Open champion Cameron Smith joined the LIV Golf Series yesterday. A formal decree from LIV made official one of the worst-kept secrets in golf and comes days before the series tees it up in Boston.
Smith, from Australia, told Golf Digest yesterday that his decision was not all about the enormous paychecks being flung about by the LIV.
“[Money] was definitely a factor in making that decision, I won’t ignore that or say that wasn’t a reason,” Smith said. “It was obviously a business decision for one and an offer I couldn’t ignore.”
