BREAKING: Open Championship Winner Cameron Smith Is Heading to LIV Golf, His Compatriot Confirms

The LIV Golf Invitational Series is currently trending across the golf world. They are trying their best to establish their authority. Hence, after signing golfers like Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, and others, they have now signed the top Australian golfers, Cameron Smith, and Marc Leishman. 

Meanwhile, fans believed these signings were imminent as the LIV Golf CEO, Greg Norman, is from Australia. Hence, as a fellow Australian, he knew how to influence the 2022 Open Championship winner, Cameron Smith. And it looks like the deal is being completed with another tour pro, Marc Leishman, joining him. 

Cameron Smith and Marc Leishman to join the LIV Golf Invitational Series

The 2022 Players’ Championship and Open Championship winner, Cameron Smith, will join the LIV Golf Invitational Series. However, a few fans believed he would stay loyal to the PGA Tour that has provided him so much this year. But Greg Norman probably had some other plans, which pushed the champion golfer of the year to join the rival league.

NUCLR Golf, a prominent golf account on Twitter, recently made a tweet about the same. He wrote, “Cam Smith and Marc Leishman are heading to LIV Golf, according to fellow Australian golfer Cam Percy, who finished T8 at the Wyndham. ‘Unfortunately, yeah, they’re gone.’ Percy said the deals are already done to RSN Radio Australia.” 

Meanwhile, there has been no official confirmation from Cameron Smith or LIV Golf yet. But we can expect the same from either of them soon. But a fellow Australian golfer, Cam Percy, has confirmed their association with LIV Golf and has revealed that they have already completed the deals.

Moreover, a few reports suggest that these two golfers will join the LIV golf team after the FedExCup playoffs. Smith and Leishman are probably waiting for this season to finish so that they can have a fresh beginning in the Saudi-backed rival league.

Additionally, Cameron Smith is 2nd in the FedExCup rankings, while Marc Leishman is 62nd. Hence, logically, it is clever of both these golfers to compete in the FedExCup playoffs first and then join LIV Golf.

Meanwhile, the current LIV players have sued the PGA Tour for their suspension. And the matter is in the courts for this week. So it will be interesting to see how things unfold from here.
