Cameron Smith almost confirms LIV switch as he admits he's 'prepared to deal with some heat'

Cameron Smith dropped the biggest hint that he had agreed a deal to join the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Tour.

Smith, 28, finally won his first major championship with a stunning final round victory at the The Open Championship in St. Andrews in July. I put an end to my expectations for the ship. Shortly after his victory, however, he refused to rule out a move to the Rebel Series. compatriot Cameron Percy told reporters that Smith had already agreed to a deal with Greg Norman. The Queenslanders responded positively to the allegations, stating, "You will hear the news from me, not from Cameron Percy."

But Smith has already defected. and has been widely reported to have signed a deal worth around £82m. And after shooting a 3-under-par opening round at the St. Jude Championship, he hinted that a move was imminent. That's what they're after. They're there to sell the story," he told Sky Sports. "I'm ready for the heat.

" "I know what I said, but I'm here to win the FedEx Cup playoffs.

The "fever" Smith spoke of was the first round to win the Masters. At the TPC Southwinds, which apparently emerged after teaming up with champion Scottie Schaeffler. On one green, an American vocal critic of LIV Golf defectors deliberately emphasizes walking across Smith's line.

Schaeffler seemed unperturbed by causing trouble for his playing partner, but Smith responded with a look of disgust. It was the latter who left the 2018 in better shape, but Schaeffler managed only one over of par 71.

Smith's participation in LIV Golf would be the next. A turbulent moment in the battle between the Rebel Tour and the PGA. Despite several big names earned by Norman so far, World No. 2 was his best year yet. The first player to switch allegiance while still ahead of him.
