV Golf Invitational Series, coupled with Greg Norman promising enough new recruits this week that LIV has “closed shop” on the 2023 roster.
Smith, whose historic victory Sunday at St. Andrews was followed by a testy exchange on his future plans, appears set by all reports to be the headliner this week when the startup league announces the latest defectors from the PGA Tour.
Smith was annoyed by a question about rumors he was jumping to the Saudi-financed league after winning his first major championship. He shot 64 Sunday to edge Cameron Young by one stroke.
