The host and comedians made what the internet termed a “funny” roast surrounding Smith. They even said, “Number two golfer in the World, number one aquatic flightless bird.” The roast, however, did not end so easily.

The hosts also mocked the pro golfer for his pants being ironed. Their exact words were, “Dude, Cam, thank you so much for ironing your pants. We’re sure the owner of this course really appreciates that.”

Clearly, even the $100M LIV golf Star is not safe from being trolled online.

Moreover, they also discussed his mustache. They said, “ Your mustache is so thin, it gives directions instead of rides.” The roast went on and on. While some social media users appreciated them for the content, others were quick to point out how some parts of it were not so funny.

Cameron Smith’s move to LIV Golf not only added money to his account but also added to the criticism he received from the traditionalists.

Smith also talked about his reasons for making the shift. He said, “The biggest thing for me joining is [LIV’s] schedule is really appealing,” Smith said. “I’ll be able to spend more time at home in Australia and maybe have an event down there as well. I haven’t been able to do that, and to get that part of my life back was really appealing.”

Recently, he also suggested that LIV Golf should also have a system of World ranking points like the PGA Tour does. As it would reinforce the players to improve their game.
