Though some fans are against LIV Golf, it currently offers one of the most intriguing competitions in professional golf, thanks to participants such as Cameron Smith. The Aussie was on the verge of becoming the world number-one golfer last year. However, he decided to make the move to the Saudi-funded Tour. Smith recently reveals one of the scariest features of LIV Golf, and even discloses if it was the right or wrong decision to make the switch.

Cameron Smith surprised many last year with his impressive performances at the PGA Tour events. He won three tournaments on the Tour, including the Open Championship before joining the lucrative Tour. The move saddened the American Tour fans while bringing joy to LIV Golf stans.

Nonetheless, the then-world number two was widely scrutinized by golf fans for leaving the PGA Tour. He recently revealed what went through during his big decision-making, and what about the newfound Tour made him most nervous.

Cameron Smith recalls his big judgment day

The Aussie recently paid a visit to Straight Down the Middle’ish podcast. There he talked about his incredible the previous season, his target to win this year’s Masters, and much more. However, the conversation then led to the most talked about topic in the sport currently, LIV Golf.

When asked if it was a crucial decision of his life, Cam Smith replied, “It was definitely a big decision [of joining LIV], but I feel as though I definitely made the right decision”. He further added how the breakaway Tour has only been progressing on the right side with the last few events. “It’s going in the right direction. The fans love it”, the defector added.

Smith claimed that the build-up to LIV Golf events feels more like a “sporting event than a golf tournament”, which he loves it. However, a sudden move to a new style of golf Tour also has its challenges. The golfer was then asked about the newfound Tour’s Shotgun starts. “One of the biggest things I was scared”, Cam Smith stated.

The Shotgun starts in golf refers to when all the players from each group tee off at the same time from different holes. Nonetheless, being the world number four golfer, it wasn’t hard for the Aussie to settle in. He eventually adopted the unique routine and began to like it.

Cameron Smith said, “It worked so good. We were off at the same time every day, everyone’s playing in the same conditions [and] sure it’s a bit of a s*** show before the round getting guys out to their tees and stuff but it’s only 10 minutes”. After missing the cut in recent Saudi International, Smith looks to get back to winning ways.

The golfer had been in hot form last year. However, following his move to LIV Golf, he hasn’t been able to display the same attributes. Nonetheless, as he prepares for the second season, fans hope to witness another classic performance from the Aussie with the mullet.
