Cameron Smith Has Signed A $140 MILLION Deal With LIV Golf..
Welcome back to Sports Summary, today on the channel we are going to talk about Cameron Smith releasing a defiant statement after reports he has signed a deal with LIV Tour + other related news. Open champion Cameron Smith has issued a defiant statement after reportedly signing with the controversial Saudi-backed LIV Golf Series. Australian golfer Cameron Percy said this week his countryman’s move was a done deal and a report emerged on Wednesday morning (AEST) confirming the news. According to the UK Telegraph, Smith has signed a deal worth more than $AUD140 million and will play at an upcoming LIV event in Boston. The world No. 2 would be the highest-ranked player to defect from the PGA. Smith fronted the media at a press conference on Tuesday ahead of the FedEx Cup playoffs, where he was asked about his involvement with LIV. The 28-year-old said he had “no comment” on reports of his defection and also clipped Percy for saying he had made the bombshell move. Asked a follow-up question, Smith added: “I have no comment to that. Like I said, I’m here to play the FedEx Cup playoffs. That’s been my focus the last week and a half. According to sports reporter Matt Infield, Smith said “thanks guys” and “walked out” of the press conference when asked another follow-up question about LIV. The Telegraph reports Aussie legend Greg Norman — who is spearheading the LIV revolution — was in discussions with Smith before he won the Open and held the coveted Claret Jug aloft last month. Meanwhile, Judge rules three LIV players will not be permitted to join FedEx Cup playoffs. U.S. District Court Judge Beth Labson Freeman heard arguments from attorneys representing both the PGA Tour and a consortium of eleven LIV-affiliated players on Tuesday afternoon. Three LIV players — Talor Gooch, Hudson Swafford and Matt Jones — were seeking a temporary restraining order that would permit them to compete in this week's tournament, the first event of the FedEx Cup playoffs.
