News about Cam Smith

Jason Day has been left flying the flag for Australian men's golf after an otherwise wretched day on the Royal Troon links ended with the rest of the green-and-gold challenge at the British Open being blown away.

As Australians, we do our best not to let our friends down, says Mick Fanning, who says the devastation he witnessed during and following the deadly 2022 Northern Rivers floods still tears at his heartstrings

On the 10th tee of the final round of the PGA Championship, Bryson DeChambeau captured the hearts of the golf world. An older man reached in front of a young kid and snatched the ball DeChambeau had tossed to him. DeChambeau immediately halted, backtracked and confronted the man. In the thick of the tournament, he wouldn't have been blamed for missing it but instead, it became a move that earned him praise as a 'man of the people'. It was a long way from the beefy disruptor of the past few years but somehow, at Valhalla, DeChambeau completed his transformation from LIV Golf villain to the hero of the PGA Championship.

WINTERS AT TRUMP DORAL NATIONAL: Before a single shot was played at LIV Golf Miami last week, Jon Rahm said he was 'confident' that either himself or one of his new colleagues would win the Masters. After play concluded on Sunday night, the reigning champion of Augusta National promised that it would be a 'great tale' if a LIV rebel wins on golf's grandest stage. During its costly recruitment drive since 2022, the Saudi-backed circuit may have produced some of the best recruiters since 2022, but only one, Brooks Koepka, has won a major championship while playing under the LIV banner. No rebel has resigned after releasing the green jacket post-departure.

According to reports, LIV Golf is embroiled in a mysterious legal controversy with a party behind a previous breakaway attempt in a sport that had a near-similarity to the Saudi rebel tour. Premier Golf League, headed by a British corporate finance lawyer, had devised plans to lure participants into a series of 18 holes, with a shotgun start and lucrative prize money on offer. According to the Times, PGL has been seeking $60 million in compensation, but they could have settled for a figure in excess of $10 million.

BY DANIEL MATTHEWS IN LAS VEGAS: It's just a short drive from The Strip to The Las Vegas Country Club. And on the scenic route, it takes about 20 minutes to walk away from the majestic resorts, through the private jet parking garage, and the low-rise motels and liquor stores that linger in Sin's shadow until you reach a set of gates. They're discovered just off Paradise Road, not how anyone would even think about this part of town or even the city. Not when Vegas is dogged in the smog and smattering rain of a winter's morning. This certainly isn't Cameron Smith's vision of heaven. 'No, no,' the Australian says with a chuckle. 'It's too crowded for me -- there are just too many people around.'

ISABEL BALDWIN AT MAYAKOBA, MEXICO: Tyrrell Hatton said his LIV Golf debut had the feeling of the first day of school, but that finding his feet would take a little while. The 32-year-old defected to the breakaway at the death just days before his 2024 season opener in El Camaleon, Mexico, and it appears he's going to take a lot longer than that for the offseason signee to adjust. He had previously expressed reservations about a defection due to his commitment to the Ryder Cup and the majors, but eventually gave in after a reported $64 million bid was rejected. For the first time this weekend, he followed Legion XIII captain Jon Rahm into battle. However, although the Spaniard immediately repaid LIV's multi-million dollar bid, Hatton would have been left wondering if his big bet was all worthwhile.

ISABEL BALDWIN AT MAYAKOBA, MEXICO: After Legion XIII, the Roman Empire unit that crossed the Rubicon under Julius Caesar, Jon Rahm named his LIV Golf team. Rahm crossed his own Rubicon on Friday, making it a fitting name. As soon as the Masters champion teed it up in Mayakoba on Friday, he began his life on LIV's side of the civil war, with no return to the PGA Tour allowed. Rahm, 29, had admitted that his $500 million LIV Golf defection was a'significant risk to take' ahead of his debut in Mexico earlier this week. On Friday, the gamble seemed to have paid off. With LIV, the Spaniard got off to a slew of holes, securing both his and the breakaway's big money moves within a single hole.
