World number two Cameron Smith, who won his first major at last month's British Open, headlined the latest group of players who have agreed to join LIV Golf, the lucrative Saudi Arabia-backed breakaway series said on Tuesday .
Smith last competed over the weekend at the PGA Tour's season-ending Tour Championship where he made US$640,000 after finishing 20th in a 29-player field a week after withdrawing from the penultimate playoff event citing hip discomfort. "LIV Golf is showing the world that our truly global league is attracting the world’s best players and will grow the game into the future for the next generation," Greg Norman, chief executive officer of LIV Golf, said in a news release.
The PGA Tour, which has seen high-profile players like Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau make the move to LIV Golf, has previously said any members who compete on the rival circuit will be suspended indefinitely.
