Summary
Cameron Smith said he would “100%” return to the PGA Tour if LIV Golf collapses, though he stressed he wants the Saudi-backed circuit to continue.
April’s decision by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund to stop funding LIV beyond this season has left next year uncertain, with Smith saying “a lot of it is still up in the air.”
Michigan’s late-August LIV Team Championship has been reported as a possible cancellation, but players have been told to prepare as scheduled and Smith said he is doing the same.
Smith, who joined LIV in 2022 on a reported $140 million deal, said the league has boosted Australian golf; Adelaide drew more than 115,000 fans this year, a national attendance record.
